PORTUGUESE FOOD & DRINK • The sardine is an emblematic symbol of Portuguese cuisine. From the north to the south and all summer long (sardine season), outside private homes, at local festivals and in restaurants, you will see many street charcoal fires like this…

Portugal has been closely related to the Atlantic Ocean for many centuries and fishing and eating seafood are very much part of the culture.

POSTCARD FROM PORTUGAL • Quinta da Regaleira is a historic estate set within the World Heritage Site of Sintra, known for its elaborate gardens and mystical architectural elements.

Walking around the beautiful grounds there are various follies to explore, including the Initiation Well, perhaps one of the most famous attractions in all of Sintra.

Its mysterious design, without any clear purpose, is a source of fascination. Looking up from the bottom of the well at the circular patch of sky above, it looks like a tower built into the ground. But in reality, this tower is more symbolic than utilitarian. Carvalho Monteiro, a notable Free Mason, had built it for spiritual reasons.

POSTCARD FROM PORTUGAL • The traditional Alentejo chimney is long, rectangular and white washed - its size usually represented the social status of who ordered it to be built.

Inside the building, the chimney gives way to a large open fireplace with a surrounding seating area - this is where the family would gather to kept warm during the cold winter months but it was also the smoke room of the house - over the embers, sticks were used to hang and smoke sausages.

PORTUGUESE FOOD & WINE • The sun-drenched Alentejo region in southern Portugal boasts wines that will surprise you for their excellence, as well as their value for money. The white wines are aromatic and fresh whilst the red wines are more intense and full-bodied.

We recently visited , where despite some modernization, work rhythms remain largely unaltered since the late XIX century: grapes are hand-picked and crushing continues to be done by foot, then pressed in manual ancient basket presses, which produce low yields of the highest quality.

As well as table wines Mouchão produces a selection of fortified wines, olive oil and wild honey, all of which you can buy from the shop.

Fun Fact: The “vinha da dourada” vineyard you can see (last picture), already appears on a 1894 site map of the estate.

POSTCARD FROM PORTUGAL • Lace-trimmed chimneys resembling minarets are a traditional symbol of the Algarve!

Once made by skilled masons and each unique in its design, they are a reminder of the Arabic influence in the region, even though they first appeared in the 19th century long after the moors disappeared.

Many modern houses of today will feature similar styles, but these are now mass-produced, and it is hard to find anyone skilled enough to build an original chimney.

Our Story

Portugal has much to offer as a holiday destination – a rich sea faring past and historic heritage, modern city life and sleepy villages, mild winters and hot summers, golden sandy beaches swept clean by Atlantic tides and countryside landscapes of vineyards and wild flowers, almond, orange, olive and cork trees. A wide range of leisure sports from surfing to golf rate highly with our visitors; and World Heritage Sites such as Évora and Elvas in the Alentejo, Sintra on the Lisbon Coast, and the stunning Douro Valley top the must-visit list. And then there is the delicious gastronomy and value for money wines, as well as the extremely friendly Portuguese people.

There is no shortage of holiday rentals in Portugal available through mainstream travel agents and tour operators, but its specialists like AB Villa Rentals based in Lisbon, who have the edge on local knowledge and are therefore able to give you the best advice about where, why, and when to go. Our selection of luxury villas, charming cottages and unique apartments, stretch from the north to the south of Portugal.

The name AB or Almond Blossom Villa Rentals, pays homage to the spectacular vistas of that grace both the north and south of Portugal in late winter and early spring. Almond trees were originally planted during the Moorish occupation and when they flourish, they cover the horizon with a pink tinted snow-like mantle and fill the air with a sweet fragrance.
