Penha Longa has recently received a facelift under the management of Ritz Carlton, improving upon this impressive five star deluxe hotel. Located at the foothills of the Sintra mountains, and the shadow of the famous Pena Palace, some 3 kilometres from the main town. The Portuguese royalty have frequented Penha Longa for over four hundred years dating back to the 14th century, to this day the hotel is freqnented by an array of Portugal royal and foreign dignatories. Within the grounds are two golf courses, a landmark monastry, lush gardens and a luxurious Spa- all designed in a Palazzo style. Staying at Penha Longa is an experience second to none, history, golf and the very best in luxury accommodation, what more could you ask.
