Near some of the city's prettiest parks, this boutique hotel in an elegant town house is a little removed from the hustle and bustle. The guest rooms are small but tastefully decorated, in modern neutral tones. As you linger over the complimentary breakfast buffet, your friendly hosts can help organize activities in the region, including walks in Serra da Estrela and Serra do Caramulo.
At this working winery, about 18 km (10 miles) southeast of Viseu, you can reserve either modern apartments or antiques-filled rooms in a 19th-century manor house. The historic main building has a stone-clad sitting room outfitted with chandeliers and a fireplace. The friendly owners will happily arrange tastings of the wines produced on-site. This area is famous for its birdlife: partridges, hoopoes, and red kites are just a few of the species you might spot here.
