Roundy,
You could try Vale de Milho - it is a 9 hole par 3 - very relaxing.
Nice clubhouse too, for a spot of lunch and well earned drinks!

We got the train from Silves station last June - it connected with the train to Lisbon at Tunes. Booked the ticket on the internet, which reserved a numbered seat on the Lisbon train. The best station to get off in Lisbon is 'Entrecampos', as it is only a short taxi ride to the centre of Lisbon from...

I Agree !


1) Ele and Ela

4) La Bella Vita
5) O Farol (Rocha Brava)

and I never miss A Gale ! - good simple and inexpensive

But everyone to their own tastes !

As another Irishman who will be in CVO next week, I would love to know whats going on there on March 17 - but I'm sure I'll find some fun!
CVO after dark is no problem - but CVO after taxis leaves me with a long walk - but I did fall into bad (for bad read good!) company

Fred,
I'm not in CVO, but am looking in from Dublin.
I assume it is the CVO version of 'Mardi Gras' - but I may be corrected by someone who is there!

Be careful - flights to Seville may be a little cheaper, but you may have to pay a supplement/additional insurance for car hire if taking car out of Spain- so flying to Lisbon may be cheaper overall !!

Cains, Maybe I am biased, but in my opinion Casa Nika is a great location - I stayed there before I decided to buy a property in Pedra Grande. Complex is generally quiet and well managed.There is a very nice pool, and your property has 2 bedrooms ,one bath and one shower room, with a big roof terrac...

Would recommend Brasserie Marinha - any day - and opens on Sundays.

Another favourite is Ele and Ela - but do not know if it opens Sundays

Dalcassian, No problem hiring car ,if you have full Irish licence. I would reccommend visiting Silves , Lagos and Monchique , which are all within 30 mins drive from CVO. Agree about Almansor - stayed there a number of occasions, before buying our own place last year - and always had a great time, a...
