Xmas in Cornwall

HOLIDAYMAKERS who want to escape to a Christmas-free zone this, er, Christmas, would be wise to avoid the Gwel an Mor resort in Portreath on #Cornwall’s north coast. 

From November 28, its 5* self-catering lodges will have the full works, Xmas decorations-wise, and there’ll be seasonal festivities, activities, and parties for children and adults up to and beyond December 25. 

Children can meet Santa in his grotto, and see reindeer at the resort's Feadon Farm wildlife centre. 

Sleeping up to six guests, the lodges have flat screen TVs, broadband access, balconies, and power showers … and some have hot tubs and log burners. 

The resort has a swimming pool and health and beauty spa, and a restaurant for guests who have quite enough #self-catering.

The lucky honeymooners can look forward to:

  sightseeing

Luxury in Lisbon

A PROJECT to turn the 500-year-old Palacio dos Condes de Lumiares into 5-star luxury serviced apartments has started in #Lisbon, #Portugal.

The plan includes the restoration of the facade of the historic family palace – the only element that remains from the original 16th century building – as well as a complete re-build of the interior.

The Lumiares will include a spa and gym, and a roof-top bar and restaurant.
