Time to start planning those long weekend breaks and making the most of the bank holidays brought in by the New Year. ARTEH® has a few enticing suggestions at hand:
Enjoy a trip to the Azores to watch the whales and then relax by checking into on of the many ARTEH® Hotels there – Hotel do Colégio, Convento de Săo Francisco and Quinta das Mercęs.
Enjoy spending a weekend in Lisbon in a different way: dine on the Lisbon Seen from the Tejo Boat and afterwards retire to a relaxing evening at York House.
Travel to Marialva, settle into the Casas do Côro and enjoy visiting the cave paintings at Foz Côa or take the Historic Train on the Tua line and be awed by the breathtaking landscape. |
