Le Meridien Penina,
Alvor, Algarve, Portugal |
 |
|
|
|
|
One of Europe's most famous golf resorts and with a loyal following, the Penina is a most elegant and welcoming hotel.
Despite much modernisation and refurbishment over the years including a total refurbishment of the rooms in early 2008, the hotel has kept its unique charm and personality. If you can drag yourselves away from the superb leisure and golf facilities here, the pretty village of Alvor with its lovely beach and excellent selection of restaurants and shops is just five minutes drive away, and the interesting towns of Lagos and Portimao are just ten minutes from the resort. We know guests who visit Penina twice or more every year; such is the attraction! Penina Championship course has been a regular venue for the PGA Tour's Portuguese Open. |
