Within easy reach of the market town of Lagoa and the beaches and entertainment of Carvoeiro, Porches is the ideal base for your luxury holiday. Porches is a traditional Portuguese village which, even with a few modern additions on the outskirts, has retained its charm; the elaborately decorated chimneys on the old houses are a particular feature of the local architecture, which is also reflected in Porches' luxury hotels. Famous throughout the whole of Portugal for its pottery, Porches features many shops, where you can see the potters at work and buy lovely handcrafted ceramics.
