Hotel Paço de Vitorino

A restored 18th-century manor on the banks of the Lima River, with Baroque gardens that look like they've been waiting for a portrait painter. The 15 rooms across the main house and two garden wings lean into the period without apology, four-poster beds and carved headboards included. You can wander the grounds with an audio guide or an app, which is a graceful way to let centuries of history do the talking.
