There’s an excellent range of good-value, inviting accommodation in Portugal. Budget places provide some of Western Europe’s cheapest rooms, while you’ll find atmospheric accommodation in farms, palaces, castles, mansions and rustic town houses – usually giving good mileage for your euro.
Turismos (tourist offices) hold lists of accommodation and quartos (private rooms), but they overlook anywhere not registered with them – which can sometimes be excellent options. The government grades accommodation with a star system that’s bewildering and best ignored. Good websites for browsing include www.manorhouses.com and www.innsofportugal.com.
