A Foodie Vacation in the Algarve for Me

I am badly in need of a break, and have left it way too late again.

I am not too worried about that, because, luckily, I hate warm weather, so going in the off-season suits me fine.

So, after thinking it through, I decided to visit portugal, or specifically, the algarve.

Often seen as spains 'little brother', portugal is one of my favourite places to visit, the portuguese are extremely warm people, but not quite as explosive as the other med countries. Dining out in portugal is a rewarding experience, and costs are low compared to the rest of europe.

Easy choice, then - portugal is where I am going..

Surfing over the thousands of vacation rental websites on the web, I found one villa rental site that offered villas in the algarve that really impressed me. a site calling itself 'villaretreats.com'. Not only do they offer the standard villa booking service, but a few unique selling points that made all the difference for me. They offer a villa price match promise, a promise that they have checked them all in person, a flight booking service, a car hire service, 24 hour support number and a pre-booking service that can provide me with a personal chauffeur, a personal chef, babysitters etc

These aren't really need for me but the fact that they are on offer really helped me make up my mind.

Now I need to decide which resort I want, Quinta do lago, Vila sol, Santa barbara de nexe and Praia da rocha all look interesting, I suspect that 'she who must be obeyed' will decide that one.


See y'all when I get back
