My Vacation in Portugal

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

Thankfully, I am not a big fan of hot weather, so going out of season is fine by me.

So, after thinking it through, i decided to visit the algarve, in portugal.

Often seen as spains 'little brother', portugal is one of my favourite countries, the portuguese are extremely warm people, but not as excitable as the other med countries. Dining out in portugal is a rewarding experience, and economical compared to the rest of the mediterranean.

Now i juist needed to pick a nice resort in the algarve.

Surfing over the quagmire of 'algarve villa' websites in the google results, I found one site offering algarve villas that seemed better than the others. a site calling itself 'villaretreats.com'. Not only do they offer the normal villa rental service, but also a number of extra services that made all the difference for me. They offer a unbeatable price match offer, a guarantee that they have visited every one of their algarve villas personally, an offer to book your flights for you, emergency telephone support number and the offer to prebook restaurants, taxis, golf courses etc

Being a poor sort of chap, i can't afford all of these but that level of complete service was a deal breaker for me.

I still have to choose the resort though, Quinta do lago, Parque da floresta, Santa barbara de nexe and Praia da rocha all look interesting, guess i will need to consult my wife on that one.

Well done Villa Retreats!
