just to let every one know the best place to eat in carvoeiro is vilmar restaurant at
the top of the hill opposite the turning 4 algar seco. Give it a try the staff are very
good and give good service. A lot of local people eat there and that is always a good sign

Re install Sky, Aaron Philips installed ours in December (digital)and did a very good
job including dish. We opted for the free to air card which you get from the BBC but
includes BBC 1,2,ITV1,2,Channel 4 and 5 Sky news and other odds and sods. He's based in
the village 282 357843. You might be a bit late for the world cup though!

of course you can use your mobile in carvoeiro, as far i'm concern portugal is in
europe, and not a third world country, and the person who comment about silves '' stay
there and look for a silves.com website if you don't like carvoeiro''. there are quiet a
few good places where you can get pissed and enjoy with the staff depends on everyone's
opinion (smillers, sully's, flic-flac, lsd, jail-house, ) not ot mention restaurants that
the staff is very friendly.

i realise all the tourists think carvoeiro is wonderful, but im afraid it like much of
the algarve over built. it is hard to throw a stone and not see it go across someones
villa. it is not until u move inland to silves or messines can you find somewhre where
mass tourism has not taken over. having lived here for 12 years i avoid it like the

''A BONECA RESTAURANT'' in algar-seco is a nice place to eat and CABECK the waiter will
look after you speacially if you have kids, and JORGE the owner is a friendly guy too and
the food is really good too, they have fresh fish everyday.

I personally don't have any problem with camping vans, Carvoeiro doesn't have a camping
site the nearest are Albufeira, Armação de Pera; Alvor and Ferragudo. I hope you have a
nice camping holiday, and don't take any notice of a few silly people who need to get out
and about to find out what life is really like!!!!

Hi,
I'm staying at the Rocha Brava for 2 weeks from 19th May with my family 2 small kids 4
and 2 plus my brother hos wife and 2 year old.
Can anybody suggest any child entertaining activities I've heard zoo marine is good.
Are there any water parks suitable for little kids? We will have cars and so can travel a
little. Nice beach information also appreciated. My brother also enjoys walks in the
countryside and wildlife has anybody tried this and if so could you please suggest some
places he could try or any advice on the subject.
Also can anyone suggest where the adults early 30's but still not too old to club,
might find some good entertaintment (nice or lively restaurants and clubs) Any information
would be appreciated, especially places to avoid.
Thanks in advance.

Carvoeiro certainly does not match any of the places for night club centre of Europe,
and please let it stay that way, not that it hasn't got a good night life - but not on the
scale of Ayia Napa, Magaluf and Kavos.

Re eating; There is a good place to eat on the road to Benagil called Solmar or Solemar
I'm not sure, it's on the left up a little track there is a menu on the road so you won't
miss it, on the left going towards Benagil. They are also very good for fresh fish as the
owner is friendly with several fisherman. Try Casa Algarvia in Carvoeiro for a special and
different lunch or dinner, they are very friendly

Deary me, seems that there are some snobs on here. People, you need to chill and be
happy. Re: Camperbus....Algarve is absolutely IDEAL for a camper as there are so many
places to explore. I dont know whether you want to pitch in a beach carpark or check into
a campsite but you will not be dissapointed whichever way you go. As for the gentlemens
clubs...check out Adega on the main road up the hill from the beach. Its a bit pricy
drinks wise but is fairly relaxed.
I personally dont see anything wrong with wanting a 'boys' night out whilst on
holiday...gentelmans clubs are hardly the seedy drug fuelled dens of old.
Fill ya boots fellas :-)

To the person who was looking for really nice seafood restaurants, I recommend Rui in
Silves. You will need a car to get there but the food is out of this world although a bit
pricier than anywhere else.
I'm coming over again in July (been coming to Carvoeiro for ever) and I can't wait!

