Eating in or out:
From a self-catering point of view, the townhouse provides all you could need to enjoy a completely relaxing break. The Algarve, however, is also renowned for its good food, particularly fresh fish and seafood. From beachside restaurants in Praia da Luz, to several top quality restaurants in/around Bergau (including Restaurant Ancora - one of the top 10 restaurants in Portugal). Or try the lovely old town of Lagos with its beautiful marina and restaurants, excellent shopping and a more vibrant nightlife for those who want it.
How to get there::
Fly to Faro. You can pre-arrange car hire for collection at and return to the airport (Hertz number available on request); the journey to Lagos is simple, by motorway - now complete to Lagos(50 mins drive). Alternatively you can take a taxi (approx. £50 each way) or, more economically, train from Faro to Lagos (£5) and a short taxi ride to Porto dona Maria.
Alternatively, fly to Lisbon. Lisbon to Porto dona Maria is about 3 hours drive time (door to door).
