Re: SESMARIAS - Donato's Italiana

Do you mean O Leão en Porches, Graham? One of my favourites, a bit on the pricey side but worth it for a special occasion - we have eaten outside on the terrace, and inside - both very nice

I think Oasis open early - around 6pm?

Re: Monte Santo Resort

I live near monte santo year round and would rather have open countryside than this development any day. I don't know who you've been talking to locally, but it certainly wasn't me or any of my neighbours (a mixture of nationalities inc Portuguese - in fact we're the only British, permanent resident...

Re: Monte Santo Resort

. With a little bit of luck, Kteee won't even be able to see it :? Let's hope so, although who knows if we'll still be here then, all the construction may have driven us to a more rural location Interestingly I was sitting tonight on the balcony of Xico Se restaurant (lovely setting, very average f...

Re: Monte Santo Resort

If you go up the hill past the Sullys and the ice cream shop, past Monte Carvoeiro, then past Quinta do Paraiso on the left, the next development on the left is Hibiscus Gardens, and the back of Monte Santo is next on the left For the front entrance of Monte Santo, carry on past Vila Nova on the lef...

Re: Monte Santo Resort

I was very surprised that planning permission was given for both Monte Santo and Hibiscus Gardens, I find them both very unattractive, and overpriced for the area, but if the owners who have bought there are happy with their decision, that's fine. I would have preferred something more aesthetically ...

Re: ATMs & Credit Cards

I think it's 200€ per card per day, so if you have two cards on a joint account you should be able to withdraw double the amount

Actually I've felt it unusually cool for June, until the last few days. I usually find June can be hotter than the end of august

Re: Access to Pools

Yes, it's heated - about 28º No medical cert needed Yes you need a hat and flip flops If you pay for multiple sessions in advance it's even cheaper (I think you get 15 sessions for the price of 10) and there are discounts for children/over 65s I don't know if it opens in the summer as I only need it...

Re: Access to Pools

It's ok I can use my own pool for the next few months now - after that I'll go back to Lagoa municipal pool (provided I'm able to drive by then), only 2 euros per session

Re: ROCK FESTIVAL at PARC ALGARVE

I'd be careful of taking newspaper headlines as gospel - the article states the meeting was held in several languages including Portuguese Just because it's there doesn't mean I have to rejoice - and it doesn't mean they will see any of my money I feel sorry for the people who have lived in the area...

Re: ROCK FESTIVAL at PARC ALGARVE

It's a pity it has to be at the expense of people who chose to live in a quiet area, far from the hustle and bustle of the tourist areas Those of us who have chosen to live fairly close to the centre of carvoeiro or any other busy resort, can't complain about music (we can hear the bands playing at ...
