Pure Portugal Holidays

Central Portugal, the Beiras, Alentejo and the Silver Coast, a land of wild mountains, hidden valleys, clean rivers & lakes, ancient forests and long sandy beaches - the pure Portugal. Here you will find a wide variety of unique holiday accommodation, places to stay surrounded by peace and tranquility and the traditionally relaxed Portuguese way of life.

Pure Portugal Holidays include: relaxing amongst the vines and olives on a vegetarian owned quinta; horse riding and trekking in the picturesque wooded hills of the Gois valley; self-catering apartments in an historic watermill on the River Alvoço; bed & breakfast or rent an off-the-grid solar powered cottage overlooking the beautiful Rio Mondego; low-impact breaks, discovering yurt camping on an organic smallholding; and luxury rooms in a manor house once owned by the mother of the first king of Portugal.

You can also volunteer on an organic farm, explore the fantastic network of peaceful mountain tracks, swim & fish in crystal clear rivers or the beaches of the Silver Coast & Algarve, visit the lively local markets, ski in the Serra de Estrela or simply relax in the sun, by the pool.
Pure Portugal has something different to offer everyone, including a growing selection of longterm accommodation and winter lets, and holidays with ADSL.

Although most of our holidays are in central portugal (Beiras and Alentejo), some very special places on the Algarve are now listed with us, particularly near Monchique. Not your usual run-of-the-mill villas!
