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.

Set in Caminha, 1.5 km from Pedras Ruivas Beach, Rinoterra Minho offers accommodation with free bikes, free private parking, an outdoor swimming pool and a garden.
Guest review
Staying at Rinoterra was a great experience and if the opportunity arose, we would gladly return. The staff were all very friendly and helpful and the accommodation is finished to a very high standard with great attention to detail. We stayed in Melissa which is a suite in the main house with a separate lounge that includes a sofa bed. The swimming pool/spa facility was great and we had a fantastic breakfast. From Caminha, we had an Uber take us to Rinoterra and for our return, the hotel arranged a local taxi.

Well set in Porto, Ribeira Douro Hotel features 2-star accommodation close to Palacio da Bolsa and Ferreira Borges Market.
Guest review
This is a wonderful boutique hotel, and this was already my second visit. My mother and I stayed in a duplex room which was spotless and incredibly comfortable. The team went above and beyond to fulfill all our special requests with great care. The breakfast was delicious, and the staff were consistently kind and helpful. The room was well-heated and cozy, and the location is perfect for walking, right next to the river. We will definitely come back!

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.
