Feb, hmmm. Pack warm water proof clothes, but also some lighter clothes, the weather can be lovely and sunny or wet and cold. Feb like Nov are strange months, this year we've had a wonderful November, last year it poured almost everyday!! Tivoli Almansor is good I have heard, never stayde there myself. Eating out will be limited but I'm sure you'll find something you like! Hope this helps a bit!

Very pleasant staff at Tivoli Almansor, great guys behind the bar, Tony Jr. a bit of a miss, and avoid at all costs the Almansor buffet at night.

Maybe O Stop will be reopened for the season. Praia Centiannes Beach, really family atmosphere and great folk there. Its just down the road from Tivoli, or with a walk south on the cliff line.

I like Via Italia too. Always been welcome with wide arms.

Hiya
Re Via Italia, its on restaurant hill, on the left on a mini hill if you are going out of CVO. Very nice but busy, and have to say last time we visited it took nearly an hour to get a menu and the same to receive the food, if we hadn't got hungry, tired children with us, we would've walked out, but perhaps it was an unusal night, my advice, go early.

Tricky,

Sorry to hear your story. I have never experienced this in all my 20+ visits to the resto since Fall '97.

Hello, I heard El & Ela will open in feb. again. Nice food, nice people and you can go to Happy's that will be open than. I thought O Stop will open again in march, but I am not sure of that. You can go to Colina Village, there will be restaurants open.
