Wonderful relaxing holiday

we can see why you have so many returnees!
By Tony & Janet Johnson on 24-Nov-2025Casa Helena Well, we can see why you have so many returnees! We too have fallen under the spell of this charming hamlet, developed & nurtured over the decades by Mary & family. Our plans for walking & exploring the towns & coast were largely set aside to just enjoy the tranquility, warmth & atmosphere of the little Eden. We will just need to come again. That's not to say our trips to Tavira, Sta. Catarina, Fuseta weren't enjoyable, far from it. And how lovely to park easily, buy lovely food, & cook it back at the casa in such a well-equipped kitchen. We particularlyl enjoyed at the Ria Formosa Nature Park. Perhaps due to the time of year, we practically had the place to ourselves, saw all manor of birds & other creatures, variety of flora & habitats. The tide was coming in, & even saw some murmerations. Many thanks, Janet & Tony PS I really enjoyed the pool.
