Charming Hotels Walking Holiday

This luxury walking holiday takes you to some of the most unexplored places along the south West coast and countryside of Portugal – exploring untouched landscapes by day and enjoying Mediterranean flavours by night.

Along the way you’ll stay in three carefully selected Charming Hotels, these  are the Alentejo version of a UK Boutique hotel, elegant and rustic in style. Privately owned and restored with love and care these traditional rural houses are renowned locally for their hospitality and are often family run and always full of warmth, style and charm.

“The most memorable part of our holiday was seeing storks on their nests. Walking along magnificent cliffs with the Atlantic Ocean crashing below. Walking through Eucalyptus and Cork-Oak woodland.” Harvey May
