Dinner - Fado Farewell Dinner together
Tonight’s farewell dinner will be accompanied by an authentic fado performance—a perfect finale to our Soirée Extension!

For those of you departing today, we’ll provide complimentary transfers to the airport at any time that suits your schedule.

However, for those who wish to linger a bit longer and explore more of Lisbon and its surrounding treasures, we’re offering the option for a custom-designed extension to your extension! Conley & Silvers can create a personalized itinerary, such as a day trip to the enchanting castles of Sintra (though be warned, the secret of spellbinding Sintra is out, so we’ll help you navigate the crowds to the best of our ability). For nature lovers looking to avoid the crowds, we suggest a day trip to the wild beaches and cliffs along the Arrábida coastline or day trip to Nazaré, home to the big wave surfers.

The C&S extension design and concierge service is available at a special rate of $300 per day per household, which includes the organization of guides, drivers, tickets, reservations, and more (though the cost of experiences will vary depending on group preferences). Should you wish to extend your stay at the hotel, the rate is approximately €500 per night, depending on room category and occupancy. If more than one household is interested in the same activities, we’ll offer the opportunity to share the tour and split the costs. 

Whenever you decide to depart, your airport transfer to the Lisbon airport is included as a part of the cost of the Soirée.
