If you’re looking for inspiration for your next family holiday, look no further. I’ve done all the hard work for you, and put together my favourite holiday rental homes in Portugal, all perfect for a family holiday.
I’ve hand-picked houses in my favourite places in Portugal, all full of character, but all still in spots yet to be discovered by masses of tourists. Each house has a unique décor, ranging from modern to rustic, and landscapes such as the lush Minho coast, the sunny (but quiet) Western Algarve, or historical Évora, you’re bound to fall in love with one of these places.
For a map of Portugal with all the location highlighted, please see the bottom of the post.
Don’t forget that if you decide to book, you can save yourself €23 on your first booking by using our airbnb invitation.
