Car Rental:
The local taxi services are excellent but you ideally need a car for this part of the Algarve. I am happy to recommend some local discount car rental agencies who offer rates substantially lower than the name brand rental agencies. The local agents are happy to have the car available at the Airport, or, sometimes a better option, to deliver it to you at the Villa. This means you can take a taxi to the villa, avoiding the initial hassle in finding it until you familiarise yourself with the area.
Welcome Pack:
We have a welcome pack with all the obvious information for visitors such as maps, golf guides, directions to supermarkets, convenience stores and shopping malls, information on how to use our broadband connection for your own laptop, visitor guides, etc.
We are also happy to provide a complementary welcome 'hamper' with some basic food, drinks and some Portuguese wine.
If there is anything else you would like us to provide please ask !.
Other discounts:
I am happy to recommend how to get access to discounts on golf green fees and on the many other sport and leisure facilities available locally.
