October 28, 2021 By Ilonka Molijn

When: October 2021, half-term school break

How many nights: 4

With whom: family of four (2 adults, and 2 teens of 15 and 17) 

Which room type: 2 x Deluxe Natural Park View, connecting rooms

The Weather: Amazingly warm, around 23℃, ideal for sunbathing and golfing!

 


Just a short 30-minute drive from Lisbon Airport, in a serene national park, resides our family’s favorite and much-beloved vacation retreat.

We’ve stayed at the resort two times before, once in August 2013 and once in April 2018. Since our last stay, some very nice additions were added. 

  • the Interpretation Centre – an educational center inside an old dovecote where both kids and adults can learn all about species still living in the surroundings
  • Historical Circuit – a trainer guides you on this 60-minute wellness activity and takes you to the famous Penha Longa, meaning Long Rock. My smartwatch didn’t miss the physical challenge of going up the steep trail! The trail is followed by a tour of the Monastery and Japanese Gardens at the Spa. 
  • A life-size Chessboard in the gardens near B-Lounge
  • Extension of the outdoor playground with challenging parkour for kids
