We enjoyed our holiday in Portugal very much, the weather was mostly perfect and the scenery was dramatic and delightful. We particularly enjoyed the mix of walking and relaxation. We would definitely like to visit again.
The accommodations were very comfortable, clean and of a high standard. The hosts were all super friendly and helpful, breakfast and evening meals were fresh, tasty and well prepared. The logistics of travelling around, being dropped off and picked up, and our luggage transportation all happened smoothly and without any stress for us.
We particularly enjoyed the (-), where professional chef Nuno cooked us two excellent meals. At Vila Nova de Milfontes, although our accommodation at (-) was fine, we were the only guests in the complex and it was a bit boring. We would have preferred to stay in the lovely town or alternatively we could have stayed longer at the (-), where the rooms and ambience were superb. We loved the animals and relaxed atmosphere at the (-). All in all we are very satisfied.
Some things we would recommend to fellow Portugal newbies .....
In Lisbon we found that (-) did not quite live up to the promise of the photos. The terrace is fantastic but the rooms we had could benefit from a freshen up. Next time in Lisbon we would try and go for somewhere with a bit more style I think.
As hiking novices we found the first Etappe on the Fischerpfad extremely tiring. It was super hot and walking in soft sand for 18 km really pushed us to the limit of endurance. Might make sense to work on shortening this trip for some.
Make sure train tickets are booked well in advance. We were lucky to get the last available seats on our journey to Funcheira.
Best regards from Family Holland in Berlin
