Wintering in Ferragudo - February
Wake up to river views. Your base to explore the Algarve.
Ferragudo is a quietly beautiful riverside town on the banks of the Rio Arade. The AH Riverside hotel was once a sardine cannery — today it's one of the most characterful places to wake up in the Algarve. River views from your terrace, boats drifting by, the old town a short walk away.
Great facilities and the train just 10 minutes on foot — Lagos, Silves, Portimão and beyond, all within easy reach on your free days.
Accommodatie
AH Riverside is for those who want comfort without compromise — and the freedom to explore. A beautifully restored sardine cannery on the banks of Rio Arade, with river views, full spa facilities and a train station 10 minutes on foot. Wake up, have breakfast on the terrace, watch the boats go by. Then go wherever you feel like.

Programma
Embark on unforgettable hikes through breathtaking landscapes and stunning scenery.
Our intermediate-level trails typically cover around 12 kilometers, with shorter and longer options available to suit every pace. Expect an average of 200 meters of climbing, so a basic level of fitness is recommended.
Some paths are gentle and easy-going, while others offer a bit more of a challenge with longer stretches or trickier terrain, like soft sand or loose rocks. But don’t worry, we leave no man behind!
→ The river path from the hotel is one of Kiki's favourite morning walks.
→ We will offer a cut-off or shorter version of the hikes if possible. We're happy to try our best to make sure everyone can join.
