“Lawrence's Hotel strikes me as a place steeped in genuine history, not just staged for show, it claims to be the second-oldest hotel in the world. I appreciate that it's right in the middle of Sintra, so popping out to the National Palace or finding a good restaurant is easy, and the rooms appear individually decorated with antique touches. It seems ideal for someone looking for an experience with character.”
