Hotel Deals Country Page http://www.octopustravel.com/Enter.jsp?start=HotDealLink.Action&cnty=GB&itemTy pe=HH&Country=E&Currency=EUR This will take the user to the OCTUK site direct to the country GB, the item type will be HH for hotels, AA for apartments.

However underneath there is a "Click here" to view more properties, if you use the link above and replace the country code then you could be taken directly to the search page and avoid one click. Please try it with the above using cnty=P+ and you will see it takes you to Portugal properties...
