Alastair Sawday's Special Places to Stay Portugal

Here is the key to Portugal's loveliest places and friendliest people. From the Algarve to the Minho, we take you to manor houses, monasteries, old farms, hotels and simple retreats. Take in the people: artists, farmers, wine makers, young and old, formal and informal - and all delightful; walls of granite and marble, tiled, paneled, corniced, ivy-clad, defensive and ancient; houses - yellow, whitewashed, blue, towered, turreted, trim, modest, ravishing, elegant and simple. Carthaginians, Romans, Moors and pirates enjoyed these places. From the enchantingly old-fashioned to the eccentrically modern - the best of Portugal is here. Each entry has color photographs, regional maps, precise directions and much, much more.Sawday, Alastair is the author of 'Alastair Sawday's Special Places to Stay Portugal', published 2003 under ISBN 9780762725533 and ISBN 0762725532.
