Tailor-made Holidays to Portugal

If you like lazing in the sun, but are also a keen golfer, the Algarve will always present you with a dilemma. Play around on the beach, or play a round on one of the area's many world class golf courses? And then there is the rest of Portugal to consider – it’s a country that stretches way beyond the excellent coastline and unforgettable golf courses of the Algarve.

Talk to Alison Jones, one of our expert Portugal consultants, about the possibilities. She’ll suggest you start by immersing yourself in the wonderful and intimate city of Lisbon, with its traditional tiled buildings, the tiny winding lanes of Alfama, its Art Nouveau architecture, its fabulous seafood restaurants and vivacious café culture.

And then Alison will introduce you to the famous port lodges of Oporto and the beauty of the surrounding Douro countryside. She’ll suggest visiting the mediaeval town of Sintra, or hopping over to the beautiful island of Madeira to experience the sub-tropical gardens, the unique flora and fauna and the spectacular walks along the Levades. With afternoon tea on the terrace at Reid’s Palace, overlooking Funchal, proving to be a highly recommended way of relaxing and gathering yourself for the evening ahead.
