And there’s a perfect base to do just that, the Tivoli Palácio de Seteais, an 18th-century Portuguese palace turned hotel. The grandeur of this 30-room property, paired with all the contemporary comforts, is what makes it the sweet spot for sybarites. The iconic Sintra tram connects the town to the famous Praia das Maçãs beach, for magnificent vistas. For a whiff of Sintra’s royal history, head to the iconic National Palace of Sintra, a medieval landmark, and the mazes and gardens of the quirky Quinta da Regaleira. For a sweet ending to your Sintra escape, have a wine tasting at the jewelbox Seteais Colares DOC room before retreating into your royal chambers.
