Bordoy Grand House Algarve, Av. da República 171, 8900-203 Vila Real de Santo António, Portugal

Nestled on the easternmost tip of the Algarve, at the mouth of the Guadiana River, lies the charming town of Vila Real de Santo António. Here, a relaxed, riverside pace defines life, with a grid of broad, tree-lined avenues and stately Pombaline architecture that evokes a bygone era. The town serves as an ideal base for exploring the region's natural beauty and beyond. You'll find you’re not far from the town of Castro Marim and Vila Real de Santo António Marsh Natural Reserve, perfect for peaceful walks and birdwatching. Golf enthusiasts will also appreciate the proximity to some of the Algarve's best golf courses, while a short drive reveals soft, sandy beaches like Praia de Santo António.

For a truly unique day trip, simply take a short ferry ride across the river to the neighbouring Spanish town of Ayamonte.
