“Occupying a renovated 15th-century palace near Lisbon, this hotel strikes a perfect balance of historical charm and contemporary sophistication; plus, rooms are uniquely themed around Portuguese poetry, adding an unexpected layer of local culture. Its location near Paço de Arcos Beach and a train station makes it ideal for both relaxation and city excursions, not forgetting the gourmet dining and wellness facilities, for a restful retreat. In my opinion, it's a delightful alternative to the city centre bustle.”
