While some towns and cities in Portugal have an entire post dedicated to helping you choose the best area and accommodation, my tips on where to stay for smaller places are often tucked away at the end of articles.
If you already know where you want to be based for your Portugal trip, use these buttons to head straight to selected hotels, apartments and guesthouses in specific destinations.

Options for longer stays
If you’re considering a longer stay, for example checking out a specific area or town before re-locating there, I recommend Flatio. They’re a rental housing platform offering hand-picked, mostly deposit-free, and reasonably priced accommodations in over 300 destinations, mainly in Europe. What sets Flatio apart from similar platforms is that it offers lawyer-verified, legally binding lease agreements that can be used as proof of address and for visa purposes.
