The property was perfect for our needs. And the various fruit trees on the property were ripe for picking. We toured many sites around the Algarve. Our farthest excursion was a day trip to Evora and the neolithic site nearby. The kitchen only needed a nylon spatula (which we bought and left there). The only problem was the ants in the kitchen, we did get some ant traps. An occasional treatment would probably eliminate the ant problem. Otherwise, everything was perfect, and his cable TV service included many shows in English, including all the major news shows. Orlando, the owner, was particularly helpful in suggesting places to shop, to eat, and to visit as tourists. He came over a number of times when we asked him for assistance with our touring plans. He was also quick with responding to our text messages and always answered our phone calls. Great adventure in the Algarve! We then took another VRBO northeast of Lisbon to tour that region of Portugal for a few more days.
