Portugal is a small country with many fascinating aspects, ideal for a fly-drive holiday enabling you to see the places of interest at your own pace. Cars are provided on an unlimited mileage basis, collected at the airport on arrival and left at the airport on departure: any combination of Faro, Lisbon or Porto airports may be used, depending on the itinerary decided upon.

We have selected our accommodation in towns of character affording access to nearby points of special interest, but please bear in mind that the town hotels are not necessarily in secluded or quiet locations. Don’t forget you can combine just about all our holidays: spend a week in a resort and another touring, book accommodation for one week and car for two weeks, complement a fly-drive itinerary with a stay on an island in the Azores or Madeira.

 

On this page you will find several itineraries using Hotels, Manor houses and Pousadas or a mixture of all three which give you an idea of the scope available. But, feel free to plan your own route – we are only too pleased to help.
