Probably into double figures of stays at Placid Village: we love it! The staff are unobtrusive, friendly and cannot do enough for us. It is clean & tidy, well equipped and competitively priced. It is surrounded by nice, privately occupied expensive villas & casas. It is a fair (30 minute) walk to both Carvoeiro Square/ beach & a very comprehensive supermarket- Intermarche that is open long hours, every day. The walk is not flat so without a car, it is more suited to the fit & healthy, however, the company can easily accommodate the less able/ wheelchair users (I believe that there are "adapted" units on the site. The pool is medium sized & unheated but there is plenty of room & sun loungers for those sun worshippers. The Algarvian climate is consistently 10 degrees centigrade higher than at home (Yorkshire), so February feels spring like, with the beautiful flowers in the well kept gardens nearby already coming into bloom. Watch out for the rare Hoopoe & the colourful European Magpie & listen out for the owls at night. It is a great place for those wanting a lovely quiet break from our busy lives. A (not so) hidden gem.
