Cheers

I am visiting for the first time on Sunday 6 July will let you know my thoughts on my return.

[quote="cheiftainmk2" Fresh squid cooked correctly is never chewy. It is lovely. Cheiftain, it was through an unfortunate experience that I went off squid....I had a takeaway (in Lagoa) of a fish kebab and all was okay until I chewed on something 'rubbery'...when I looked it was 'suckers' on a piec...

Ill eat anything thats nicely cooked (except tripe or kidneys yuck) :P and I do my own version of 'fusion' food, ask my mate Tricky! Im just off to Boston market and where we park is near the Ostrich meat stall..anyone like that? Supposed to be good cos its low in cholesterol(or something)... I had...

Don't be disheartened at all. You're in a fab place. It's only a short drive to CVO and if you're worrying about nights out then it won't cost much in a taxi. When I first visited Carvoeiro I stayed in the same area and it's no problem at all. You are in a fab location for beaches, there are numero...

:lol: It is about a 10 - 15 min drive to Carvoeiro but we like it as in the summer it is nice and quiet and not all touristy, we use cvo for the evenings sometimes as I love to sit outside of Colombo's bar and watch the world go by. You will find you are nicely situated for the N125 and the shoppin...

As redwinegirl says, you have to go through the traffic lights at the Internation Scool as you can't go across the road, down to the turning for the school (next right) and then left at the traffic lights to go back to t...

Your best bet is to ring the tour company and get the exact address of the villa and make sure they tell you the road name as well (Road in Portuguese is rua) then we can all help a little more. Have e-mailed them Thomson, I have instructions of how to get there but they are as clear as mud, Contin...

If your location is on the Vale Centiannes road, there is an Italian Restaurant by the turn up the hill (Mona Lisa) not bad. There are a couple of restaurants in the shopping area at the top of the hill. One a pizza place (Pizza Napoli) which my kids say is OK....Ill take their word for it. There i...

Thank you, I looked at that prior to asking I need directions once I have reached Carvoeiro.

Thank you but which is the Centiane Beach approach road.

Villa Vitoria, I am booked in with my good lady for 2 weeks in July 2008 at the Villa Vitoria. A semi detached villa with pool on the outskirts of Carvoeiro, Can anyone tell me precisely where it is, also the nearest supemarket, bar, restaurants. Also the route from Faro Airport, Many thanks in anti...
