A Babymoon in Portugal
Thanks to decades of cinema, centuries of art, and millennia of history, everyone is more or less familiar with the fantasy of Italy. You think you know Italian food and Roman landmarks, but not until you arrive in the country do you realize that everything you thought you knew is really just the tip of an enormous iceberg. Every region—every town even—has a unique personality so no matter how many times you visit Italy, you’re always left with the craving for more.
Saudade is a uniquely Portuguese word to describe a deep longing for something. It’s a sensation with no easy translation, but you can hear it in the soulful voice of a fado musician, detect it in the vibrant colors of mosaics, or even savor it in a glass of sweet port wine. However you perceive it, you’ll already be feeling wistful saudade for your next trip to Portugal before boarding your flight back home.

Lisbon is one of the oldest cities in the world, although it was practically rebuilt from scratch after a 1755 earthquake. The only neighborhood to survive was the Alfama district, where cobbled streets and the sounds of fado music recall a nostalgic past. Throughout the rest of Lisbon, new restaurants and bars continue to reinvent the seaside city, often by serving modern takes on traditional tasca cuisine like fresh seafood, seasonal produce, and local wine.
Reminiscent of London and New York Town Houses, Valverde Hotel has a classic and elegant language, punctuated by contemporary furniture, works of art, objects and antiques.
It is these pieces, the light, the comfort of the fabrics and materials used, and the treatment of the space as if it were a residence, which intend to distinguish this from all other hotels that may exist in the surroundings, creating a unique place, like a “Oasis of comfort and discreet luxury”.
The Valverde Hotel welcomes leisure and business guests, offering a space in a kind of enlarged house, with a deeply intimate atmosphere.
After booking, Scenset will provide you with local restaurant recommendations at some of our favorite spots in town. Please let us know if you would like for us to make dinner reservations on your behalf.
