CVO would not be CVO if you were to leave and find pastures anew
However we all wish you luck on what you have in mind for your future, happiness and well being

Hi I only have contents insurance as the owner is paying the building insurance. I tried getting insurance from uk but could not find anyone to do it I got hold of Abbeygate who seemed fine but then failed to email me the particulars. Looked online and found Ibex in Almancil and they are delightful,...

We booked thru Carvoiro Sol hotel and all went well, fab day out on the pirate ship and in and out of the caves in the small boat too.xx

Hope it does take off as it is such a good idea especially run from Taste, a good place to meet up. Anyone out in CVO could also consider setting up a U3A site and run lots of groups under the umbrella, different people doing the different groups and those indoor based I am sure Taste would help as ...

Had 2 visits this weekend to IKEA purely for a deco. Ended up returning and getting curtains, poles, attachments and a duvet set of duvet, pillow cases and a base sheet. Note, pillow cases are smaller than UK size, so looks weird with a UK sized pillow stuffed into it. Liked IKEA, well spaced out, f...

Just looked on trip advisor re guests comments etc and it seems people have made 'stayed' comments since Dec 2016, so unsure on reality .

Friends went the day it opened and said tis ok, but not such a good selection of items that are in the UK and they do not deliver anything from the UK, which seems to be the same for most other companies now from the UK, no Argos etc. Some of the companies use a 3rd party for delivery but the hike u...

Go to any cafe/restaurant and you will meet loads of people and start chatting and find out what and wher...

Hiya Many thanks . That was great info re Sasha your cat and the car. I am not sure I trust Ollie that much letting him roam about the car,especially as it will be stuffed to the gunnels with all the stuff we are taking back to the UK, he would probably bury himself amongst it all and get stuck, the...

I cannot comment on a car, as Richard brought me over in the car and then went back by ferry with the car on the 1 st Jan. I am here with no car as I do not drive. Richard will be returning by air 4 times over the next 6 months to me here and hiring a car each time, needs it for golf !!!!! He is sti...

They say under a tourist guide one has up to 183 days They have said I can be here up to 183 days then if really wanted to be here longer or to be correct do a fiscal and registration. All this info is usefull when it is all c...

Mega thanks As usual the GOV.web site is as helful as ever and me being so dumb I could not work it out at all. I think not having a fiscal number and informing the local govt here may be a prolem too Trying to do it all under the radar so to speak in order to see if I actually would/ could live out...
