Accommodation on this day: Solar do Castelo
Day 12
Today we’ll transfer you to the airport for your return flight home.
Jeep Tours
Our jeep tours are the best way to explore those off the beaten track locations that you’d otherwise miss. Our guides will always have a plan for your day, but our tours are very relaxed and can be personalised to your particular interests.
Canyoning
Canyoning is one of the most popular pastimes in Portugal – a sport in which you scramble, jump, swim and abseil along a narrow river gorge. It’s a great sport for beginners and experts alike, and the Peneda-Gerês National Park in the north of country has some of the most beautiful rivers and canyoning routes in the whole of Portugal.
Guided tuk tuk city tour
Let the tuk tuk take the strain as you explore the seven hills of Lisbon in the company of our guides. You'll duck in and out of the tuk tuk to see the sights, architecture and history of this fascinating city. As it's electric, your guide can describe the passing streets to you as you travel to your next stopping point. The best possible introduction to Lisbon.
Food and wine
Portugal’s cuisine is very underrated. It’s always been wonderfully seasonal; an all important philosophy on food that the country’s never lost. As you’d expect, it’s also very regional; Lisbon has its famous crowd-pleasing dishes - the Pasteis de Bacalhau and Pasteis de Belem, but it’s down her narrow back-streets that you’ll find unexpected seasonal gems like coal-roasted blue lobster and Bulhao Pato clams.
Heading north, Porto’s famous Port wine Lodges are the gateway to the Douro Valley wine region. Portugal’s wines are some of the best in Europe however we don’t see them very often here in the UK as they don’t really produce enough for export. The rural heartlands of Alentejo also produce more amazing wines (including the unique ‘Invisivel’ - a white wine produced from red grapes), and arguably a superior Iberian Pork to their Spanish neighbours just across the border!
Horse riding
The Parque National da Peneda-Gerês is Portugal’s only National Park - a great way to explore the river valleys and high serras is on horseback, and there are trails to suit all abilities.
Cooking
Cook your own delicious meal under the watchful eye of expert chefs.
Kayaking
Kayaking is a wonderful way to experience Portugal’s beautiful waterways. The calm waters of the Caniçada reservoir in the north are perfect for beginners and younger children to get to grips with a kayak. For more experienced kayakers, the upstream rapids of the Cávado river offer some more challenging routes.
Solar do Castelo
Solar Do Castelo is a romantic boutique hotel in Lisbon created from an 18th century mansion built on the site of the former kitchens of the Royal Palace of São Jorge.
Arguably the best located hotel in the city, it’s also the only property within the medieval walls of São Jorge Castle, making it an exclusive and unique place to spend time in the beautiful city of Lisbon. To add to the feeling of exclusivity, only locals and taxis are allowed to drive the narrow streets within the city walls.
The furniture was created especially for the hotel and the rooms are elegantly decorated in a contemporary medieval style. A private patio garden with a pretty inner courtyard gives you space to relax within the heart of the city.
M’ar de Ar Aqueduto
The M’ar De Ar Aqueduto sits just within the ancient city walls of Évora, beside the 16th century Aqueduct that gives the hotel its name.
The hotel has been created by adapting and extending the original 15th century Sepulveda family palace, with the reception and dining room in the old building and the 64 guest rooms in the modern extension.
The inner courtyard of the hotel houses the outdoor pool and garden, which also incorporates a spa. Our favourite rooms are on the ground floor as each has a private terrace with direct access to the garden and pool.
It’s an ideal base from which to explore the historical city of Évora, and the surrounding countryside.
Torre de Palma Wine Hotel
The boutique and five star Torre de Palma Wine Hotel sits within the vineyards of the Torre de Palma estate, in the Alentejo wine sub-region of Portalegre.
There’s a rich history here at the Torre de Palma, reaching as far back as the Romans in the first to fourth centuries AD. In the 14th century the estate came under Crown ownership with a large manor house being built on the current site. In 2014 the remains of the 1338 house were restored into the boutique hotel you see today.
The rooms themselves are large, tasteful and light. On site there’s a spa, indoor and outdoor pool, a turkish bath, a restaurant and a horse riding centre. As well as the winery, of course, where you can sample the wines of the Estate, and the best of the wines from the wider Alentejo region.
Cooking and Nature Emotional Hotel
The name of the Cooking and Nature Emotional Hotel follows from the three aspects of the ethos, design and situation of this unique hotel.
Starting with Cooking, the hotel prides itself on it’s cuisine and you can choose either to learn to cook dishes from the menu yourself under the guidance of the trained staff, or choose to relax and be served meals in the more traditional way.
As a design hotel, the accommodation itself is of course modern and tasteful. The Emotional aspect of the hotel is reflected in the names given to the suites, from which the individual room decor takes its cue. From ‘Meditation’ to ‘Passion, and from ‘Surprise’ to ‘Nostalgia’, there’s a choice for everyone.
Situated in the heart of the Serras de Aire e Candeeiros Natural Park, Nature is all around. Walks and cycle rides start from the hotel into the Natural Park and if you’re here at the right time of year, you’ve even a chance to spy golden eagles.
