What area of Portugal are you thinking of visiting?

You will probably save even more if you book the flights direct with the airline than through On the Beach. For accommodation you might find it quite difficult or expensive, Portugal has sold incredibly well this summer, Alpha Rooms usually have some decent apartments, if it is villas then Homestay, James Villas or Ocean Villas have a wide range of accommodation

Perhaps also include Spain's Costa de la Luz in your search, fly to Seville or Jerez and then get the train or hire a car.

DON'T book flights through on the beach! They can't be cheaper than direct with the airline.

So anywhere in Portugal depending on which airport you're flying to.

Hi, we have a villa in Oporto. It's about 25 minutes drive from the airport, south of the city.
It's about 5 miles into the city centre and 4 miles to the seaside.
We have a garage, so no extra charges for parking.
It's very quite but at the same time with really good access to the city, the beach and the rest of the country. (you can be in Spain in less than 2 hours, Lisbon in 3 hours).


Porto is widely famous for the Port wine; we have a beautiful mediaeval downtown area, breath taking river cruises, 2 bridges by Eiffel and miles of sandy beaches (all blue flags in my side of town

Since the poster is flying to Faro, Oporto, nice though it is, is not within an hours drive, more like 6 hours on the train!
