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!

Situated conveniently in the centre of Porto, Artcore Hotel Porto offers air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, private parking and room service.
Guest review
Our stay at the Artcore Hotel in Porto was truly one of the best hotel experiences we’ve ever had. From the moment we walked in, we were struck by the beautiful, modern décor—stylish yet warm, with thoughtful artistic touches throughout the hotel.
Our room was exceptionally comfortable and spotlessly clean, making it easy to relax after long days exploring the city. The well-stocked minibar was a pleasant surprise, especially the abundance of bottled water, which we really appreciated. And the complimentary sweets at reception were such a charming and welcoming detail!
Breakfast was absolutely fabulous—plentiful, fresh, and beautifully presented, with options to suit every taste.
Overall, Artcore Hotel exceeded all expectations. The attention to detail, comfort, and hospitality made our stay unforgettable. We would return in a heartbeat and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Porto.

Well set in Porto, Ribeira Douro Hotel features 2-star accommodation close to Palacio da Bolsa and Ferreira Borges Market.
Guest review
A heartfelt thank you to the entire staff for their exceptional care, both before and during our stay. They went above and beyond to accommodate my gluten-free needs and helped organize a surprise for my mom’s birthday. They even arranged for a beautiful bouquet of flowers, which was presented to her during breakfast, moving her to tears—a truly touching moment.
The property is stunning, intimate, with exposed stone walls, an impeccable design, and spotlessly clean. The breakfast was fantastic, offering plenty of variety, and I loved the thoughtful touch of cakes, water, and coffee available throughout the day. Such a lovely idea!
The location is perfect, right in front of the Douro River. I highly recommend booking a room with a view on the fourth floor! Just outside, you'll find charming riverside restaurants, perfect for both quiet evenings and livelier settings. There’s music in the streets, yet the hotel remains a peaceful haven.
I absolutely adored the high ceilings and the overall atmosphere. Thank you for your professionalism and for making our stay so memorable. Highly recommended!

A truly magnificent hotel! Stunning views, a cozy and elegant atmosphere, beautiful rooms, and an incredibly friendly and attentive staff.
We were pleasantly surprised by the thoughtful gifts and compliments from the hotel.
The cuisine is absolutely fantastic! Special thanks and great respect to the chef — every dish we ordered was beautifully presented and tasted exceptional.
We celebrated our wedding anniversary at the hotel, and I couldn’t be happier. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. We enjoyed excellent wine (with special thanks to the sommelier) and had a wonderful, relaxing time at the spa.
I will definitely return and will happily recommend this hotel to all my friends and acquaintances.
If you are looking for peace, relaxation, and true quality — this is the place to be.
