A Cottage is a small country house, usually located in rural areas or next to nature. Cottages usually have a cosy and rustic style, with materials such as wood and stone predominating in their construction.

Every Wednesday we present a hotel with charm. And this time to discover the first hybrid construction hotel in Portugal.
