Vila Verde Ghost Town.
Vila Verde is a 20/25 minute walk from Santa Maria, with a similar walk to the nearest beach. This is a massive complex, but according to some locals 70% of units are unoccupied, leaving the place feeling deserted. There is a free shuttle a few time a day to Santa Maria. Taxis cost 4/5 per trip. There was NO water in our swimming pool, but the local agent did arrange a pass for another pool in this massive complex. The WiFi was very poor but the agents installed a newer system, which worked quite well. On site there is a supermarket and two restaurants. 1 tin of Heinz beans cost almost 4.On Christmas eve we had a meal in the resturant, but the next day was spent vomiting with food poisoning.Although we had booked and paid for two weeks, we were on a plane Christmas day jumping ship 7 days early.
