You must be outside of Europe then and your statement just earns pity from all in the know.

Lisbon is one of the hottest capitals in Europe and value for money is unbeatable in this lovely country. People are consistently hospitable and there are sites like the Douro valley with its man made terraces as impressive as the Chinese Wall.

However the tourism in Portugal is not really high end and Aman would have to offer kind of a circuit. There is one struggling R&C luxury property in the Douro valley which is simply out of price for the place. You can get perfect rooms in Portuygal for about EUR 200 which would cost the double in Italy.
