We just finalized the details for a fabulous trip to Spain & Portugal this fall, and we couldn’t resist having them check into the Tivoli Avenida Liberdade Lisboa. Honestly, it’s an absolute dream!

Located on Lisbon’s most glamorous, tree-lined avenue, the Tivoli is the perfect mix of old-school European elegance and relaxed, modern luxury. It has an effortlessly chic vibe that makes you feel like an insider the moment you walk through the door. Our clients are going to love winding down at the SEEN Rooftop Bar with a cocktail in hand and the entire city skyline laid out in front of them after a day of exploring.

And by booking with the J5 team we can add complimentary daily breakfast, a nice room upgrade, and a $100 hotel credit to use toward dinner or drinks by the pool.

If a Portuguese getaway is on your radar, let’s chat. We've got some great spots we've love for you to experience first hand!

Unpopular opinion: We love Italy, but we actively advise our clients not to go in July or August. 🇮🇹

To put it bluntly, peak summer means intense heat, massive crowds, and premium price tags. Unless you are heading way off the beaten path, it's a completely different experience than the Italian dream you're picturing.

We truly believe that when you go is just as critical as where you go.

We completely understand that strict schedules happen due to work or school. But if you have even a sliver of flexibility, let us know. It allows us to do what we do best: give you our trademark honest advice and custom-tailor a flawless trip. 🛠️✨

🎁 Complimentary room upgrade (upon availability)
