About this trip
Discover the magic of Portugal at your leisure on our slowcation... Wander through Sintra’s romantic streets and stop for a pastéis de nata (egg tart). Explore Lisbon’s vast history with a glass of port along the River Tagus. At the end of the day, return home to a 19th-century estate surrounded by verdant gardens and a Moorish castle. Travel at a slower pace so you won't have to fit everything in just a few days and can truly enjoy your vacation!
Historic home: Your base is a 150-year-old hotel that is steeped in history and surrounded by enchanted gardens. Best of all, it’s just a 10-minute walk into town!
Portugal like a local: Step beyond the tourist trail and immerse yourself in local traditions — Watch artisans craft cheese at a family-run dairy, paint your own traditional tile, and stroll through the serene landscapes of a cork plantation.
Fairytale castles: The mystical castles & colorful streets of Sintra are straight out of a fairytale and are bound to leave you in awe.
