Portugal - beaches, landscapes, history and great food

We at Secretplaces have spent many years travelling through Portugal in search of hotels, B&B’s and guesthouses that are truly authentic and have that something special.
As diverse as this beautiful country is the choice of holiday accommodations on offer. We have put together a handpicked selection of the nicest. You can choose from boutique hotels in Lisbon, our seaside hotels in Cascais and the Lisbon coast or take a short break at one of our guesthouses or bed and breakfasts on the coast of the Alentejo, known as the Costa Vicentina. If you prefer wamer water a holiday in one of the charming Algarve hotels near the ocean sounds ideal.

Many have been well established for centuries and travelling on them will make their subject matter come vividly alive. Should you wish to know more about an individual route, please contact us. We will be happy to help you organise your itinerary and accommodation.
Wine Country Succulent reds, cool whites, bubbly greens. Portugal produces an astonishing variety of quality wines given its size, many of them unknown to the outside world and grown in some of the country’s most beautiful regions. The fortified wines of Port and Madeira, however, are famous the world over and unique to Portugal.
Mountains Portugal may not have the wealth of mountains that its neighbour possesses, but those it has are equally beautiful and wild.
Natural Parks Portugal boasts a wonderful variety of natural parks and nature reserves preserving the natural beauty, wildlife, monuments and way of life of the regions.
From the rugged, mountainous parks of the north, to the peaceful stress free reserves of the south, Portugal has much to offer the visitor when it comes to nature.
