The Valverde Hotel in Lisbon is a gem for oh-so many reasons, including the lush courtyard garden that’s a placid sanctuary smack in the middle of the buzzing city. It’s centrally locally on the Avenida da Liberdade.
Everything is classy, even the hallways.
The hotel is often described as an oasis, which it is. The hotel feels like a townhouse that’s peaceful and serene with numerous public rooms replete with art.
The Chateau Inn and Suites in Spring Lake, New Jersey is perfectly located across the street from the lake where you can jog the loop around the periphery.
During my visit, I was struck by the delightful array of lights radiating from around the facade during the holidays.
The tangle of trees surrounding Spring Lake is part of what makes jogging around the periphery so magical.
For me, Spring Lake is dreamy any time of the year, but especially in winter.
Spring Lake, New Jersey couldn’t be more beguiling year-round, but especially during the holidays. Spanning the namesake lake, a duo of historic wooden footbridges — that date from the late 1800s — are decked in lights.
The almost two-mile-long boardwalk beckons walkers and joggers year-round who delight in the scenic views of sea, sky and sand.
