Just returned from a 2 week stay in cvo and I cannot recommend the Cattleman enough - the friendliness of Frank and his charming Chef (didn't catch her name), the first class quality of the steaks and the Ragout Fin was to die for - try it with a splash of Worcestershire sauce!! We celebrated the wi...

Walking is not a problem for the wife & I but the son-in-law is a "petrol head" so he thinks we should drive everywhere! We also have our 4 month old grandson & pushchair this visit but between the 4 of us we should manage to push uphill, depends how many Super-bocks we've had!!

Thanks for that - you can get a lot of journeys at that rate compared with the cost of hiring a MPV!!

Does anyone know the approximate Taxi charges from the Town Centre to the Hotel Tivoli, please? We will be over again in September but finding the cost of hiring a MPV for the duration a bit high!!

Last turning to the right on the out road (past the new apartments on the right). Go up the hill and turn first sharp left . Casa Limoa is behind the big green gates.

I agree with streamline, we have stayed there once or twice a year over the last 6 years and have always been made very welcome. The facilities are clean, very private and very beautiful. The owners are always available and apart from the band at the Mexican restaurant, we have experienced very litt...

BMi Baby are expanding their flights to Faro with pretty well the same coverage as Easyjet BUT at a much higher price. Jet2com are using EMA but no flights to Faro.

I think they shut down at the end of October but give them a line at: jailhousemusic@live.co.uk for confirmation.

No jet2 flights to Faro scheduled from EMA but BmiBaby are taking over all Easyjet slots from Jan next year with 3 more aircraft operating from EMA.

Coming out as well in a couple of weeks - must ring Happy - phone number is: 282 357 692

Just had an email from EJ which lists their concern and projected proposals in regard to flights from EMA & Luton next year. Seems that they are looking to reduce their Luton operation by about 25% and move out of EMA all together. They have started their 90 day consultation with the respective staf...

Yes, you will have to go up Farol and turn left by the market, and through MD. Hope you can get close enough to park. Parking at our accommodation is no problem but maybe problems parking during the daily "shopping trips" etc? We are in the habit of leaving a car at the bottom of the hill leading t...

Just checking it out this afternoon, I think one of the problems is that the cut through between the in and out roads, by the old bakery, is closed. This means all traffic coming into the village finishes up crossing the square. This should correct itself on completion of the out road. But as we ha...
