Discover
Portugal is not just one place. It is lived in different landscapes, rhythms and stories. At Wine & Books Hotels, each location is an invitation to discover a different way of being.
Porto
Between the river, the wine and the word
Porto has a strong identity and a deep soul. The city lies between the Douro River and the Atlantic Ocean, built of stone, tradition and authenticity. Here, everything seems to have weight – the stories, the flavours, the words. It is a city that reveals itself slowly, in sloping alleys, wine cellars, lingering tables and conversations that stretch into the night.
Discovering
- Ribeira and banks of the Douro
- Port wine cellars
- Historical and contemporary architecture
- Intense, unpretentious cuisine
Lisbon
The city that is written on hills
Lisbon is made up of layers – historical, cultural and emotional. A city of hills, viewpoints and streets that whisper stories. Here, the past and present coexist naturally, among old cafés, bookshops, trams and the ever-present Tagus River. It is a city to be explored on foot, without a fixed map, allowing yourself to get lost in order to find your way.
Discovering
- Historic neighbourhoods and viewpoints
- Museums, bookshops and cultural venues
- Cafés, bakeries and tables with a view
- The Tagus as a permanent backdrop
Sintra
Where imagination meets the mountains
Sintra is a place apart. Between soft mists and dense vegetation, the mountains shelter palaces, gardens, and almost unreal stories. Here, time slows down and nature asserts itself with elegance.
It is a romantic and contemplative refuge, ideal for those seeking silence, inspiration, and beauty in its purest form.
To discover
- Palaces and historic estates
- Gardens, trails and paths in the mountains
- The historic centre and its traditions
- A mystical and timeless atmosphere
Algarve
Where time follows the rhythm of the sea
In the Algarve, the light is more intense, the horizon more open, and the days stretch out unhurriedly. Between golden cliffs and the ever-present Atlantic, this is a place made for long breaks, simple flavours and pleasant silence. Here, Portugal reveals its most sensory side – walks by the sea, warm afternoons that stretch until sunset, peaceful nights lulled by the sound of the waves.
Discovering
- Indented beaches and hidden coves
- Coastal trails and scenic walks
- Atlantic cuisine, fresh fish and salt pans
- Sunset over the ocean
