My favorite place to stay near Lisbon isn’t actually in Lisbon — it’s just outside the city, but close enough for any taxi to take you there.
It’s a hidden gem called Fortaleza do Guincho and it’s home to a stunning hotel and Michelin-star restaurant that feels like stepping into a fairytale.
It’s literally a castle on a rocky bluff looking onto the ocean.
Imagine waking up to (or dining by) one of Europe’s most spectacular shores, with pristine sand, exhilarating winds perfect for paragliders and surfers, and an ambiance that feels both wild and luxurious.
The backdrop? The breathtaking Sintra mountains.
Fortaleza do Guincho is in a league of its own, offering an unforgettable mix of nature, adventure, and elegance.
The contrast between the area’s roaring coast and the bustling city of Lisbon is striking.
