Casa Velha do Palheiro
Hotel and restaurant in the country (Funchal) On the volcanic soil of Madeira - “the pearl of the Atlantic” - this former hunting lodge is a perfect example of the local tradition of “quintas”, lordly manor houses converted into charming hotels. Casa Velha do Palheiro was built in 1804 and its three buildings are a haven of calm and harmony amongst the flowers. It's the ideal place to explore nature along the “levadas” or the stunning botanical gardens, relax in the delightful spa, practice your golf swing at the Palheiro Golf Club or visit the town of Funchal with its monuments and cafes where the famous Madeira wine is served.
Casa da Calçada
Hotel and restaurant in town (Amarante) The lemon yellow façades of the Casa da Calçada are a clue to the sunny stay that awaits you at this hotel. Situated at the heart of the town of Amarante, between the bustle of Porto and the sun‑dappled countryside of the Douro Valley (both less than an hour away), this hotel with its golden interiors is a favourite with those who love beauty, golfers (there is a splendid 18-hole course nearby) and fans of great wines. The proposed visit to the region’s best wine “quintas” will ensure that you never forget the differences between Tawny, Ruby, White or Vintage Port…
Hotel Quinta das Lagrimas
Hotel and restaurant in town (Coimbra) On one side an 18th century palace, on the other a most modern building, designed by one of Portugal’s most reputed architects… These houses are a perfect blend of traditional and modern. The 12-hectare park, a genuine museum of plants where tree species from all 5 continents are planted,
takes you to a romantic stroll. Equally imposing, the spa, a sanctuary of peace and serenity and its beautiful indoor pool, are the ideal places to relax and recharge. The perfect place from which to discover Coimbra - “the royal” - the city of poets and fado music.
Fortaleza do Guincho
Hotel and restaurant on the seafront (Cascais) The Atlantic waves crash against the rock at the foot of this impassive building. At the entrance, two cannons confront you reminding you that you are entering an ancient fortress. Welcome to a region of character and an address of immense charm, with it preserved 17th century interiors, princely rooms, delicious cuisine and a beach just two steps away… On the programme are water sports, golf, a casino (in Estoril) and other pleasures just thirty kilometres from Lisbon and its vibrant cultural life.
Vila Monte Resort
Hotel and restaurant in the country (Moncarapacho) At night, the cleverly located lanterns in the gardens light up fairylike routes around the swimming pool, ponds and palm trees. Under the stars the spectacle is grandiose. The Vila Monte Resort is a magical place, all patios, colonnades, ornaments and fragrances which invite one to travel, to dream. Both modern and Moresque, it combines purity of line with a variety of colours. A golf course and spa add to the gentle ambience of this place. Just a few minutes from the charms of Faro with its fine sandy beaches and less than two hours from Seville, this is the ideal hotel from which to discover the very best of the Algarve and Andalusia.
