re Mirachoro, finished and looks impressive, unless your on the 3rd floor views not
great, try and call the hotel "direct" and negogiate a top floor! Restaraunt i
belive is non existant evening wise but might be ok for breakfast, bar area last year
sparse and unexciting! Pool area very good, but who needs a pool with all the beaches
nearby, also has a pool bar but not open when we went. Hope this helps. Overall, not a bad
place at all unless you eat a lot. Mike Chislehurst

Sharon, unless it's improved big time the supamarket on ADM is rubbish, however there
is one about 15 mins walk or 2 mins in a car very nearby, also has it's own bakery. ADM is
one of the closest "estates" to the village so car not necessary but to be
honest I would book one from the airport but book via the web "much cheaper than the
UK" Carjet.com and amoita.com are very good and no loading everything into a transit
at the airport. Enjoy your stay, be hard not to.

Areis Dos Moinhos is close enough to town not to need a car - it is about 15 minutes
walk to the Market Municipal and the many small supermarkets. There is also a small Ali
Super - the Portugal equivalent of Alldays in the UK, on the Moinhos development that has
basic provisions.
I am not however famililar with the the villa you have rented.

To the person looking for wooden second hand furniture, I would recommend AlexDecor
just outside of Lagoa toward Silves. They deal in antique second hand furniture from
Holland. It is top quality and reasonably priced as well.
You can contact them by e-mail at Alexdecor@clix.pt
I do not have their phone #, but I know that one of the owners also happens to be the
head chef at Laterna Velha, so you should be able to get more information there.

To person asking about golf and courses where a family can have fun - I'd recommend the
Vale de Milho just on the edge of Carvoeiro. I don't have a handicap so I'm limited on
where I can play. This golf course doesn't require one. I've been going to Carvoeiro very
regularly for several years and I always play there and I don't tire of it. It's a great
little course, picturesque and has a nice clubhouse overlooking the course.

Thanks again Steen for your great web-site and enjoyed your ice cream treats on a daily

the coments about bubbles bar are defenitely true the place is nice but the management
should learn about costumers relations or be a litle bit more friendly to costumers, it's
the type of place that you go there once and you don't want go back. the manager or the
owner should retire or do something else that don't involve dealing with public.

Re.:bank account
You can also get your tax number (número fiscal) yourself at the finances (ie in
Lagoa), you fill out a form for your deeds that's in Portuguese and English. You will have
to fill in an adress in Portugal. They are very helpful, not worth getting a sollicitor
only for this, because it'll take you 5 minutes.

Sue,
I've been in Carvoeiro Feb, July, Sept and October and never had bad weather yet. They
were all fantastic sunny days -yes even feb!
I'm arriving on Monday for a few days and can't wait! I hope now I've said the weather
is always good I haven't put a curse on it!!
The long range forecast is saying cloudy next week. Let's hope it's over Albufeira or
somewhere else and not Carvoeiro!!!!!!!!!
Shine sun shine!! Roll on Monday!

Hello Barry the Wood- Nice to hear from you again.With regard to the fact that you want
a hand to start digging please have a thought before you start. We all know why you want
to start digging but really she was not all that attractive in fact a bit ugly, a bit of a
let down in alot of cases, no class, dirty and scruffy, ,and the way her back end used to
droop turned many a head and was knocked around a bit (I expect that was down to you)Yes I
can understand that she was close to you and how sentimental you must have felt leaving
her that way but leave her in peace. Who wants a lousy old citroen anyway??

To the couple getting married in Carvoeiro, what a wonderful idea. Can't help with the

Re car hire, try Amoita.com or carjet.com who are both very reasonable. Both have the
cars parked outside without the need to hump your luggage onto a transit which takes you
to the car pound. Carjet are only using Budget cars this year. Both only use cars under 12
months old. Hope this helps

be great (and any one who don`t!) If you need any decorating works or odd jobs please

To Dee
There are several car hire offices in Carvoeiro village, or you can hire at Faro
airport. All the major car hire companies are just outside the terminal building. As you
come out of arrivals, turn right and leave the terminal building by the doors at the end,
follow the path and you will see the car hire offices. We always book in advance to be
sure of a vehicle either direct with Avis, Hertz, Alamo etc or through Holiday Autos or
similar.
As for fresh fruit and vegetables, there is an Intermarche hypermarket on the road into
Carvoeiro which opens every day (Sundays until 1pm). There is a covered market near the
centre of the village, go up Estrada do Farol (the road heading towards Rocha Brava -
Smilers and the Carvoeiro Sol hotel on the corners) and turn left at Xico Ze restaurant
roughly half way up the hill on your left. The market is on the right and closes around
2pm.
Enjoy your holiday

I will be visiting Carvoeiro with my partner, 3 kids and another family of 4. We've
rented a 5 bed villa near a Tennis club? I've never been there before, can anyone advise a
good place to hire a vehicle (large if possible) and where to get fresh meat, veg and
things like that? Thanks Dee

The picture framing shop is open and doing very well. I had a painting framed by them
and they did a superb job.
