PORTUGAL

SPAIN

Rooms in Portugal come with

a view, as well as considerable

historic and architectural

heft. While state-run pousadas

(inns), housed in old palaces

or convents, remain a unique

experience, many newer lodges

outdo them with cutting-edge

spas and the chance to partake

in agro-tourism. —JK

Martinhal Sagres Beach

Family Resort

This upscale resort caters to

multigenerational travelers.

Adults can sip cocktails as kids

provides strollers, high chairs,

or bottle sterilizers. martinhal

LISBON

Verride Palácio

Santa Catarina

This recently renovated man-

sion with 19 rooms has one of

the best vantage points in all

of Lisbon, perched above the

steep cobblestoned alleys of the

Bica neighborhood. verridesc.pt

DOURO VALLEY

Quinta Do Vallado

Wine Hotel

For the quintessence of

Portugal’s wine country, this

13-room wine-estate hotel

makes for the perfect frame

to view the magnificent Douro

Valley. Guests sleep in either

the manor house dating from

1733 or a new wing completed

in 2012, both options set amid

the sloping terraces of ripening

vines. quintadovallado.com

ALENTEJO

São Lourenço do Barrocal

Surprisingly, it’s in the country-

side that many of Portugal’s most

daring architects have worked

their minimalist magic. A humble

working farm near Monsaraz

transformed by Eduardo Souto

de Moura, the São Lourenço do

Barrocal pampers with spare

simplicity. barrocal.pt
