Loulé Jardim Hotel

The Algarve


Overlooking a pretty square, this late-19th-century building has 52 spacious, airy rooms in contemporary creams and beiges. Book ahead for the suite with a large private terrace, which requires a two-night minimum stay. There's a small saltwater pool with sunloungers, and breakfast, served in a glass-roofed atrium, is a substantial affair.
