TOP BOUTIQUE HOTELS IN PORTUGAL

L’AND VINEYARDS RESORT, ALENTEJO

In a region where black pigs still roam free under oak trees and storks nest on ancient bell towers, a striking new hotel has opened in a series of low-slung, white, modernist buildings set among vineyards. The warm, earth-toned interiors by Brazilian architect Marcio Kogan are dominated by wood and slate, with bespoke pieces such as a distinctive bench by George Nakashima.

The 22 wonderfully spacious L’AND View and Sky View rooms emphasise the natural, with wooden-slatted walls, raw textiles and huge baths crafted in slate. The technology is up-to-date, with iPads and iPod docks; in the Sky View Suites, ceilings roll back electronically to reveal the starry night sky. In the restaurant, chef Miguel Laffan uses great local ingredients – sheep’s cheese, porco preto horse mackerel – to produce sophisticated knock-outs, such as shrimps encrusted with threads of batter. The sommelier hosts tastings of the vineyards’ own, very drinkable red Reserva and there is a restful Vinothérapie Spa by Caudalíe.

AREIAS DO SEIXO, COSTA DE PRATA

Tired of never finding a hotel they liked, Marta Fonseca and Gonfalon Laves set about creating one, 30 minutes’ drive north of Lisbon. They wanted it to be environmentally friendly, and small enough to feel like a home. With an unerring artistic eye, they have incorporated driftwood from the beaches into their designs and built around trees where necessary (my bathroom had an olive tree in the middle of it) in 14 bedrooms which use geothermal energy and solar power. Each is decorated differently: some suggest Marta’s maternal Cape Verde home, others the African savannah. All have polished cement floors and pebble walls, soft quilts and open fires or wood-burning stoves. From your private wooden deck you can gaze at the distant blue ocean. The warm atmosphere created by the owners emanates throughout the hotel. It is reflected in the home-cooked food served in the bare-board-chic restaurant, the campfire evenings when guests can gather as Marta plays the guitar, and the honesty bars. There is a garden, a greenhouse where lemongrass is grown for home-brewed tea, a swimming pool and a spa. A private path takes you across the cliffs and down to the beach. Magical.

BELA VISTA HOTEL & SPA, ALGARVE

This 19th-century beauty on magnificent Praia da Rocha was converted from a private house into the first hotel to open on the Algarve, in 1934. Although now hemmed in by concrete monstrosities, it nonetheless retains its prime beachfront position, and once you are through the high, wrought-iron entrance gates it is impossible not to get swept up by its century-old charms. The bar and sitting areas in the main building, which also has 11 bedrooms, feel delightfully like a jewel-box, encrusted with old-fashioned artifacts. The original decor includes painted, wooden ceilings and wonderful wall tiles; for a recent refurbishment the acclaimed designer Grace Vitter has used bold colors and striking materials to create a Miami-meets-the-Mediterranean (via the Atlantic) feel. In the grounds is a six-bedroom villa, Casa Azul, and a new, two-storey extension with a further 20 bedrooms overlooking the chic swimming pool framed by stately palms. A gorgeous L’Occitane spa – another impressive Viterbo design – opened in March, and innovative Portuguese dishes by chef Rogério Calhau, such as fennel gazpacho with a prawn tartare and red mullet with saffron potatoes, can be munched on while watching the waves wash in.

Algarve remains cheapest holiday destination for UK tourists

The Algarve has been named the cheapest destination for UK tourists in 2017, a year that may be defined by the “currency conscious holiday”.

The popular Portuguese region has topped Post Office Travel Money’s worldwide holiday costs barometer for the second year running. The survey looks at the average price of tourist staples at 44 resorts and cities.

In the Algarve, the average price of a three-course evening meal for two, including a bottle of house wine, is £18.27 – more than £150 cheaper than the equivalent meal in Dubai (the most expensive destination) and half the price of similar European tourist spots, such as Corfu or Malta.

Sunny Beach, Bulgaria, was the second-best-value resort, where a bottle of local beer costs 69p and an evening meal for two £23.15. In third place is Spain’s Costa del Sol, which has seen a drop in local prices over the last year.

Other good-value destinations include Marmaris in Turkey, Prague and Budapest, where a meal costs around £30 and a bottle of beer about £2.

Outside of Europe, destinations such as Cape Town and Cancun, Mexico, continue to offer good value for money, with the weak peso and stable prices being a factor in Cancun’s affordability. One surprise entry is Tokyo, which is ranked eight best-value destination, ahead of other Asian cities and resorts. In Tokyo the average price of an evening meal is £37.96, making it the best value long-haul destination this year.

According to the survey, this is the result of prices falling in Tokyo over the past two years following an economic downturn. While the yen has risen in value over the past year – particularly against the pound, post-Brexit referendum– costs have still remained low in Tokyo.

James Mundy from Inside Japan Tours is surprised it is among the cheapest destinations, but says it is a misconception that Japan is an expensive destination.

“Japan has always been good value despite the reputation as ‘an expensive country,’” he says.

“Once you have paid for flights and accommodation, eating out in Japan and travelling around is relatively good value. There are some great options for eating out – such as all you can eat and drink at a traditional izakaya for around £30.”

While the falling value of the pound will have affected UK tourists’ spending power abroad, Post Office Travel Money says this is only part of the picture, with local costs playing a far bigger role in how far the holiday budget stretches. This is one reason why Portugal continues to be among the most affordable: the local price of a meal is down almost 5% year-on-year. Bulgaria has also seen a 1.5% fall in local prices, while the Costa del Sol has experienced a 3% drop.

Andrew Brown of Post Office Travel Money said: “Europe is looking unbeatable value with nine of this year’s 10 cheapest destinations, not to mention local price falls in half the European resorts and cities we surveyed.”

He added: “Further afield, Tokyo and Cancun are good bets for bargain hunters but don’t discount Cape Town or Bali. If the rand and rupiah fall in value, low costs on the ground could make these great choices too.”

According to another report released this week by hotel booking site trivago.co.uk, there is a similar disparity of prices between different cities within the UK.

It found Blackpool to be the cheapest place in the UK for hotel accommodation, with an average price of £63 a night in 2016. This is followed by Great Yarmouth and Scarborough, at £72 and £80 respectively.

Unsurprisingly, London was found to be the most expensive destination, with an average hotel price of £156 a night, followed by Bath, Oxford and Cambridge, with prices between £130-£144.
