Re: Elle & Ela closed
Having taken a peek at some of the asking prices for shop / restaurant premises/leases over the last couple of years it amazes me how any of them manage to make ends meet.

Re: Elle & Ela closed
I do hope they find another venue as it was my favourite place. Not everyone’s cup of tea, but I liked the fact it was cosy and buzzy. Seems rather sudden and odd re the lease though?

Wanted Small Apt or Villa within walking distance of Village
As a regular visitor to CVO for the last 15 years or so I find myself tasked with trying to find a smaller apartment or town house, villa to rent for a week in June and a week in September 2016. I normally stay in a villa in Sesmarias on Presa Du Moura development which is beautiful and I may well g...

Looks like I will have to cover myself in Deet for a fortnight!

Re: Counterpart Driving Licence
Any one had any bother renting recently without the palaver of generating this newfangled code thingy.
After all this is Portugal.
Paper copy and Counterpart aren't going to be refused Shirley.

Re: Villa Medici
It's a funny old world! We went to Villa Medici last night and had a wonderful evening. Even though the place was full we had charming, attentive and very efficient staff looking after us, and a lovely meal cooked to perfection. We have been going there regularly since it opened and have never had ...

Re: Villa Medici

Re: Onze
We went last year and it was exactly the same.The waiting was unnacceptable,the food was above average but not worth the wait. There was no flow to the evening and everyone around was talking about the poor service etc rather than just ejoying the restaurant and its surroundings/setting which is a s...
