As the summer gradually draws to its end, why not come to Portugal. We invite you to enjoy a dip in the sea or an evening stroll in the most golden of sunsets.

In the Algarve, all you have to do is choose the beach you prefer – a sheltered cove or a vast expanse of sand. And relax, of course. But, if it is nature that most inspires you, then you can always travel to the Azores and let yourself become immersed in its lush green environment. The islands are the perfect setting for enjoying that special moment.

During your stay, make sure to savour the delights of our excellent cuisine. September is the month when the grapes are harvested and is an ideal time for discovering all about our long traditions in winemaking. Whether you’re enjoying the comfort of the manor houses and estates of the Douro Valley, letting yourself be seduced by the charm of the Alentejo hotels or appreciating the style of the island of Madeira, toast your partner with a glass of one of our best wines as you prepare to enjoy the full flavour of our special Portuguese gastronomy.

Don't waste any time. Days of pure romance are awaiting for you.
