Generous breakfasts are a highlight; as is the weekly communal table dinner.
- Palacio Ramalhete has a traditional, old-world feel. Housed in a restored 17th-century building in the chic Janelas Verdes neighbourhood, this 12-bedroom boutique hotel features original ceramic tiles, antique furnishings and rich linens. Book a suite for a romantic break, complete with a crackling fireplace. Drinks by the pool or in the cosy bar are a delight, depending on the season.

Guest rooms are characterful and attractive, with beautiful tiles, warm pops of colour and high ceilings. The wellness spaces are brilliant for rejuvenating treatments, too. Great for couples.
- Sublime Lisboa is an elegant 20th century townhouse with guest rooms decorated in warm golden yellow and red tones. Set in the heart of the Amoreiras neighbourhood, this 15-bedroom hotel has a retro-chic feel, plus an excellent Mediterranean restaurant and opportunities for private yoga and terrace massages. Lovely and romantic.
- Hotel das Amoreiras really is one for lovers. With just 19 guest rooms fusing classic elegance with modern touches, the hotel is a tranquil oasis in the historic Jardim das Amoreiras.