the only night club in carvoeiro is ''O BOTE'' and you'll be lucky to find 20 people in
there on a good nite, your best bet is to get a taxi and go to ''PRAIA DA ROCHA'' or

Another typically Portuguese family run restaurant is "O Algar" in Benagil.
Their speciality is fresh- and I mean fresh - fish. The kitchen can be seen from the
dining area, and it is all spotless.It is extremely popular and Carlos and his staff are
very friendly and helpful. Booking is strongly advised. Can't wait to get back!! Elaine

Good food!!!!
Try Jardim do Farol up next to the lighthouse don't forget to book!!! O Cantinho is
good for steaks, try bife na tabua mmmmmm. A Marisqueira, up the hill next to the new
hotel, is good for an inexpensive lunch. For a special night out try Julio's near Rocha
Brava, a little more expensive but worth it. For something "tipico" try O ciclo
in Lagoa, near the Caixa Agricola bank or O Lotus next to the petrol station

Carvoeiro is a cool place altho if u stay in the flinstones apartments beware of the
cleaners, they are pretty mad and there only aim is to get you to SCHLEEEEP! so becareful.
also be aware of the rapist man at restaurant rede, he tries and grabs young girls and
takes them into his restaurant with heavy force, but its ok cos if there is 2 of your he
has a friend, so no 1's left out! if u look young and have no chance of going out in
england the bote club on the beach is the place to go, whether u r 4 or 44 u can get in
with only a charge of £3! COOL. 1 more thing, dont be fooled by all of the look - a -

I would be most grateful for some recomendations for some really top restaurants,
especially fish and seafood! Somewhere that also has a good selection of wines. Also a
suggestion of a really good 'typical' family run Portugese restaurant.
Also I would like to know if there are any other sites with a good map of Carveiro!!!

Looks like bad weather over Portugal/Spain although the weather cam doesn't say there's
been rain!
I've stayed there Feb/April/July/Sept/Oct and NEVER (yes really!)had bad weather!
Was last in Carvoeiro Apr 15th for 4 days and the weather was GLORIOUS! To answer the
question about May weather, it would normally be good, but there are some strange weather
systems around Europe making nothing normal at the moment. In England we are experiencing
all 4 seasons in one day! (nothing unusual about that!)
Hope the sun shines for all of you. Hello to vilamirante, hope to be back soon!

Colina de Lapa Bar:
There is a Restaurant/bar open during the evening and a pool side bar open during the
day. They are a bit expensive in comparison to bars in town. (House wine ~£5 bottle, beer
#£1 bottle).
I was there last week and on a Friday night they were running a BBQ that cost 17 euros
per adult and that included all food and beer/wine/pop you could drink and entertainment
that was a young lad playing an organ followed by a bit of Karioke. We enjoyed it.
Also, on a few other nights there were 2 young girls providing entertainment by way of
a few songs.
My recommendation to you would be do the BBQ (good value) and to go buy yourslef a
couple a bottles of wine and Superbok down the supermarket (Good wine around £2 bottle,
beer about 30p a bottle) and enjoy them in the comfort of your own villa.
have fun!

Hello all you people. It is nice to see that so many people are interrested in the
coolest town on earth. Haven´t been down there for ages but I can still remember how it
is to be in Joker´s ( RIP ) with Ilse. Or in LSD ( COOL ). Those were good times. Does
anybody know where and what ilse is doing nowerdays I would like to know since I haven´t
seen her in a very long time. I know the Algarve has changed over the years but I still
think it has some potential. All the people have to do is get a grip and work hard. So,
greetings to the biggest small town on earth. From BIG Ben.

