Portugal has been on my list of must-visit countries since I made two short visits there while living in Spain during college. I have fond memories of very friendly people and drop dead gorgeous scenery, although I doubt the charming wooden trains are still in action. Now, this adorable small hotel in the historic town of Sintra is officially on the list. Many people visit Sintra as a day trip from Lisbon, but with all this medieval and Moorish architecture to see it only makes sense to spend a night, or two, or three. This hotel is centrally located but off the most busy street and includes breakfast. What’s even more amazing is that rates start at just about $100 per night.
