When it's cold outside, do you fancy a tea and a blanket? All About Portugal has a better suggestion. Remember the wish list and resolutions you made earlier in the year? Let's talk about the one where you promised to treat yourself better. Isn't that one of your wishes? It should. Do not forget that "mens sana in corporare sano" (a sound mind in a sound body) is the first step to achieve all other goals. Choose one of these hotels with an indoor pool, authentic winter retreats, and take the opportunity to relax, have a massage, drink a hot drink and recharge your batteries.
