Advantages: Good location with stunning views and excellent mountain cuisine. Disadvantages: You can miss the sign for the restaurant very easily
Sundays in the Algarve are always special - it is time when families get together and drive out to Monchique and Foia to eat in the many restaurants situated on this long road full of hair pin bends. This area of Portugal is what I call my home - it is where I lived for several years and still have land and property. Even though I live a long way from 'home' I still manage every year to go back and visit. There are many, many mountain restaurants placed alongside this road but only a handful excel in traditional mountain cooking.
Jardim das Oliveiras is one of the exceptional restaurants and you can find this converted farmhouse half way between the town of Monchique and the wilderness at the highest point of the mountain known as Foia. The restaurant is signposted but you have to really look for the sign and take the right turning ...
Advantages: Idyllic location, great for hikers Disadvantages: Rooms are too warm and a little gloomy
(and had good AC) and the Villa Turistica de Priego is designed with the needs of ramblers in mind, rather than soft, lazy gits like me (my hill-walking days have long since taken a hike).
Speaking of hiking, this place is ideally situated for that particular pastime with any number of trails leading directly from the hotel. In fact, I wish I'd known about it when I did do a bit of hiking, it would've been perfect
Having said that, we really only wanted somewhere quiet, where we could lounge by the pool, have a nice meal, and perchance sink a few beers without breaking the bank. In that respect the hotel fulfilled all our requirements.
And although I found the room to be on the spartan side regarding creature comforts, it was very clean and well looked after.
So, if you're looking for some home comforts in a bright and airy room ...

In 1982 Aston Villa won the European Cup. In fact English clubs won it six years in a row and dominated Europe, Forest and Liverpool winning 5 more, a couple of UEFA Cups thrown in for good measure. England will have the most winners in the competition when Manchester United beat Chelsea in the Moscow final with a totals of 12 victories. Football is coming home and those European glory days are returning for British football with an English club making the last four Champions League finals. Aston Villa could well be involved in winning the big ...
