I've always loved hotels. This is why I ended up studying hospitality at Les Roches International School of Hotel Management and working for Starwood, Kempinski and Mandarin Oriental.
I've been a Portugal specialist since 2019 and have lived in Lisbon since 2022. This means that I've had the opportunity to stay in and inspect some wonderful properties over the years.
Here I'm sharing a collection of some of my favorite hotels.

Portugal boasts some of the best wine in the world with around 250 native grape varieties, so it’s no wonder there’s a never ending supply of producers and sellers.
Here’s a curated list of where to get the best red, white, rosé, natty, orange, clarete, or pet nat in the city:

Tascas are the heart of Portuguese cuisine.
They’re the lifeblood.
They’re the no fuss, local joint, people watching, grandma’s cooking type of place.
You can’t leave Portugal without going to at least one tasca for lunch, ok?
And I’ve made it easier for you because these are the best:
Btw, order a plate of the day. Don’t ask the waiter what’s best on the menu because it’s all good.
Maybe the dish will be out of your comfort zone but isn’t that what traveling is all about?
* A plate of the day (Prato do dia) usually comes with a main course, dessert, and coffee
** Bring cash with you just in case they don’t take card!
Bom apetite!

There are secret islands in the middle of the North Atlantic Ocean. Nine of them, actually. The Azores are an autonomous region of Portugal, even though they're nearly 900 miles off the coast of Lisbon. Mount Pico, on the island of Pico, is actually the highest point in the European country. The volcanic archipelago is covered with farmland. Small fishing communities line the coasts. Travelers were first introduced to the remote islands when they became a refueling stop for flights between Europe and North America. Direct flights from Boston and New York eventually followed.
The Azores are finally being discovered by North Americans without Portuguese heritage. It's about time. Ponta Delgada, the little capital, mixes historic buildings with modern hotels and restaurants. São Miguel, the main island, is full of hiking trails and hot springs. Pico Island is famous for its wine. While seven other islands are just waiting to be explored. With mild climate, thanks to the jet stream, the Azores are a year-round destination. Go before the secret gets out.
This detailed guide includes:
Places: islands, cities, neighborhoods, towns, hidden villages
Stay: hotels
Eat: bakeries, coffee shops, ice cream stands, pizzerias, restaurants, teahouses
Drink: beach bars, rooftop bars, tapas bars, wineries
Do: abandoned hotels, aqueducts, bamboo groves, beaches, botanical gardens, bridges, chapels, churches, fountains, fumaroles, gardens, gates, hikes, lakes, marinas, mountains, natural swimming pools, nature preserves, public parks, roads, sculptures, squares, statues, tourist offices, UNESCO World Heritage Sites, viewpoints, windmills
Transportation: airports, car rentals, ferries, parking lots

This is a mini guide to Sintra, Portugal. I HIGHLY recommend spending a night or even two in Sintra instead of just passing through on a day trip.
Sintra, Portugal is a magical place. It is the town where royalty spent their summers, and it shows! The fact that it is just about 45 minutes from Lisbon makes it even better, it is so easily accessible. I have been to Sintra twice and I still haven’t seen it all. The first time I went, it was just a for day trip and just wished I had more time. The second time, we stayed overnight and I still found myself wishing I had more time! I would advise spending a night or even a weekend in Sintra.
The town of Sintra itself is charming and easy to walk around and enjoy. During my first time there, I didn’t even get to explore the town because we got off the train, grabbed lunch, and immediately started walking up to the Pena Palace. It was like a tease to only be able to explore a small portion of this gorgeous city, so for my second visit to Sintra, I didn’t make that same mistake. We enjoyed spending our time walking around and checking out all of the pastry shops, little bars, cute stores, and restaurants.
In this guide you'll find all of my favorite spots, as well as where to stay, what to do, and what I STILL think I would do if I visit again!

Most of my travels I did as a solo female traveller. And hostels were often the best option - cheap, safe, great places to meet another traveller.
