Shop up at Monte CVO

Last year an English couple ran a little mini-market in the 'old' golf shop up at Monte CVO, near Mamma Mias - can't remember their names.

It was v handy for the week or so we were there, esp as AliSuper had shut a year or so before - Is it still open?

There is also a nice cafe opened on the roundabout at Monte CVO, it also sells some interesting gifts
worth a look or a stop off on the way into town

Is that the one right at the top of the hill on the bend - was shut for about 4 years? Used to be a gift shop and sell ice creams years ago if i remember rightly

I always thought that one had potential selling ice creams and drinks to people who had just made it up the hill. :)

I think a good stock of Beta blockers would probably sell better. :(

:) :) :) :) Know what you mean. Not as bad as the hike up past Jail House, nothing up there to look forward to.

yes the shop is still there, and they have opened a new cafe and bar in the square next to the jazz bar.

Does that mean one of the Stone Steak places has gone? - the jazz bar is between the Cocktail Garden and Fernados.

I shall investigate soon (whilst drinking one of Tricky's many many many beers she must owe me by now :lol: :lol: :lol: ).
