I know its the 6 million dollar question trying to predict the weather, but thinking of traveling over with the kids at easter (april 2nd) and wondering what to expect weather wise, based on previous years. Are we talking t shirts and shorts and getting a few hours on the beach or am i being very op...

Yes, just returned from Carvoeiro 2 weeks ago and they had jetskis for hire. The waves are were so big that in the 2 weeks I was there, i didnt see anyone hire them. Also I think that 35euro for 15 mins is excessive. Not worth it.

Asked one of the local waiters about her today and he informed me that she has been like this for awhile. She has even walked into the Primavera restaurant with no clothes on, so must be going on for awhile. She is not local, has an english accent and they said she lives nearby. The GNR dont want an...

Would appreciate some info from people in the know in Carvoeiro. I am staying in a villa near the primavera restaurant and each night we come across a woman who seems in serious distress. First night she was crying hystericall into a phone and the next morning she was outside our villa sitting on th...

Delighted to confim that the villa did have a number of beach towels. Did end up bringing some also, so happy days. Weather is beautiful, lots of people around and food is great.

Thanks for all the advice. I booked through Villa plus on this holiday, so you lose that relationship you often build when renting directly with the owner. Otherwise i would certainly have discussed towels with an owner. Looking forward to the holiday in Carvoeiro with some sun, good food and a few ...

When in Carvoeiro last july, we wanted to bring some friends we met, to a nice restaurant that we hadnt tried before. During a daily walk we spotted Taste and booked. We had a fantastic meal and the atmosphere was lovely. Hopefully, it is still the same as we will visit again next week

€12.00 for 4 full size towels at Primark !

Wow, thats an incredible price. At that price , I would certainly purchase the towels in Primark.
Thanks for the info

Please bring or buy your own beach towesls , most property owners would be very uspset to think that you were using those supplied for use in the villa etc. I have known some deduct money from the security deposit for towel stained with sun tan lotion etc. Beach towels in the supermarkets are not e...

Almost ready to depart with only a few days to go, cant wait. As there are 9 of us and travelling steerage with Ryanair, i just thought i would pose the question about towels. We have a villa hired and will need to bring beach towels, so just wondering if we could pick up large beach towels at very ...

Ok, just saw that video and certainly not brave enough to do anything like that. When you are walking dwn steps to the restaurant, there are also steps going left which lead up to rock ath along the sea. About 20 yds along, there are some 5/6 steps into the sea. Water looks beautiful there for swimm...

Always enjoy going for a walk from the little restaurant at algar seco along the cliffs. Shortly after the restaurant, there are some steps going down into the open sea and I was just wndering if it was safe to jump and swim there. I have never seen anyone swimming, so looking for some local knowled...

Have managed to attend some Soccer friendlies before, when in the Algarve. Would anyone know of a website or link that might tell me if there are any friendlies on in July? I did attend a tournament with some teams in the Faro stadium a few years back, which was enjoyable.

Agree, he was always jolly and polite, but really cant see why he choose Carvoeiro to make a living. You would imagine that he would have chosen a much busier resort, especially with teenagers on 18-30 holidays, where there would be a bigger business.

Nice review. Looks like Bradys will the place for live music this year.
