Thanks in advance

Hi Christina, we too are having a house built on the lefthand side as you come into the development from the road coming in at the top of the development - just up from the roundabout. Could you be our neighbour with the same builder? We know that the house next to us is being built by two English families. I returned from Tavira last night and the development has really progressed since I was there in January. Our house is coming on well but is running really late! I don't know when the country club will be built - I'm presuming after the houses have been built and sold so that they have some custom. Hope your trip goes well!

Hi Tania
There is a lighting shop just as you go into Tavira from the Cabanas end it is on the right, by a Bondi cafe, along a road that leads down to the BP petrol garage near Pingu doce. The lady in there was very accomodating and was able to order lights with only a few days notice. The only thing is she doesn't takes credit cards so you need to make sure you have euros. We didn't pay for our lights until they had arrived though and she speaks English.
Happy shopping

Hi Dave
We have ordered furniture and bedding from a company in Bolton that has a depot in Spain. You order in the UK by going down to their showroom and they will deliver anywhere in Portugal. I'm going to QDP next week to meet the delivery van. So can't totally recommend them yet until I know it has all arrived. They will put up curtain rails, towel rails etc. They also put in lighting as well but I haven't counted all the light fittings so couldn't book the lighting! So far they have been really professional. The company is called Villapac tel no:0870 766 9695, www.villapac.co.uk - we live 40 mins south of Edinburgh and it took us 3 hours to get to Bolton. So it wouldn't be far for you. We thought about the Ikea route but I thought perhaps it wouldn't all arrive - you know what they are like with missing bits and also we are really hopeless at putting it together. Villapac seems quite good value. We have gone for their cheaper range which is the mexican style furniture. It seemed very good quality. Good luck. If Villapac is a success next week I'll let you know!

Villapac were brilliant. They arrived on the right day at the right time and were very polite and helpful offering to do more than expected. They didn't deliver 3 blinds as these are still being made, but said that they would be delivered and fitted at our convenience. Two dining room chairs were found to be damaged when taken out of their boxes - so not their fault - and they will exchange them - I presume these will be delivered with the blinds. It took them 6 hours to drive up from Malaga and they went staight to work and after being with us for a day and a half they were going up to Lagos to fit out another house. They stay the night in Albufeira and they are opening a showroom in Villamoura. Definitely recommend them. They have everything that you will need!

Hi Tania,
Thanks for the info. I'm glad everything went ok for you.
I'm flying out tomorrow and hope to get as much sorted as I can on this trip.
I'll have a look at Vila pac in Vilamoura while I'm out there too.
Cheers,
Dave

What are the latest rumours on the swimming pool, restaurant and club at Pegada?
Other rumours bridges at Babanas and Tavira, any substance to these? OB

I have heard the rumours about the bridges but know nothing about them.

Hi Gina, I found the lighting shop you recommended and the lady there was really brilliant with excellent english, so I've ordered all the lighting from her. She was really keen for us to save money and suggested lighting that wouldn't eat up electricity. Thank you for your help!
You are very welcome, please pass on any tips you find as well. This is the best part of this site.

how lucky you people are to be able to live in Tavira - it's my dream but alas we just can't afford it and by the time we will be able to the property market would of climbed through the roof - so, I think we have to look central/north
good luck to you all - Tavira is a great place
