The Romantic Villa Built for the Last King of Italy

The Grande Real Villa Italia Hotel and Spa in Cascais, Portugal, has been named Europe's most romantic destination of 2025. Sweeping seaside views, a Roman bath-inspired spa, and serene ocean- or garden-side suites will provide the romantic getaway you've been searching for. But behind all the amore is the story of the May King, the rise and fall of Italian fascism, and the end of the Italian monarchy.Follow us: TikTok | Instagram | Pinterest | YouTube👩🏽‍🤝‍👩🏻 Want to collaborate?📰 Sign up for our free newsletter, The CHECK-IN.📖 Join our free book club here.📚 Shop our bookshelves here.* Support indie bookstores!☕️ You can support Hotel History (and our caffeine addiction) here or on Patreon.🎶 Music:La Vita Bella by Albert Behar from Uppbeat (free for creators!)License code: WJVO3IPT9LFLBUPK
