just booked very last minute flights to the Algarve for this week & now need to find the right area for a self catering place to stay.  We like places in  less touristy areas & relatively unspoilt towns/villages/ beaches  - if anyone has any suggestions  would be great.

Thanks!

I went there many years ago and it had long since been past its best as an idyllic spot.  But perhaps out of season you will find something peaceful away from the golf courses and British bars.  Others may be less cynical!

If you get a car and go up to the Alentejo there are some wonderful hill towns, but nicer in the spring when the meadows are in flower.

    • Might be worth pointing out it might be a good idea to be suspicious of anyone who comes near you that is wearing a mask. Covid is a thing of the past In the same area I have seen several young lads wearing masks on bikes, they slow down when going past anyone 'fiddling' with mobile phones. they move on if its an old model that is not worth stealing. There have been several incidents of movile phone thefts around Goose Green. YES  some people  are immune deficient  and perhaps still feel they need to wear a mask although I question how nessesary that is in the open air.
    • Should Estates agents also take some responsibility for this.  In our case it feels like they have been acting on behalf of the buyer not the seller even though we are paying then for their service.  Just to be clear I have reassured the buyer whose house we are buying off that we still pay them what we promised. When this is all over should I states which Estate agent is involved?? 
    • Thank you Sue.  I am not on the App but your post signalled me to the FAQs and I can contact Admin there.
    • Amazing how fast he was. He literally had something like a minute between stealing the card and using another cashpoint before it was blocked. The bank will return the money but willing to bet he will hit that same ATM with the same ruse again at some point.
