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
The best with our stay in Portugal was for sure this hotel. We have stayed in many hotels and this stands out for their great hospitality. The staff were the nicest people I ever met. The breakfast at poolside the highlight of the day. The spa- treatments were fab. This hidden oasis has a great location - close to beach and restaurants. We will never forget the beauty of this place and the warm hearted people who care for it and for their guests.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Amazing hotel! The breakfasts were delicious and very varied – something for everyone. The staff were exceptionally helpful, and the manager Bruno deserves a special mention – always ready to assist and extremely professional. Our birthday trip turned out to be absolutely perfect, everything was perfectly organized. The room was comfortable, clean, and cozy, and the hotel’s atmosphere made us feel really special. I highly recommend this place 100% – it’s definitely a hotel we’d love to return to!

This hotel is really fantastic. I really appreciated the beautiful room and the truly warm hospitality and customer care of the staff, always smiling and satisfying any single request. The complimentary bottle of champagne and local pasteis de nata we found in the room was a plus and made our stay really a dream.

The hotel was amazing, with beautiful view of the river and vineyards. We really enjoyed the hotel's spa area. The staff were professional, attentive and friendly. However, what impressed us most was design of the hotel. Amazing.

The guesthouse is a joy, so clean and modern, a tribute to the hosts and their architect. Being surrounded by art was delightful. The hosts were super friendly and helpful. About 3 mins from the sea location could not be better.
