The Algarve
Although a popular summer holiday destination, a stay in the Algarve in the
Spring and Autumn is highly recommended when temperatures are mild and
the region is much quieter than during the busier summer months. With 300 days of sunshine a year, it is also a good option for those looking for some winter sun. Famous for its rugged coastline of stunning rock formations and beautiful sandy beaches there is much more on offer including some wonderful seafood, interesting towns such as the mediaeval fortresses of Silves and Sagres, and peaceful hilltop villages like Loulé and Monchique. With good air and rail links to Lisbon and Oporto, the region can easily be combined with other destinations in Portugal as part of a tailor-made holiday.

Bela Vista
The Algarve, Portugal
When this 19th century jewel opened as a hotel in 1934, it was the first of note on the Algarve. At the time, Praia da Rocha was a sleepy village and although it is now a lively resort town, this precious hotel has managed to maintain an oasis-like tranquillity which is immediately apparent as you pass though the high, wrought-iron entrance gates.
