Water in Vila Verde

Well, as it is Christmas day I thought what better moment to annouce the news that we finaly have water on Vila Verde!

Electra assures us that you will now be able to sign up with them. As a test the site administration company went to set up a contract for the automatic watering system for the gardens and IT WORKS!!

So finally both water and power is available on site!

We do apologise for the small delay in getting this information out to you but the Sales Director was called away on urgent family business.

Have a great Christmas!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all!

Here is their link.



If you have any further questions please contact us.

The chicken and the egg!

Well, in the quest for utilities on Vila Verde we have come up against a typical chicken and egg scenario.

As you know we were informed by Electra that the electricity was resolved. We launched some fireworks but, thankfully, had the foresight to announce "Almost There"!

Anyway, we went to the Electra office with a client's paperwork (Well, we sent Carlos to Electra's office) and were told we could not sign up for anything!

Hmm, back to square one?

It seems that Electra do not want to sign utility contracts just for power, they want to do the two together so we can't have power until we have water!

But that leads us to good news. The water installation was signed off long before the electrical one and Electra have informed us that they expect for the water to be connected this week (Week commencing December 7th).

If this is the case then we can send our expedition back to the offices next week and see if we can sign up the apartment in question.

We'll keep you posted!

Almost there!

Although Sunday, I think it important to let you all know that we have had the news we've all been waiting for: ELECTRA have signed the paperwork so now the electricity issue has been resolved!

Here is the communication we have received from our main Engineer

Autos assinados pela Electra quer dizer que, a partir daquela data (da assinatura) esta reconhece que a rede está em condições de uso para o serviço, tomou posse da mesma, passando a ser da sua exclusiva responsabilidade o fornecimento de electricidade a cada uma das unidades concluídas.

So what this mean, in English is:

The order has been signed by Electra which means that, from that date (The signing date) they (Electra) recognise that the network is fit for use, they take possession of it thus exclusive responsibility for the supply of electricity to each of the finished units passes to them.

So it really does appear that the "light" at the end of the tunnel can be switched on!

Updated photos on the Vila Verde Webalbum

Once again we have updated the photos. We have tried to make the most comprehensive photo report possible. If you want photos of other parts of the resort just let us know and we'll send our team (Well, Carlos anyway) out with his camera.

Have a great day!
