Luxury holidays in São Teotónio
Let the days slip away in Alentejo’s red-roofed region of São Teotónio, where blueberries bloom in nearby farms, locals totter about afternoon tasks and golden-sand beaches fill with flocking sunseekers. After a morning wandering along cobblestone streets freckled with old mosaic, past branco buildings and pastel-painted homes, head to the shores of Zambujeira do Mar for a siesta on the sand. Don’t worry, there’s something for action lovers as well; ride through the region’s verdant landscapes on the Algarve Trail, or cycle one of the many secluded routes through neighbouring towns and traditional Portuguese villages.
When to go
The best weather hits São Teotónio from May to November, when temperatures are pleasant and rain is minimal. If you’re hoping for a slightly quieter trip, it may be better to head to Alentejo outside of the July to August holiday period.
