Bag a table on its leafy terrace for the smuggest sundowners and pestiscos Portuguese tapas , surveying the rooftops of your lively Bairro Alto locale.

Pops of colour and pattern come from Burel Factory bed throws, hand-woven Alentejan cushions and framed graphic prints. Another classy touch: the fridge comes stocked with complimentary wine, beer and soft drinks.
Homemade cakes and local cheeses feature in the breakfast buffet alongside a concise list of made-to-order items. When temperatures rise, a refreshing gazpacho with strawberries and cucumber hits the spot. This basement bolt hole also offers a sauna, steam room and gym, with personal training sessions available upon request.
From the list of tempting pampering treatments, prioritise one of the seasonal specials, such as a tinglingly cool peppermint oil massage during summertime.
