With a generous terrace area, multiple balconies, a lush green lawn and a private pool, there are plenty of places to top up your tan here as the Portuguese sun shines down.

If you get peckish on your sunny stroll into town, worry not, there are eateries and bars galore to provide the sustenance you need for that all-important spot of relaxing you have planned.
