Re: Crazy Golf/Mini Golf

Roma - now called Family Golf - was good fun but expensive IMHO.

Two games for 3Ads and child (10 y-o) was 55E. Adult prices start at 11 years +

Re: Just back!

We visited Villamoura also - and it was quiet also.

I think it is likely the entire Euro zone may be suffering from fewer and lower spending UK visitors. Clearly, the recession is biting every where also.

Just back!

Just back yesterday from 12 nights in CVO - missing the sunshine/heat already! :cry: We'd a lovely villa (Casa Camaleao) up by the old windmill/Collina Village area. Gorgeous villa, well-equipped and an awesome heated 10mx5m pool. Ready supply of oranges, lemons, limes and pears in the garden also. ...

Rentals

Folks,

Can anyone explain what dates the low, med, high and peak seasons cover? I cannot see this anywhere.

Thanks

I've used holidayautos.co.uk for previous visits to CVO and will use again later this year.

Both cheap and reliable - I would recommend them

Re: The pound rallies against the Euro

The UK banks - especially Barclays - will do well from the stress tests. Lloyds will fair worst of all.

I think the £ should get a boost from this news this week.

Edit - meant to add that someone I know says they were getting 1.21 from the ATMs in the Algarve last week :D

Re: Quiet??

We're back in CVO (hopefully) in October - flights booked/accomm isn't. We haven't been since 2006. I am expecting increases - it is four years on after all - but some posts are making me think of another resort/town to avoid expensive eateries also. I have also seen - in my opinion - some unrealist...

Re: Portugal: best value for holidays

Some of the comments re costs on CVO are making me consider another resort tbh.

We were last in CVO in October 2006 .. and I'm fearing prices might be a shock! :(

Re: Colina da Lapa - Just Back

I won a fully expensed week to CdL (for 4 - apartment) in 2004 - it was superb, and we returned in 2005 (to the Villas). I would highly recommend it - as I did to the OP. It is immaculate, and the accommodation is very spacious. Definitely worth considering IMHO. I think it was top resort in CVO in ...
