Your Lisbon luxury escape is best experienced from Valverde Lisboa Hotel & Garden. Located in the Avenida da Liberdade, in the most aristocratic of Lisbon’s neighborhoods, Valverde Hotel—a Relais & Chateaux gem—reminds one of London and New York’s town houses, with its classic and elegant style, contemporary furniture, works of art, and antiques.
The rest of the day is yours to spend at your leisure recovering from your international flight.
Your introduction to the city comes via a private guided walking tour, with new experiences unfolding in each new neighborhood. Taste local chocolate and coffee, enjoy a delicious lunch, sample a cup of sherry liqueur, all the while with the charm of a medieval city and the pulse of a modern hub ever present.
This evening, become an active participant in your dinner in the Graça area, shopping with a local chef before enjoying a private cooking lesson in the chef's home.
Your Lisbon luxury escape explores they city's artistic side next, with a private guided visit to the workshops and museum of the Decorative Art Foundation.
Later, Alfama's ancient quarter shelters a number of galleries, all of which are yours to explore with private access.
