Hotels with Spa in Santo Isidoro

My husband and I stayed at Immerso for four days this past May and hated to leave. We have traveled the length and breadth of this beautiful country for some 17 journeys starting in 1996 and each year gets better and better. I discovered Immerso somewhat by accident through one of our favorite restaurants in Lisboa – Loco, another wonderful experience (or, I should say, “experiences”) and its executive chef, Alexandre Silva. There are so many reasons we loved our stay: • Quiet country location with a beautiful view to the ocean • Calm décor and comfortable rooms • Exquisite food and service • Friendliness and attentiveness of staff Since the flight from Boston usually arrives in Lisboa between 5 and 5:30 am, it has been a dilemma of what to do before most hotels allow check-in. In the past, when touring by rental car, we could plan a diversion along the way. Now, we prefer using a private service which delivers us directly to our chosen destinations. The staff at Immerso warmly welcomed us in the early morning hour, took our luggage, directed us to the lovely, comfortable lounge and offered us delicious coffee. They also appeared to expedite servicing our room so that we were able to access it well before the mid-afternoon check-in time. There is a nice “hike” down the hill to the “bottom” of the property … a little too steep for my newly-replaced knee this trip, but perhaps next trip, as we will most assuredly return to this quiet oasis.
