Hotel Tivoli Palácio de Seteais, Sintra

Live like royalty during your stay at the five-star Tivoli Palácio de Seteais. Housed in a luxurious 18th century palace perched on a mountainside above the beautiful town of Sintra, which UNESCO classifies as a world heritage site, the hotel enjoys a truly fairy tale setting.

With opulent interior decor to match the grandeur of the exterior, the extraordinary paintings, tapestries and frescos ensure any banquet held here really is fit for a king.

After a year of extensive restoration, the hotel reopened its doors in 2009, and today boasts all the comforts and amenities of the 21st century. All the furniture, most of which dates from the 18th century, was restored in a project conceptualised by the Ricardo do Espírito Santo Silva Foundation (FRESS). The work involved 13 art studios and approximately 40 experts in different areas. The Palácio de Seteais collection comprises approximately 2.000 pieces, belonging to different artistic areas, such as furniture, lighting, textiles, tapestries, paintings, murals, engravings and porcelain. FRESS considers Seteais a superb example of how such a restoration should be done.

Perfect for a honeymoon or wedding anniversary, the Palácio de Seteais is likewise ideal for a surprise romantic break. So why not whisk off the Prince Charming or Princess in your life to the hotel of their dreams?
