We were out last Christmas and the weather was lovely. Felt a bit silly in my Christmas present Ugg boots - the waitress at Rascals was in flip flops! Had Christmas Eve at Villa Medici which was fabulous

Good to hear as it's always been one of our favourites and we are going there for dinner tonight

Husband's birthday yesterday and we celebrated at this restaurant last night with our three children. Everything about it was absolutely fabulous - a big thank you to those on the forum who have suggested Bella Vita as a place to go for a special occasion

Came out yesterday and sitting by our pool at the moment it's 32 degrees

We go to this restaurant a lot and while I agree that service isn't exactly the best, the food has always been fabulous

This story has just been on GMTV with interviews with bar owner and a gentleman who was only watching the rugby and got caught up in it all. Portuguese Embassy in London issued a statement saying that it hoped this singular incident wouldn't put people off coming to Portugal

We were out half term week and it was definitely hotter than it was showing on some weather sites, easily mid 20's

Hi Licy, we came to Carvoeiro for the first time last May fell in love with the place so much so we completed on a villa in Vale de Milho by August and now try to get out there as much as we possibly can. From reading previous posts I think you are in Kingswood? We are just down the road in Chipstea...

We are in Surrey and CVO too!
