An individually planned holiday in a private holiday house in Portugal gives you a great opportunity to feel the spirit of the land and its people instead of spending all your time among innumerable tourists. You can decide on your own whether you wish to relax in a swimming pool of your pool villa or rather drive your car to a deserted bathing bay. In the evening, you can either plan a delicious barbecue on the terrace with a sea view, or let yourself be served in one of nearby restaurants and afterwards watch a picturesque sunset over the Atlantic Ocean.

In big cities like Lisbon and Porto we also offer typical and inexpensive hotels and guest houses. However, for families with children a holiday house or apartment is often more convenient as you can prepare meals on your own, and the price for two double rooms even in a modest hotel or guest house is higher. In any case, children feel really very well in Portugal as the Portuguese people are strikingly fond of children. In Portugal we also provide accommodation for those who wish to spend a holiday with their pet animals, and offer homes where arrival with a cat or dog is allowed.

Sunshine and astonishing geographical diversity makes Portugal a worthwhile travel destination. The Portuguese coast is a paradise for all those who enjoy bathing in the sea. There are plenty opportunities of doing water sports. Beautiful waves form in long sandy beaches where you have good conditions to go surfing. That is why surf courses are highly recommendable. There are also a lot of small bays in Portugal where the surf is weak and where you can peacefully enjoy swimming, bathing or snorkelling. At low tide, innumerable rocks emerge from under the water surface and you can catch shellfish, urchins, starfish and crabs.

You will also find the best conditions for fishing and diving in Portugal. An ambitious golf player will discover superb golf courses and can rent out a spacious pool villa or an elegant country house from us in their neighbourhood. Alternatively, there are luxurious holiday resorts and exclusive hotels at your disposal. Hikers will find fantastic hiking tracks close to unspoilt nature in Madeira and the Azores. Renting out a solitary located holiday house in the middle of untouched nature is an ideal starting point for a successful hiking holiday.

Our website provides an extensive offer of various types of accommodation. Apart from standard holiday homes, pool villas and holiday apartments, you will find rustic farm houses, traditional country houses, splendidly constructed wind mills and, in big cities, centrally located city apartments. All places are obviously furnished and equipped with all required facilities. Ed linen and towels are provided and included in the price. On site a German- or English-speaking contact person is always available.

Portugal is one of the oldest European cultures. Its proud history is reflected in numerous castles, mansions, old churches and monasteries. You can find influence of Roman and Arabic culture everywhere. The wonderful town of Obidos (photo on the left) is surrounded by huge city walls and within them you can feel as if moved centuries back in time. It is nothing but small alleys and lanes that give insight into the rich tradition of Portuguese culture. You can often find such delightful places all over Portugal.

Although most of houses and apartments we offer are located in not very much tourist developed areas, it does not do any wrong to a holiday maker. There are good restaurants and cafés, where you can have an inexpensive meal and drink. Nevertheless, you can easily cater for yourself, using a well equipped kitchen in the house or apartment of your choice. There are grocery stores and drogeries in every village. In larger towns you will find banks, post offices, chemist's, and hospitals.

It is a good idea to go to Portugal in your own car or rent a car on the spot, however, public means of transport also offer good service. There are good, reliable and inexpensive bus connections. In big cities you can also rely on taxis, as prices are quite moderate. You should not miss the opportunity to take a ride with the typical Lisbon tram as well.
If you belong to those individual holiday makers who are not interested in a typical seaside holiday and wish to get to know the traditional life of the local people, our holiday homes and apartments are truly best for you.
