Albatroz
Cascais, Portugal
superior
Originally known as the Almond Box and built in 1873 as a Duke’s Palace, the Albatroz has a wonderful location on a headland between the town’s two beaches. Two buildings have been added to create a 51-bedroom hotel of great charm and style with the atmosphere of a luxurious private home.
Short Break
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.
Short Break
Jardins Do Lago
Madeira, Portugal
This charming Madeiran country house was built in the 18th century and overlooks Funchal, just one mile from the city centre. It was the residence of the Commander of the British forces during the Napoleonic wars and his magnificent sideboard still has pride of place in the dining room.
