Set on one of Lisbon’s seven hills, with the old town at its feet and the castle and the river beyond, this place is totally removed from the bustle of the city. It’s great for romantic night-time views – so long as you don’t mind skimping on modern facilities. The rooms are simple, decorated in pink and white, and have free Wi-Fi. The pricier air-conditioned ones have balconies with beautiful views, but breakfast for all guests is in the top-floor café-bar and terrace, which boasts a heart-stopping vista.
The hotel lacks a restaurant, but there’s a range of dining options close by, including Via Graça and Haweli Tandoori, plus room service is available.
