re sky: we have two boxes in england with two cards (pay an extra £12.00 per month) so
that we can watch different programmes in separate rooms. We have a villa in carvoeiro so
we are going to take one box and card there to see if it will work - if not we will just
bring it back to england. I expect we will have to find someone in carvoeiro to install a
receiver?? any suggestions

Myself & 1 other family are staying at the Vale de Milho complex in August. has
anyone any useful info on this.
Also what are the prices on the 9 hole course there and can children (aged 12)play it.
Presumably clubs can be hired too?

Probably the only way to get another box would be to find a friendly installer in the
UK and do it through him. You will already be a subscriber here and i don't think you can
be a subscriber twice. A friend of mine used his parents address and without actually
having anything installed but the card activated he took the digibox and card to Southern
Ireland. It all works perfectly but there is another subscription to pay.

Re Sky digiboxes - Some work better in Portugal than others. I had one Grundig model
which struggled but replaced it with another which works very well.
Dave Badrick of DNB Satellite Systems e-mail dnbsatsystem@ip.pt can tell you whether
your model is likely work wellin the Algarve.
The non- subscription card is a free card which gives you BBC1,2,5 ITV1 and Channel 4
plus afew othres like Eurosport. You get it from Sky but it has to be switched one by them
and it is obviously specific to an individual digibox so as far as I know you cannot have
a subscription card and a free card on the same box. I have two boxes.

Yvonne, We have stayed at Solferias hotel four years running and find it great. The
staff are very friendly, the place is nice, and your room is cleaned daily. Small pool to
the rear and a small friendly bar indoors (also serve on the patio). 10 mins walk to the
town and beach downhill, slightly longer coming back up the hill !! Taxi's are cheap
enough though if you feel too tired. We normally book direct with Solferias, which travel
company's brochure did you find it in ? DJ.

Jill,
I agree with the previous advice but it also depneds on where you are on ADM. If you at
the far end in the 20's it is quite a walk but if you are near the reception then you can
make town in 10 minutes or so.. depending on the heat!!

ADM is a ten 15 min walk into town depending on whereabouts you are staying.
A car though not essential is probably recommended for the better beaches or zoomarine,
krazy world, waterpark etc. Also time you pay for transport to and from Faro starts to
make even more sense.

Hi, visiting Carvoeiro this summer and staying in a villa on Areias dos Moinhos. Is
this a nice area and is there a bus route nearby to take you to the centre of Carvoeiro
and other towns? Is car hire going to be essential, or will a family of five find plenty
to do locally?
From Jill.

property prices are still on the rise in Carvoeiro due to a short supply of quality
villas and demand remaining reasonably high. The other important factor is that many Brits
are now betting on Euro entry which almost certainly means sterling has to devalue against
the euro thus they are buying euro assets. This is different to the situation we had in
the run up to the demise of the legacy. currencies, when many north Europeans were forced
to find a home for their 'cash', and duly bought up property in Spain and Portugal rather
than declare and convert it into a euro bank account.

Just come back from 4 wonderful days in Carvoeiro again. Brilliant sunshine al the
time!
We stayed at Vila Mirante which is a first class place to stay.
A big thank you to Maria and her family who made me and my daughter so welcome. The
accomodation is first class with a beautiful pool. We had it all to ourselves as no-one
was in the other apartment!
They have 2 apts (1x1 bed and 1 x 2 bed). Absolutely perfect for friends and family to
holiday together but have separate accomodation with no-one else to bother you!
I'm not sure if I should tell everyone how lovely it is as it may get booked up!!
O'Cantinho meal was fantastic, so can recommend them. Also can report that the ice
cream and crepes are still the best. It's the only way to end a meal as far as we're
concerned!! We never have desserts in the restaurants, we walk to the ice cream shop
instead!!
Hope to come back soon - if I can get cheap GO flights again !!
Missing Carvoeiro already! Jo & Tasha

Sesmarias is isolated. The bars are very 'local' full of seasoned drinkers rather than
tourists. The supermarket is very basic and small. There are no restaurants in the village
to eat in. A car is essential.

G'day - can anybody out there help me locate somewhere to hire a speed boat (nothing
fancy) my son has associated a go in a speed boat with going on holiday, alternatively a
"sedate" sea fishing trip suitable for a 3yr old.
Many thanks

RE:Estrela do Mar ( sea star.)
This is a diferent one. The one I refer to is in QDP and is a Villa. The one you talk
about is I think on the road up from town almost opposite the Monte reception. Quite a
good spot if it is!

RE:Estrela do Mar ( sea star.)Yes it must be the one, right on the road to Monte
Carvoeiro development, and faces the Ocean and ha a small cove below, with about 100 steps
to get to the beach, called Paraíso.

Hi: Does anyone know the road called R.do Paradiso, I think it is on the right hand
side of the swuare as you look at the beach and it is a quite steep and hilly? I have
booked an apartment in a house owned by Gina Oliveira and it is called V ESTRELD do MAR,
for 2 weeks in September. I came to the village 6 years ago and wrote down the name of
this house, so I am hoping it is the same place we are coming to in September (I hope so).
Any information would be much appreciated. By the way the house is on the left hand side
of this road. Thanks to everyone and I love the web site very much. Mary.

Hi, how far is the hypermarket from the centre of town? We have no drivers in our party
and I'm wondering if the prices are cheap enough to justify taxi shopping trips? thank you
for any info. Vicky
We've just got two weeks, two days left to wait.
