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 hotel is brand new as I found out yesterday. The size of the room is very nice. Very beautiful and artistic design. Very kind stuff that meet your needs over and beyond the expectations. I was one night last week and turned around my plans to come back again and stay 2 more nights before flying back home. As a previous 5 star hotelier I can tell a lot about the quality.

Guest review
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.

Guest review
This lovely small hotel was modern and clean. Included shampoo/bodywash and conditioner in shower as well as hand soap and moisturiser at the sink. Breakfast included fantastic selection of food as well as pastries throughout the day. Staff were lovely and the welcome drink of port was a lovely touch. Tea/coffee making facilities were in room, as well as hot drinks machine available 24hrs - it was lovely to have a hot chocolate before bed.

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.

Guest review
What a stay! Sometimes you don't want to tell your discoveries, to keep it for yourself. But this one needs to be shared.
A magic luxery boutique hotel, on the border or Estoril and Cascais. You enter a world of history but with a contempory atmosphere. Staff is excellent and gives you a feeling of being home with kindness, friendly talks and classy suggestions for restaurants and visits.
Also the restaurant in the hotel where breakfast, lunch and diner is served is Michelin worthy.
