""The transfer from Faro Airport to Longevity is about 50 minutes. We had a welcome drink on arrival and checked in. The room was actually an apartment with two bathrooms – one with shower and one with a bath. There was an open plan living room and kitchen with herbal teas and a double bedroom. There was a balcony with a hammock and a couple of day beds. The view of the mountains was lovely. I would recommend a mountain view as the coastal view has a road at the front of the hotel. It is not a busy road but the noise from the occasional car can interrupt the tranquillity when on your balcony. We had our first “wellness cuisine” dinner that evening. Sardine on lentils, quail and carrot puree for starter, salmon for main and champagne sorbet and apple strudel in a fat free pastry for desert. I noticed the butter is salt free. I was offered water, the juice of the day (made from parsley), or red wine. The only alcohol they serve is wine and they prefer to serve red as it is healthier. However, you can have white if you prefer! The next morning there was a lovely buffet for breakfast and an a la carte menu. I had an apple porridge made from Quinoa to which I added some fruit and seeds from the buffet. There are also egg dishes and a vitamin shake on the menu. We met one of the personal trainers who took us for a walk in the pretty surrounding area. Coming from minus 3 degrees in London in December to a warm and sunny 15 degrees was very pleasant. We walked through the countryside and nearby village where there is a pretty square and bar. Back at the hotel I went to the spa early to relax before my first treatment. There is an indoor heated pool with loungers and fluffy towels so you can relax and read a book. There is a sauna and steam room to pop in and out of. Outside the spa is a cold, outdoor pool for a very quick dip if you want to get your circulation going. There is another outdoor, heated pool in the grounds. My treatment in the spa was a body scrub and massage. It was in a lovely dimly lit room. The treatment bed was so comfortable with thick warm towels. The therapist offered a choice of 3 oils and I chose lavender. The body scrub was salt mixed with lavender oil. Afterwards there is a shower to wash the salt off and you get back on the bed for your massage with oil. At the end of the massage I could have happily stayed there all afternoon wrapped in hot towels and covered in lavender oil. Instead I went out to the relaxation area for a herbal tea. For lunch on our second day we helped ourselves to the buffet where there was soup, salad and wraps. We also had Portuguese custard pastries which are not so healthy but had been specially requested. In the afternoon I had my evaluation where you are told your biological age. To do this they take your weight, height and body composition of fat/water/muscle. My biological age is 15 years younger than my real age! I was told that if you exercise and speed up your metabolism, it helps to make your biological age younger – so I went straight to the gym! I think if I returned to Longevity I would book some personal training sessions to kick start my improved exercise routine before my return home. That evening we dined at the small restaurant a 5 minute walk down the road for an authentic Portuguese experience. It is possible to go there if you are craving a meal with chips and a beer! The next morning after breakfast we had a meditation class during which I fell asleep! We had a 3 course lunch which consisted of a spinach soup, guinea fowl and crème brulée which I am told was healthier than the normal version. In the afternoon I had my nutritional evaluation. The results from the biological evaluation are used with your levels of water, fat and muscle and how evenly muscle and fat is distributed around your body. You are advised where you can make amendments to your diet – I need to go shopping for some Gingo Biloba tea which aids circulation! You are sent an email of the recommendations once you have returned home. Unfortunately it was time for me to return home. I would very happily return and would choose to travel out of season. I really enjoyed the temperature being 17 degrees more than London in December and it was great to get some sunshine and fresh air. I liked the style of the hotel which is very light as they have used a lot of glass. It is also very relaxed and some of us had lunch in our bathrobes one day!" December 2012."
