Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    This was by far the most beautiful place we stayed in portugal! Great location, quiet, and a beautiful colorful artsy apartment with balcony. Andreia gave us the sweetest reception ever and also helped us figure out some details of our trip. We arrived by bike and there is a storage rooms where the bikes can be kept safely.
