Accommodation in Portugal
During your trip to Portugal you can stay in different kinds of accommodation to enhance your experience of this stunning European destination. From a night under canvas during our glamping experience, to historic tiled townhouses and rural farms. We use a hand-picked selection of guesthouses, hotels and B&Bs wherever we can, avoiding international chains, to give you a local and authentic experience when it comes to where you stay.
How it works
We use a hand-picked selection of smaller hotels wherever we can, avoiding international chains, to give you a local and authentic experience when it comes to where you stay. As hotels in Portugal don’t always fit in with European star ratings, we’ve created our own categories so you know what you can expect from your trip.
Here’s what to expect from your Rickshaw accommodation:
Our standard option will give you small-scale charm full of local character in great locations. From boutique city hotels, to country houses, the majority of our accommodation fits in this category (category 3). We try to use small-scale, locally owned places wherever we can to give you an authentic flavour of the areas you are visiting.
In-Style accommodation - Category 4
If you’re looking for accommodation with a bit more comfort, then our In Style options should be right up your street. In this category, you can expect a little extra something in terms of facilities, design or service, maybe a jacuzzi or pool. We have upgrades in many of our destinations so just let your travel specialist know if you would prefer this level of accommodation.
Special stay
Think lavish rooms in old Castelos steeped in history and an extra level of comfort and style. Our Special Stay properties deliver just that, a little extra sprinkling of special features and feel.
Simple accommodation - Category 2 (or 1)
This category covers some of our more simple options like rural Quintas or glamping in the Alentejo region. There is still a minimal level of comfort and amenities but this category is alll about the experience and location. Here you will get close to nature, meet the locals and experience a different perspective of Portugal.
Tailoring your holiday
When planning your Portugal holiday, your travel specialist will talk you through the places you’ll stay and will be happy to request alternatives and upgrades to suit your needs.
