If you are only allowing family to stay there then I would not consider it a commercial rental and just ask for a contribution to the running cost - if they are family you should be able to trust them to take care of the place and to chip in to the cost. For family it would never enter my mind to co...

We used this guy when we had a problem with a Junkers heater. Old school technician - efficient, inexpensive, didn't speak much english but woman in the shop did. I suspect he would cover many makes. Worth a call.

I should think this is something that might be affected by Brexit if you are UK based so it might be better to wait a couple of months.

If you got married at the church in Ferragudo there are excellent views outside and a great area for taking photos. You could then walk down the cobbled steps and paths down to one of the restaurants in town which between them offer all types of cuisine and price and which I'm sure would be pleased ...

It might help other parents if you named the rental firm. Also did you make your requirement clear at the time of booking?

Nowadays I find the restaurant reviews on Tripadvisor better as they are more searchable, have photos, direct links to maps, opening hours, links to the restaurants' websites and can be filtered. In addition more people can post to them. It's not a matter of apathy from members of this forum but rat...

For basics I'd say Aki (subdiary of Leroy Merlin) in Portimão which also has a Maxmat next door.

Another option can be some of the large chinese warehouses that are popping up in many locations - they seem to do handtools, sealants and electrical items.

Am I missing something here? It sounds as though you are over complicating things. Yes Paypal is a good way of receiving payments and it gives your renters options in how they can pay including credit/debit cards but whatever currency you invoice in if it differs to your renters normal currency than...

Ryanair is to start flights from Southend next summer. One of the routes announced is Southend to Faro - a route already operated by Easyjet so it will be straight competition.

We came back to UK Saturday morning. When we walked into the terminal they had stopped the escalator going up to the security area because the security area was full. When we did get up there once you got past the point where they first scan your boarding passes we were channelled into the normal ro...

The first time we tried to go here it was full which for a restaurant that had just opened seemed a good thing. We eventually went there this week and it was a lot quieter. It's in Ferragudo - see this forum's restaurant map. Totally vietnamese menu and style. All the staff are friendly and explain ...

Mr Cool did a good job for us - very professional and good value. We also went for inverter units in bedroomn & lounge - copes well and the heating in the winter is as much a benefit as the cooling in the summer.

You should be able to pay in any post office or alternatively via multibanco if you have a multibanco card.

Does anyone have a copy of their menu that they could post on here?

This could also be a prohibited substance. I agree there is plenty of paint better suited to Algarve climate.