I am coming to Carvoeiro in September and we have booked an apartment in a house called
V ESTRELD do MAR on the R.do.Paradiso. The house is owned by Gina Oliverira who lives at
Rua do Casino No.38 Praia do Carvoeiro. Does anybody know the lady, only we have
difficulty communicating with her as she does not speak much English, and she is not very
good at replying to letters. I have her telephone number but when I phone her she cannot
understand me. I would appreciate any help anybody out there can give me. E mail
yates&robins-nest43.fsnet.co.uk. Thank you. MARY

I am looking for the name of a block of appartments we stayed in Sep 1996. They were
entered using a lift from the main street into carvoeira (conveniently opposite a bank
cash machine!). There were 2 communal pools - 1 was a shallow round pool for kids. The
apparments were beautiful and on 2 floors. There were 2 bedrooms, a balcony and a large
terrace for BBQs etc. I would really love to go back but cannot find this accommodation
anywhere! Please help! From Alex

Mummies and Daddies, Aunties and Uncles, Grandmas and Grandpas please be careful of the
sun, every year I send this warning out, hopefully someone takes notice. Don't forget the
sun cream for your children, they have VERY sensitive skin. Even on dull cloudy days the
sun is very hot and can burn. There is nothing worse than having to look at sun burnt
children, and you know what?? IT'S YOUR FAULT WHEN IT HAPPENS

Webmaster ..
I know this won't enhance anyone's internet experience too much !! but .......
Could the list of previous messages start from the most recent page first? You have to
scroll down to the bottom at present and as most of us will probably be looking for the
most recent rather than back in the good old days (?!)it would be much easier!
Ta ever so! Jo
PS: The sun's actually shining here today, but for some reason it's not the same as in

Re sky I have a box in uk and one in town. email me brian.long@makofutures.com
I'll put you in touch with the guy in Carvoeiro who sorted this out for me.
Re Vale Do Milho. Played for the 1st time last week, think it was 30 euros. You can
hire clubs, not sure if kids allowed to play. Suitable clothing required, took about 2
hours for 18 holes.
Tel 282 358 502 for info.

Colina de Lapa,
Just got back having spent 2 weeks there. There is a Restaurant on site which is a
little bit expensive but not bad. The staff was great with our 2-year-old and they had a
high chair. Colina de Lapa is a fair way from the centre of Caroeiro and you certainly
couldnt walk it. Return taxi there cost 12 Euro (about £8). There were no restaurants
worth visiting near to Colina de lapa so town centre is the best option. Also, there is a
good place on the nearby Centianes beach (5 mins drive away and you get to eat your dinner
while watching the waves lap onto the beach) which does good fish and they also were great
with children. We also ate at Romas, which is on the road to Benagil (about 10 mins in the
car) and they had a childrens club/minder to look after the little ones while you eat, the
food was good and prices reasonable.
I recommend a car, youll need one staying in Colina de lapa because its in quite
an isolated area.
Another point is that if you are staying in one of the 2 bed villas they are on 2
levels and the stairs is marble and quite wide. They have no stair gates available and so
it is a little bit dangerous if you have a young one.
Also, youll be pleased to hear that the complex and the accommodation are
stunning. The kitchen is fully fitted out with washing machine, coffee maker,
juicer, full cooker, microwave, fridge freezer, blender kettle, dish washer etc. etc. so
if you want you can eat in without having to compromise at all. The gardens were
immaculate and the place is brand new.
If you need car hire Id have a look at http://www.all-inclusive-car-hire.com/faro-airport/index.shtml.
Have a nice holiday!!
AC

RE: THE PERSON WITH 2 SKY BOXES, I DON'T THINK YOUR 2ND BOX WILL WORK IN CARVOEIRO AS
IT IS CONNECTED THROUGH A CABLE IN YOUR HOUSE FROM THE 1ST BOX.
I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, WE NOW HAVE CHANGED AND SUBSCRIBE TO NTL IN ENGLAND, AND HAVE
KEPT OUR SUBSCRIPTION TO SKY DIGITAL, AND HAVE TAKEN OUR SKY DIGITAL BOX TO CARVOEIRO. ITS
MORE EXPHENSIVE, BUT ITS THE ONLY WAY I THINK.
