What a beautiful new addition is this Hideaway on Portugal’s west coast, just an hour north of Lisbon. In this brand new hotel, careful consideration has been given to what the contemporary and pampered traveller needs. Rooms that not only look very handsome but are also very comfortable with a great bed, a good power shower and a terrace/balcony for hot days. There is a good spa, a fine outdoor pool and the food by chef Alexandre Silva is a treat that people come over for even from Lisbon.
The second Hideaway on São Miguel is located in a very special place: in the middle of a volcanic crater in the village of Furnas. The environment here is spectacular …. It is very green with lots of ferns and beautiful flowers, everywhere there are geysers steaming and hot springs bubbling. It creates a mysterious atmosphere and the village looks a bit like a film set. The biggest plus of this hotel is its own thermal springs (both indoors and outdoors), which guests can use 24 hours a day.
A Local Hideaway with an enormous wow factor! This hidden gem, situated in a picturesque medieval village in the Empordà, absolutely has it! Not surprising because the property is an old Italian palace and still breathes the grandeur and finesse of the wealthy Italian family that once used this house as a country retreat. Now it is proudly owned by the young enterprising Oleguer and Anna and they have transformed the palace into a small modern and luxurious pampering hotel.
In a tiny village in the Empordà, there is a surprise hidden behind a pale green door. If you didn’t know it, you would walk right past it. But once inside you will be surprised by all the space and a beautiful garden. This is where South African Johan and Sandy have housed their small-scale B&B. Only 7 rooms, varying from a spacious suite to a small double room.
