Palmela » Portugal Montado Hotel & Golf Resort The Montado Hotel & Golf Resort is located on Portugal’s Costa Azul, near the Castle of Palmela. Surrounded by vineyards that lead the production of the famous wine region of Palmela/Setúbal (City of the wine in 2009) and developed harmoniously in a setting of cork trees, where streams and lakes add to the magical beauty of this resort, the golf course has been carefully inserted into a stunning landscape and is noted for its 18th hole, with the green located on an island. It is just 30 minutes south of Lisbon, one of Europe’s most stylish and historic capitals, and less than a three-hour flight from major European capitals. This resort is the only one in this region that has a golf course (18 holes) and accommodation, making it perfect for those who enjoy golf and want to stay alongside the course. There are eight golf courses in the neighbourhood, all less than 30 minutes by car, while there are beaches just a 20-minutes drive away. It’s the ideal combination for a golf vacation or days of laid-back leisure.  ample golf package: S View the website for special offers. www.montadoresort.com /MontadoResort/ Top 100 Stay & Play 2016 61
