Re: Help! Suggestions for those who need to get back to the

If they have to be back by Tuesday and can't afford to take the risk with a flight on the monday then they really should set off now by car or train! We have always gone from Santander but this is an overnight crossing and I am not sure what days it leaves. They are probably best going to France and...

Re: Reliable Builders

I agree Lesley. You can't label all Expat builders as bad. I know some people who have bad experiences with the Portuguese builders. One of the reason I joined this forum was so I could get advice and recommendations for things such as builders, plumbers, doctors etc. I have found it very useful and...

Re: Reliable Builders

I'd also be interested in contact details. We need some work done to our villa and getting a few quotes at the moment. It would be good to use someone who comes with high recommendation.

Re: Holiday activities for kids (Aged 3-6)

I would highly recommend Ferragudo Praia Grande beach for young children. There is little play area and a few beach bars actually on the beach so you if you fancy lunch you can eat whilst the kids play.
Lagos Zoo is also a nice day out for young kids.

Take a look at this link. It mentions the hotel Cristal, which is near the Tivoli, has an indoor pool that non residents can use.

I don't want to appear nit-picking, agree it is a lovely view and hope that Paul and Phil can survive a difficult winter, but wonder how you can see the sunset when the view from the balcony is to the East and the sun sets in the West :? :? I admit we left at about 5.15 so maybe the sun does actual...

We had a lovely drink in the bote this afternoon. They are now opening from 3pm and have shut the downstairs for the winter and just opening the terrace which over looks the beach. I thought I should come on here and recommend it as we were the only ones there and people don't know what they are mis...

Hi If you have a look at the reviews page you'll find plenty of info on bars and restaurants. You really will be spoilt for choice though as Carvoeiro has so many lovely resaturants. As laserblazer said the larger supermarkets are all out of town and if you plan to be eating in quite a bit then you ...

I'd recommend the restaurants at Monte Carvoeiro. My 6 year old loves going there to eat and she always makes a friend to run around and play with. There is a choice of stone steak, traditional portuguese and Indian , and a couple of family friendly bars. Luis and Katiya at the cocktail garden are p...
