Re: Umbrella/Parasol
Hi
We bought a weighted cantilever parasol from CASA which is just next door to the Algarve Shopping Centre just off the 125 at Albufeira.
Seems okay so far.....

Re: Fiscal Representation
Appreciate I'm a bit late to the party on this. However, would people agree that, as the owner of a Portuguese property which is rented out, this constitutes a taxable activity and a Fiscal Representative is still required? Would be interested to see if that is consensus of opinion.
Thanks
Dan
Thanks

Re: Car hire
To be fair to Algarve Driver, I had the same issue as I had to amend the dates of my stay later this month. When I saw that the cost had increased, I contacted them and Steen kindly agreed to stand by the previously quoted rate.

Cleaning Costs
I'd greatly appreciate if anyone could provide feedback in respect of cleaning costs currently experienced in Carvoeiro. We have a 4 bed villa in Mato Serrao which we let out and is managed by an independent couple who we have used for some years. They source cleaners on our behalf and then charge b...

Re: Sesmarias
Hi Tim. We have a place in Mato Serrao which is roughly between Sesmarias and Carvoeiro. We've walked from ours to Ferragudo via Sesmarias and there are paths on the majority if not all of the route. I personally would be quite happy cycling on most of the roads in that general area and on the route...

Re: Covid - again !!
We returned to UK on Saturday having spent last 2.5 weeks in Carvoeiro. When we arrived we needed to show Vaccine confirmation and proof of negative test. The proof of vaccination is no longer required but you will still need to show proof of negative test (antigen is sufficient). They were not chec...

Re: Onze
Hi Dave
Yes we were out at a similar time to you and found that a few of our old favourites weren't open. That's the impact that our government's actions are having on the innocent Portuguese business owners. Very sad and depressing how insular our nation has become.

Re: Returning to Portugal?
Absolutely. How is the UK ever going to move forward when we're continually running scared? We're decimating not only our own travel industry but the lives of all those who depend on tourism in Portugal and all over the world! It is such an insular and selfish behaviour, I can honestly say that I'm ...

Does anyone know whether Onze is currently open? Have been trying to book a table for next Saturday evening but phone is just ringing out and we aren't due to arrive until Saturday morning.

Re: Taxes
Hi Sue
No we've not received anything and wondered if it was due to the change in status following departure from EU. We have appointed people to handle tax affairs so thought they may well have received correspondence but we've yet to hear from them either.

Re: Use of cash
We were out in July and cash is still widely accepted in restaurants and shops. To be honest, once you're in Carvoeiro there is very little noticeable difference apart from the fact that it is very quiet. You don't have the media generated hysteria that you unfortunately get all of the time in UK.
