WHY WE LIKE THIS HOTEL

Penha Longa Resort is a stunning location sprawled over 545 acres of a National Park on the southern Sintra Mountains. It includes an opulent hotel, a nineteenth-century palace originally founded as a monastery in the fourteenth century, 8 exceptional restaurants, 27 spectacular golf holes that are dotted around the forest and a stunning spa. In the past, it used to serve as a retreat for the Royal Family of Portugal. The resort’s luxury accommodations are designed in an earth-inspired palette and are complemented by the greenery of Portugal’s Sintra-Cascais Natural Park. All accommodations are spacious and have a private balcony, while the suites come with a living and dining area. The well-regarded Japanese restaurant Midori and the intimate dining experience at Lab by Sergi Arola, a chef who cut his teeth at the famous El Bulli restaurant in Spain, are the foodie highlights of the resort. This spectacular hotel and destination in itself, is not only worth staying but at least visiting for lunch or dinner.

This is just one of the hotels that we recommend in this area. If your favourite is not featured just let your consultant know – we will be happy to book it for you!
