Portugal’s Mediterranean charm is most prominent on the golden beaches of the Algarve; in the wilderness of the Azores islands; among the vineyards of Douro Valley; and on the cobbled streets of Lisbon and Porto, where old-world culture meets cosmopolitan bars and restaurants.

We "sleep" 2 nights in the last week of Jully. Was really a bad experience. Staff is incapable to establish a silence rule. They accepte people until 11pm. If you have lucky, perhaps you can have some good time. If you don't have will be a nightmare. This campsite is for young groups! Garden around the pool was poor too. If you go in this beautiful region you can choice Yellow camping in Lagos. Is the best one.

Stayed here for our first 3 nights I Sao Miguel. Very central location. Not a far walk to most of what you may want to see in Ponta Delgada. The rooms were large and clean, the common areas also very nice. Lovely pool area outside for swimming or a bit of chilling. We were provided with a wonderful little map of the island on our arrival. It became an invaluable tool for our entire stay. Our host 'Miguel' was also incredibly friendly and helpful.

It’s a nice guesthouse with great breakfast, clean and comfortable rooms and a lovely host. It has free on site private parking and a nice swimming pool with beach chairs and shade from the trees. It’s located about 1 km from Carvoeiro village and there’s a bus stop practically in front of the guesthouse. (For those visiting without a car) A taxi to the center of town/beach costs about €5. Price quality wise, this place is hard to beat.

The house has 6 double rooms with private bath, one of the rooms is prepared for handicapped guests.On the ground floor is the restaurant space, snack bar, bar and lounge. Outside the house you can find a space called Mundo Rural, there exists another suite and as well an area to support the production of wine, a barbecue terrace and garden. From here you have a privileged view to our s
We stayed here as a part of a self guided bike tour. The hotel has a great terrace on the second floor where you can enjoy some food and drink. The staff is super helpful and goes above and beyond (e.g. when I asked if it was too late for cheese and meat board at 23:30, I was given a smile and asked where I wanted to eat it; and they did a load of laundry for us at a reasonable fee). The bathroom was a little snug, and there isn’t a ton of places to eat in town, but the hotel coordinated an affordable local cab. I would definitely stay here again!

Gaspar House is in a building from 1951, has high ceilings and the most beautiful Paquet in the world. ;-) It's located in the heart of Lisbon, 4 subway stations away from the touristic center. Subway Station "Areeiro" is right in front of the door. The Airport is only 5 minutes away by taxi or bus. By subway are about 15 min. The train to Sintra is just around the corner. The train to Belem, Estoril and Cascais is at the end of our subway line. Lisbon Guest House neighborhood is very well considered in the City. It is elegant and friendly. A certain touch „bourgeois“. I'd like my guests to get to know Lisbon as if they would be living here. Don't hesitate to ask if you'd like to know where to go, what to see, to eat or drink. For it's a 5 room flat, we ask for some attention and quiteness to not disturbe.
Spent 3 fantastic nights at Gaspar's house. Beautiful apartment, spotlessly clean, our bedroom was huge with it's own private bathroom. The host Gasper is a lovely person, so kind ,helpful and very knowledgeable about Lisbon and the surrounding areas. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful! All fresh and organic food. Great location, 1 minute walk to the metro to take you into Lisbon centre. Gaspar's house is highly recommended when visiting Lisbon.

The origin of the name "Casa Nª Sra do Carmo" is associated with the its private chapel. Opened in 2014, the house offers a warm and comfortable space, combining a modern style with its still visible history associated with vine growing and the production of the famous Port wine. The "lagares" and the winery are interesting features that will not go unnoticed. The "Casa Nª Sra do Carmo" offers a panoramic view of the Douro valley and of the surrounding mountains with their terraced vineyards. It is certainly a unique place to spend relaxing moments, with tranquility and nature all around us.
We had a short stay here in August, and wished we had had longer. The guesthouse has been stylishly converted from an old family property and is clean, with great open areas both indoors and out, to sit and relax. The views across the valley are incredible. As so many other reviews have mentioned, Nuno is a wonderful host - friendly, knowledgable and very generous with his time (we bombarded him with so many questions). We did a 6km walk from the house and also took electric bikes out for the day through Nuno's company, using GPS guidance to cover 60km's of the Douro valley - this was a real highlight of our trip. We would highly recommend a stay here, whether you want to relax and drink in the views (and the local wine) or be active...its a perfect base for both.

Quinta da Marinha hotel and golf course is an absolute dream destination for golfers and non-golfers. The area offers so many things to do, biking, hiking, horseback riding, surfing, eating and drinking you name it! The beautiful town of Cascais is only 5 minutes away driving. The staff was extremely helpful and big thanks to Manel, Francisco and Joao who made our experience with them perfect, and I look forward to coming back again, again and again, you guys are stuck with me! The hotel has recently been renovated, it’s very clean, stylish and beautiful with a great bar, outdoor area with a pool overseeing the 18th and 10th hole. The restaurant is great, so one area has a very nice dinner buffet, whilst the other area you have to book a table where they serve A la Carte, outstanding restaurant! The golf course does not have a single “boring” hole, the layout is simply fantastic and I enjoyed every shot at the course. The fairways are firm and the greens soft with the Bent grass type, very well groomed and the ball stays perfectly on line while putting. What a stay, looking forward to come back again next fall. Thank you.

Location and rooms are great, but there is NO elevator and we had to carry our bags up 84 stairs to get to our room. That means every time you go in and out, you are climbing 84 stairs! Needless to say, although I liked the accommodations, I would never stay here again.

Quinta do Espirito Santo is a cultural, historical, ecological and tourism project, based on a recently restored 18th century countryside manor house, classified as historic landmark since 2010, which embeds the aesthetic tastes, preferences and experiences of 5 family generations. We propose, in a calm, both erudite and relaxed setting, to share and enjoy with you the Atlantic, the Azores Islands and all the world stories that have come together in what was once a central hub of world communication.
During my 2-week trip around Portugal, Quinta do Espirito Santo is the most favorite. It is not only just a place for a stay but a place providing an authentic experience with the stories of Terceira Island. I stayed 2 memorable days here with Francisco -the owner who is also a very knowledgeable history teacher and museum director, and his wife, just like one of their family members. The manor itself (including the hotel's main buildings, subordinate houses, and a lovely tropical garden) is a mirror of the island's background, speaking to the maritime history and the special geographical position of this island. All the furniture and decorations have their own stories and histories. The host couple is very friendly, helpful, and talkative, and we always had very interesting talks. The rooms are very clean and atmosphere. This is a unique oasis of Terceira and Azores which makes a trip very unusual.
