We have also stayed at this hotel, out of season. We were there in Jan 07 just as they were dismantling the Christmas tree in the entrance. We were sat outside at a little bar, talking to other visitors who where staying at the sister hotel to Villa Gale, that use to be a tuna canning factory............................this is on the sand splits, with a connecting shuttle bus between the two hotels.
The tree came out through the main doors in two halves and was carried round the side and into the under ground car park, no doubt we will see it again in Jan 08 splendid with it's decorations. It took six men to carry each half and it was "egg and milk" to watch them.
The hotel is just so friendly, welcoming, light airy, clean, the food is great and breakfast can take as long as you like.
There are a lot of golfers in the hotel but they don’t seem to bother you as they are up and out in the morning before you even think of breakfast.
The town of Tavira is very quaint. We went on a horse and landau ride round the town that was very pleasant.
You may see the men fishing in the main river for shall fish at low tide, but even at high tide it is very shallow.
The eateries are mainly fish though as a non fish eater, I found plenty to eat, at O Patio which has a very good selection.
You must go across the straight to the sand split, which they say is the largest in Europe, and we walked for a couple of hours and the only company on the beach were 4 people in the distance. They do say you can walk all the way to Faro on the split, not willing to try yet. It’s a place to go to walk and walk and just look at the sea, but remember to take some water with you as at this time of the year it’s hot, (well for us brits) and the shops are closed down.
