Portugal is a land of romance. Something intangible hangs in the air that will seduce and enrapture you.

Whether in the country or by the sea, we open up our palaces, farms and manor houses to romance, giving a big-hearted welcome to anyone who visits.

Light and colour in Portugal are also a source of inspiration: the light and colour of the sea, but also the filtered light in a recess of the Sintra woods, the diffuse hues among the foliage that inspire poets, painters and lovers.

You can experience them in an alleyway in Alfama, in Lisbon, on the endless Alentejo plain or on the island of Madeira, the perfect setting for a honeymoon. And in many other places, such as the Azores or the Alentejo coast, where nature is waiting to be discovered.

No-one can resist the charm of a mediaeval castle adapted to modern times, where you can indulge in the comforts of living. Or a spa, a memorable meal, an endless stretch of beach, a wine tasting, a cultural and leisure programme.

A ride in a horse-drawn carriage, a dinner by candlelight, a sunset over the sea, all provide fond memories. Even if it’s just for a few days, the mild climate, the diverse landscape and the romantic atmosphere will ensure unforgettable moments in Portugal.
