Edinburgh to Faro direct and return is good - no flight changes. Faro airport under reconstruction following storm damage, so a little time consumming to find the hire car place. However drive to Lagos (1 1/4 hrs) was pleasant and steady and lovely views. Apartment block is walking distance from Pingo Doce, the supermarket. Prices good particularly the lovely local stuff.
Met by the complex Rep. Corinne and had a good introduction. Entry to the apartment was a big WOW. Very artistic, high standard and new. Good ambience with lots of extras such as books/DVDs. The kitchen is fully equiped if you decide to cook. The flat is like a home from home, spacious, well laid out, very comfortable, private.
Early season but we still had breakfast on the veranda overlooking the swimming pool, which was never too busy. Colder temperatures in the evening were compensated by free use of the electric heat pumps (double as air conditioners).
