Portugal is a country located mostly on the Iberian Peninsula, in southern Europe. Due to its Mediterranean climate, it is a nice destination to visit all year long. Portugal has a special culture that has emerged throughout its history. The fascinating history can be felt not only when visiting big cities, but also visiting each of the small villages. Portugal is the perfect holiday destination for those looking for a balance between nature and culture. Nature in Portugal is still untouched and you will find different landscapes such as - cliffs, beaches, rugged mountains, and deserted natural parks. Sun, sea, and beach are three words that tourists love to hear when describing the destination. However, that's not it, there is so much more to discover!
Portugal's Mediterranean climate and many different landscapes create a variety of wildlife habitats. These places are home to many important ecosystems such as the maquis shrublands, grasslands, dunes, and rocky cliffs and wetlands like a bog, mire, and fen marshes in the estuary and lagoon systems. Another special ecosystem in Portugal is the extensive cork oak forests, also called montados. Montados are areas sparsely populated with trees, with the predominant species being the cork oak. They resulted from human agricultural activities, making it a cultural landscape with forestry-pastoral/savannah-like character. Even so, cork oak forests are one of the richest ecosystems in the world. If you want to explore the wildlife in a montado, Portugal is the place to go - it has the world's largest cork oak forest, representing a whole 34% of the total montado areas in the world. Some of these areas have been present for over three centuries. The montados are concentrated in the south of the country in just those four regions: Alentejo Central, Alentejo Litoral, Alto Alentejo and Lezíria do Tejo.
Other parts of Portugal with rich biodiversity are Mainland Portugal that has many birds of prey, along with the Madeira and Azores Archipelagos because of their volcanic origins. Overall, Portugal has 3,600 plant species, 69 terrestrial mammal, 313 bird, 17 amphibian and 34 reptile species. Portugal's special selection of animal and plant species is protected in classified Natural parks and reserves. In fact, the only National Park is Peneda-Gerês, located in Northern Portugal. Visit the park if you want to enjoy breathtaking landscapes between mountains and reservoirs with species like the wild garrano horse and the Castro Laboreiro dog breed. If you go further south you can reach the Alvão Natural park with some astonishing waterfalls like Fisgas de Ermelo. If you are passionate about birds, you can go to the Azibo Reservoir in Porto, northeast Portugal. It's the ideal place for bird watching, as well as some relaxing moments in the sun on the river beaches.
In Portugal the possible activities are endless! If you love cycling in Portugal, then you must cycle along the beautiful wine routes. If you prefer walking, then a nice walk around the neighbourhood to spot the native wildlife will be a relaxing activity. Another option is to drive to idyllic villages or towns near to your holiday home and discover places full of history. There are also plenty of impressive, natural swimming areas, so with a snorkel, you can even see the Portuguese underwater life up close.

We think that there are enough reasons to book a nice cottage in Portugal!
One of the most famous places in Algarve is the fairy-tale cave of Benagil. What is interesting about it is that it has a beach inside. Through a large hole in the stone at the top of the cave, you can still enjoy the sun in this cave. It is difficult to reach the Benagil Cave on foot; better via the water. You can also rent a kayak if you want to take on the challenge of sailing to this cave yourself. The advantage of this is that you have more freedom and are not constrained by the departure times of the boats. If you do not want to rent a kayak, but still want to stay in this magical place for as long as possible, you can choose to swim to the cave, but that is not advisable. Although the distance from the coast to the cave is not very large, you have to take the currents into account, which might be strong and put your life in danger. The Cave of Benagil has been named one of the most beautiful caves in the world by the Michelin Guide. You will definitely have a wonderful time during your short break in Portugal.

Portugal's location also explains its Mediterranean climate. However, the weather is not the same everywhere. In the north, it is a bit fresher and humid, while in the south it is generally dry and sunny all year round. The more inland and the closer to the Spanish border, the higher the temperature. Due to its pleasant climate, Portugal is an ideal holiday destination for both people who like to go out and those who prefer to spend some quiet time in and around their holiday home. If you are planning to stay in a holiday house in Portugal during one of the summer months, you can leave your umbrella at home, because in Portugal there is very little precipitation during that season.
Of course, you can choose from a huge variety of accommodations in Portugal for your stay. But what exactly makes it so much fun to choose a holiday home? A holiday home in Portugal is very cozy and gives you a homely feeling. You will really experience the holiday feeling, but you will still have all the luxury of your own home. Think for example of a fully fitted kitchen, with an oven or a dishwasher. What you can find differs per cottage, but with us, you can search for the specific features of the holiday home that you'd like to stay in.
If you choose a holiday home instead of a hotel or a large-scale holiday park, you will stay completely unbothered by the outside world. Away from the crowds and mass tourism, you can really enjoy the peace and quiet around you in private. Our cottages are at all times located in the middle of nature, which is of course very nice when you need a calming and relaxing short break in Portugal, surrounded by wilderness. It's great to wake up in the morning by the whistling birds, not cars and annoying noises from the street. You can even spot the wild animals outside your cottage once in a while! If you're not used to being alone, check out our homes in the small holiday parks in Portugal. There you can meet fellow nature lovers and explore the living world around you together.
Another great thing about a rental home is the fact that you are with your family in the morning and don't have to bother with unwanted company. For example, you can have breakfast in the garden or on the terrace when the weather is nice. If you are tired in the evening from a long day full of new discoveries, then you can also relax together on the couch. When you stay in a hotel, you often don't have a separate area to relax and you can't just watch TV or just enjoy your day together.
