Re: Paulo formerly of Casa Algarvia

Hi, where exactly is this please? We've been away from Algarve for 5 years but returning for a holiday this forthcoming weekend (of wetness, it seems!) :(

Re: Travelling out this weekend....

Re: Carvoeiro Person of the Year

I vote for Claudia, of Vernons. Nothing is ever too much trouble for her and she's one of the most efficient people I've met in Portugal. Not only that, but her cheerful personality is a delight!

Early September Rental Wanted

Hi, looking for a villa with own heated pool (health reasons). Only for the two of us so only really need 1 bedroom, however, realistically know that most villas are bigger than this, so the only consideration we have is price. Please pm any availability for first week in September. Thank you.

Re: Suggestion Box Praia do Carvoeiro
