History blends with romance at this gorgeous, 19th-century Viscount’s palace – now a sumptuous 5-star hotel – set in sub-tropical gardens just outside Lisbon.

Thoughtfully renovated to retain the palace’s original style, it combines original Portuguese 19th-century style with art deco, colonial and native Pombaline styles.

Set in sub-tropical gardens, it has an outdoor pool and a spa, gorgeous views towards the river, and luxurious Portuguese furniture and fabrics.

Buses link it to the centre; the Janelas Verdes and church and garden of Estrela are in walking distance.

It’s ideal for romantic couples on a city break, but families are very welcome, too.
