Half Day Loule market excursion:

Visit this beautiful inland town and get involved with the locals at the weekly markets. You will have plenty of free time to visit the Moorish castle, browse around the quaint narrow shopping streets or hustle and bustle with the locals in the Gypsy Market. This excursion is for those who love a bargain!!!

Just a note to let you know that we found Estrela Do Vau most satisfactory. Our suite was pleasant and the kitchen suited our needs and we had a balcony overlooking the quarter with a view of the ocean in the distance. We enjoyed the Algarve very much and found the whole trip very satisfying.

I am home, unfortunately, from a wonderful time in Portugal. My experiences in the Algarve were great. The food, wine, people, sights, and weather were just what I needed.

The Estrela Do Vau apartments were great and certainly helped to make the trip enjoyable. I really loved the location because it was "mid-way" between Alvor, Portimao, water, rocks, cafes, sand, and...

I would strongly encourage Merit to consider including the Estrela Do Vau apartments as part of the Longstay packages for next year.
