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.
From your lounger at the edge of the infinity pool, staring at the sheep grazing over the hills… it does not get any more Alentejo Zen! At 45 minutes from Lisbon airport, we discovered this new gem. A recently completely renovated farmhouse, the house of the grandparents of the dear hostess Dona Toia, is now a charming bed & breakfast with 5 suites. All with their own terrace, bathroom and fully equipped kitchen. But this is not all, the family now owns 3 townhouses in the historic town of Alcácer do Sal, 10 minutes by car, which are also rented out.
