10-day itinerary

A private ten-day Portugal, composed with you.

Lisbon, Sintra, the Arrábida coast and the Alentejo — stitched into a single, unhurried private journey. Ten days is the shape most of our guests settle into; the exact days are composed with your travel designer once we know how you want it to feel.

How ten days usually shape up

The shape of the trip.

Every day here is drawn from experiences we already run. Nothing is a stock package. Your designer swaps, stretches or removes days so the itinerary matches your pace, appetites and travelling company.

  1. Days 1–2 · Arrival · Lisbon

    Lisbon at its quieter angles.

    Land, settle, and let the city arrive slowly. A private neighbourhood walk through Alfama or Príncipe Real, a table your driver-guide actually eats at, and — if the mood is right — a small Fado room away from the tourist rooms.

  2. Day 3 · Sintra · Cabo da Roca

    Palaces, then the edge of Europe.

    A private Sintra day paced for photography rather than queues — Pena, Quinta da Regaleira, and a long look at the Atlantic from Cabo da Roca before returning through Cascais.

  3. Day 4 · Arrábida · Sesimbra

    The coast most guests never see.

    South of the river, the Arrábida ridge falls straight into a Mediterranean-blue sea. A morning viewpoint, a fresh-fish lunch in Sesimbra, and time in a hidden cove.

  4. Day 5 · Azeitão · wine & cheese

    Small producers, generous tables.

    Two family wineries and a cheese producer near Azeitão — the kind our team drinks with on days off. Small pours, longer conversations.

  5. Days 6–7 · Alentejo · Évora

    UNESCO Évora and cork country.

    Overnight into the Alentejo. A private walk of Évora's old town, two family wineries in the surrounding countryside, and a long Alentejo lunch under vine cover.

  6. Day 8 · Alentejo · slow day

    A day for whichever direction the trip has taken.

    A quiet estate morning, an olive-oil producer, or an extra long lunch — the day your travel designer keeps open on purpose, and shapes with you once we know how the first week has felt.

  7. Day 9 · Return · Lisbon

    Back to the city, unhurried.

    Scenic route back to Lisbon with one stop along the way. Afternoon at leisure, then a private farewell dinner your designer books once we know the group.

  8. Day 10 · Departure

    Private transfer to the airport.

    Timed to your flight. If schedules allow, one last coffee at a bakery locals actually use.
