Portugal is crammed with history, culture and cuisine, and these three characteristics have seen it visited by over 10 million tourists a year (and counting). Add stunning scenery to that list and you’ve got an endless supply of activities to keep you occupied.
The country is renowned for its enchanting cities, with the capital of Lisbon perched on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean. Its distinctive culture is emphasised by traditional fado music reverberating through the charming cobblestone streets and pastelarias serving up delicious pastéis de nata (custard tarts). For a unique way to explore the beautiful old town, hop aboard tram 28 – one of a few old fashioned tram lines still operating in Lisbon today. Porto, the second-largest city, offers up a charming medieval centre, coastal walks and bistros serving up ‘Francesinha’– a typical meat and cheese-filled sandwich distinctive to the city. Many popular beaches can be found closeby, such as the scenic shores of Gaia or Espinho. Hotels, B&Bs and apartments are dotted all over the country. You’ll also find a variety of guest houses and unique accommodation houses in charming manor houses or restored stone cottages and farmhouses.

Everything, it was an amazing experience overall. The team was great in everything we required. Was an excellent stay. The location is beautiful, we could see the sea through the window. The restaurant was divine and the spa was so relaxing and I wish I had spend more days there. Will definitely be back.

We had the pleasure of staying in the "Deluxe Bungalow," which boasted a spacious 55m2 area, and we found that it lived up to its description perfectly. The serene ambiance and comfortable amenities made our stay truly enjoyable.
The staff's exceptional service left a lasting impression on us. They were not only professional but also incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel warmly welcomed throughout our stay.
Moreover, the breakfast provided was outstanding.
Without a doubt, we have already started planning our return visit to this wonderful place. Thank you for providing us with such a memorable and delightful experience during our stay.

It's a family place with heritage. Joaquim is an extraordinary host – he welcomed us with grace and true hospitality. The room was spacious, beautifully decorated and equipped with everything we needed. The bed linen and towels were crispy clean and of very good quality. Very quiet neighbourhood. Breakfast from local produce was very tasty.
