Tivoli Sintra Hotel

Discover heaven on Earth in the beautiful town of Sintra, Portugal. Aka “this glorious Eden”, as described by Lord Byron. Or “the most blessed spot on this habitable globe”, according to fellow poet Southey.

Perfectly located in the town centre, the four-star Tivoli Sintra supplies the ideal base for exploring the wonders of a place classified by UNESCO as a world-heritage site in 1995. Stroll through the charming narrow streets, gasp in disbelief at the amazing array of beautifully-preserved architecture or simply inhale the fresh mountain air.

Previously a retreat for the Portuguese royalty and the Moorish rulers before them, contemporary Sintra offers the perfect destination for a romantic getaway. Take a horse-drawn carriage to visit the Castelo dos Mouros, the Castle of the Moors. Or marvel at the various palaces, looking as if they’re straight out of a Disney film.
