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.

Guest review
We cannot put into words how much we loved staying here! The room was great but the facilities were even better. The pool area was phenomenal that you don’t ever want to leave. They even have services such as massages and saunas and if you stay it’s a must you book these in! The breakfasts were absolutely amazing, definitely lived up to the hype and something we looked forward to each day. The only thing better than the facilities were the staff, everyone we spoke to was amazing and friendly we loved them all! Did I mention that it’s also in the most perfect spot walkable to everything you want in Abulfeira!

Located in Angra do Heroísmo, 2.7 km from Piscinas Oceânicas de Porto Martins, Xhale Azores provides accommodation with a terrace, free private parking, a restaurant and a spa and wellness centre.
Guest review
Every detail has been thought about from the guest perspective. it felt like an escape and home at the same time.
The staff are ALL warm and welcoming, they know and remember your name and are always eager to share their experiences and knowledge about the island and the Azores in general. The facilities are perfect (sauna, pool, steam room, yoga studio, gym....) and well maintained. The rooms are perfect comfortable little cocoons. The shower has great pressure and temperature control, the beds are some of the most comfortable I have had in a hotel and the view takes your breath away every morning.
Breakfast was fresh every morning and the variety was great. Choices changed everyday which made it enjoyable, as we stayed for almost a week. Coffee (GOOD COFFEE), tea and fresh water are always available.

I rarely give 10s in my life.
But I have to say everything, specially the staff was exceptional. I felt like I should send an email congratulating the HR director for its team.
It was a rainy January weekend where we felt at home and pampered in the most kind and attentive way. Food, activities and facilities were also an absolute best.
