"Set in a neoclassical palace, this elegant hotel is surrounded by manicured grounds and offers gourmet dining, local wine and stunning mountain views."

Stay in an 18th-century palace while enjoying picturesque grounds and sweeping views at the Palácio de Seteais Valverde Sintra. Originally constructed in 1787, the palace was originally home to Portuguese royalty until it was converted into a hotel in 1955, and it is now a popular choice for celebrity guests including Brad Pitt and Mick Jagger. The hotel's mountainside setting treats guests to picturesque views, including those of the Pena Palace and the Moorish Castle, which are both within a ten-minute drive. The hotel is just a 15-minute drive from the charming town of Sintra, seven minutes from the natural wonders at Sintra-Cascais Natural Park and 30 minutes from Lisbon.

Antique furnishings add historic charm to the 30 guest rooms, each of which features a Nespresso machine and tea kettle, a spacious marble bathroom, high ceilings, evening turndown service and stunning mountain or garden views. Stretching 47 square metres, the Presidential Suite is the hotel's most luxurious with a separate living area, where you can stretch out on an antique red velvet sofa, and a spacious balcony from where you can enjoy panoramic views.

Start your morning with a breakfast buffet featuring fresh fruit and local cheeses at Seteais Restaurant, which also offers traditional Portuguese cuisine for lunch and dinner, both in the sophisticated dining room and out on the terrace. Take an afternoon break for the Queen's Tea, which offers over a dozen tea varieties, fresh-baked scones, finger sandwiches and the option to add a glass of champagne, or visit the Seteais Colares DOC room for a unique wine tasting experience featuring local Colares wines paired with tapas or a gourmet dinner. Sip a classic cocktail in the bar, or pick up a glass of wine to savour on the terrace while you enjoy fresh air and mountain views.

When you’re ready to relax, visit Anantara Spa to refresh yourself with Vichy shower therapy, get an acupressure massage or enjoy an organic green coffee body wrap. Enjoy handmade ice cream in seasonal flavours alongside the sparkling outdoor pool, which offers views of the Atlantic Ocean, or explore the winding hedge mazes and landscaped gardens, where you will sometimes see the culinary team picking fresh herbs to use in the on-site restaurants.
