Portugal holiday

I have not long returned from a family holiday in Portugal. Its the first time we've visited  Portugal and it didn't dissapoint. We stayed in a three bedroom Apartment  Placid village in the area of Carvoeiro.  The apartment  was absolutely  fantastic  , so spacious and comfortable. We have three teenage boys so we were all able to feel like we had our  own space and we weren't  on top of each other. The apartment had air con in all the rooms a fantastic  kitchen including dishwasher and washing  machine. It had a flat screen TV , which shown English channels. It also featured  two bathrooms one being an en suite in one of the main bedroom. 

The holiday village itself was a 15 minute  walk to the town of Carvoeiro and was situated  in a peaceful  hilltop location , set in beautiful  landscaped gardens. It had a small pool area with loungers and was never crowded.  We stayed on a  bed and breakfast  basis  and had breakfast every morning in the small cafe area in reception. It was a continental breakfast and had a large selection  of  bread , pastries,  cheese , meats,  yoghurt,  , tea , coffee , cereal , fresh fruit juices and you also got a large fresh fruit platter per family . It was a really  lovely  start to the day. 

We were staying for ten days and we used the local taxi service  to get around and about.  They were reasonably priced , reliable and friendly. We downloaded  the taxi app about half way through the holiday and it was so easy to use. We enjoyed exploring  Carvoeiro and the surrounding area and went on several trips to the slip and slide waterpark , a pirate ship boat trip from Portimao and we explored the caves and watched the sunset at Alger Seco.

We booked the holiday as a package with easyjet holidays and I would  definitely  book with them again. It was a competitive price and we were pleased with their service , we even had a private  transport  to the airport  which we were not expecting. Portugal is a very family  friendly  holiday destination and I would  definitely  recommend the area of Carvoeiro for a family friendly  holiday .
