As we are [still] hoping to retire to Carvoeiro in a few months time I wonder if anyone could advise us regarding private health insurance in Portugal.

I use a company which specialize in providing insurance for ex-pats in Spain and Portugal. They are called Exeter, far cheaper than BUPA. I will post contact details for them. The premium you pay on joining does not rise with age.
