Lawrence´s Hotel The oldest hotel in the Iberian Peninsula has been restored to make it one of the leading small hotels in the world.
All the bedrooms are individually named, and all have king size beds (2 metres by 2 metres).
Guests shouldn't be surprised of finding familiar faces: in the first year after renovation, the visitors included two queens and two heads of state; one regular visitor is a former president of the United States.
Guests should also be prepared for delightful surprises organized by the owners: once, for instance, visitors were asked to be available for the evening and to meet in the lounge; at the appointed time, horse drawn carriages took them all to an opera which was being performed in Sintra.

A small fruit farm near Azóia, within the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park, in a valley of luxuriant subtropical vegetation. It is encircled by hills, giving a Mediterranean microclimate with the cooler air of the Atlantic coast; the small river Touro runs down the valley to the nearby sea.
