Places to stay within 125 miles of Lisbon

Measured in a straight line from the centre of Lisbon. That is a distance, not a journey. We know where each of these places is to within a few metres and we know nothing whatever about the roads, so this page will not tell you how long anything takes — and neither will any page that dresses a straight line up as “two hours away”.

East into the upper Alentejo, or south down the Atlantic side towards the Algarve. A short list, and short for a reason worth saying out loud: the Portuguese list is one of the smallest on the site, so this page is less a filtered subset of it than a good part of the whole thing.

3 places, from Gavião Nature Village at about 80 miles out to The Lemon Lodge at about 100 miles.

How this page is worked out

We take the coordinates on each published listing, measure the great-circle distance from a single point in Lisbon to each of them, keep everything inside 125 miles and sort nearest first. Distances are rounded to the nearest five miles, because a city centre is a convention rather than a coordinate and the second decimal place would be pretending otherwise.

84 of the 85 published listings carry coordinates. The one that does not cannot appear here at all — a place with no pin has no distance, and estimating one from its county would be an invention.

From another city

Only cities with three or more places inside 125 miles get a page — the same floor the collections keep. Or ignore geography and filter all 85 places instead.
