Casa de São Mamede

This 18th-century, family-run villa has class: from the red carpet gracing the stained-glass-topped staircase to the tinkling chandeliers in the exquisitely tiled breakfast room. Out of the 26 large and serene rooms, 20 have been given a modern refurbishment, with regal period-esque furnishings and updated baths with hardwood flooring. It’s a short stroll from Bairro Alto and Jardim Botânico.
