I'm going to Lisbon in a few weeks. Any suggestions where to stay?

Question

My husband and I are in our late 20's and would really like to be in a quiet area (not necessarily boring) but also not in major party areas. We are going there to relax, get some sun, eat some good food and drink some wine. Any ideas about areas in the city?

You might want to consider staying at the Sofitel Lisbon on the Avenida da Liberdade.  I stayed there two years ago with my wife, it is an excellent hotel in a ideal location.  It is in the center of Lisbon if you want to walk through local shops they are within a few minutes of the hotel.  Also, if you are renting a car this location is fantastic because you either turn right or left and in five minutes you will be on a major thru-way which will carry you out of the city center.
