Charm Nature
Elevated eco-luxe
Living in Sintra
Overlooking what was once thought of as the edge of the world, a sense of untamed remoteness still hangs in the air at Charm Nature hotel. Swathes of eco-friendly cork and knotty pine also add to this hillside retreat’s cosy alpine-lodge feel. It’s tucked between the rugged Atlantic coast and lush Sintra Natural Park, offering a broad array of outdoorsy fun, from top-notch surfing to forest-bathing rambles. But if getting horizontal is high on your holiday agenda, just flop on a squishy lounger for poolside tipples and those sweeping end-of-the-world ocean vistas.
Food & Drink
Top Table
Over the balmier months you’ll want to snag a table on the terrace from where you can usually just about make out a strip of shimmering ocean. If the weather turns, head inside and grab a spot close to the log-burning stove.

Hotel Restaurant
They take breakfast seriously at Charm Nature’s restaurant with a treat-y menu centred around belly-fillers like bacon and maple syrup pancakes and brioche with scrambled eggs and cheese. The restaurant reopens for lunch with a menu largely of plump pillowy burritos and big colourful salads. Be sure to leave some space to squeeze in one of their cacao-rich sweet-potato brownies for dessert.
Hotel Bar
There is a simple bar just off the lobby, but most guests take their drinks lounging around the pool, hanging out in the games room, or warming up in the fire pit lounge area. Choose from a selection of classic cocktails, a couple signature concoctions, and a good pick of Portuguese wines.
Last Orders
The restaurant closes at 3.30pm during the week and 4.30pm at the weekend.
