Alfama Fun and Relaxation

Pedro and Ana provided great communications and we appreciated how they accommodated our schedule. The apartment is beautifully appointed and had everything we needed. The area was quite lively as we were there during Saint Anthony's Day celebration (so much fun) but inside was quiet. The patio and pool was the perfect place to start and end our busy days.

The apartment was so well appointed and so much more than the pictures gave hint too. The host Bruno was very welcoming and answered all of our questions. He had a bottle of Port and treats waiting for us. My only caution is the apartment is up three flights of stairs- and it is not a climb for the faint of heart. We loved the location and enjoyed the garden so much.

Magnificent appartment in the heart of Alfama

This was an wonderful and impeccable appartment. Decorated with care, well maintained and spacious. Everything was as advertised and more. The outdoor space was great to have a cocktail or a swim after a long day of walking. Very conveniently located to get around to everything whether it's Praça de Comércio, Sao Jao Castle or Avenida de Liberdade. But the best part was the house manager Pedro who was one of top host we have delt with. The most organized ever for sure and always responsive, ready to help you. Would highly recommend.

From the moment we arrived we were warmly welcomed, assisted with luggage, and a thorough check in proceeded. Ana, her husband and Bruno exceeded customer expectations.The apartment is stunning! No detail overlooked. Spotlessly clean, with all amenities provided including a warm welcome gift. We felt relaxed, safe, almost like staying in a little private quiet castle all to ourselves.The private lap pool was a real treat and most appreciated after a day of sight seeing.Thank you for your warm, genuine and generous hospitality. You made our trip to Lisbon a memorable one.You truely went above and beyond! We will be back!Yours in TourismNicole and Fiona from Australia

New York Visitors

Our stay was amazing. Pedro was absolutely fabulous even before we arrived. Pedro answered all of my emails full of questions and was so helpful and accommodating. He also arranged a driver to pick us up from the airport, who was also awesome and we ended up using him throughout our stay. The apartment was beautiful, clean, and centrally located. Pedro greeted us at our arrival with delicious port wine and pasteries and imparted all his knowledge of the locale area and explained all the apartment amenities. His dinner recommendations were delicious as well. We enjoyed relaxing in our own private pool after a busy day of sight seeing. I would highly recommend this fabulous apartment and host .

Perfect for a city break in Lisbon

Firstly I'd like to thank Bruno who greeted us on arrival, we were delayed over four hours at Lisbon Airport. The property is perfect, I work in interior design and the eye for detail these owners have is exceptional! The small garden and pool are a welcome retreat from the bustle of the city. The folder of information is clearly laid out with details of all the local amenities a massive benefit if your new to the city. We were lucky that Bruno could be flexible with our check out which we were grateful for, he even organised our transport to and from the airport. The apartment is in a great location easy access to the trams and buses and very close to the castle. All in all I cant find fault with this property and the guys that care for it and their guests. Many thanks Bruno and hopefully we will be back again in the future. Many thanks David and Denise

The best apartment I have ever stayed. Excellent hosts.

I travel a lot and visited Lisbon a lot of times, so I can consider myself as an expert :-) I must say that Ana and her apartment were the best ever. Location is superb, just in the heart of the historical center of Lisbon, great to discover the city by walking, very close to Alfama, the castle and with so many good places to eat, amazing viewpoints, and yet in a very quiet, safe and truly local surrounding. Close at hand you can find everything you might want, such as grocery, supermarket, pharmacies, wine bars, several cafes, just everything you need. Talking about the apartment itself, it was spotlessly clean, spacious, decorated with a very good taste and has all the necessary equipment, iron, washer and drier, dishwasher, air conditioner in every room, nice tableware and Nespresso machine. We had very good sleep there, the bedding was very comfortable. The best part was to have a drink in the private garden and the temperature of the swimming pool was just perfect! Ana was super friendly! She was in the apartment waiting for us with freshly cooked pasteis de nata and some port wine! If you are looking for a perfect place to stay in Lisbon, this is the place! I am sure that I will return to this apartment.

A better apartment than all expectations

Yes the apartment is better than all expectations but beyond that Courtesymorning is exceptional. They were waiting for me with a wonderful portuguese tart and port wine and they answered all my questions and gave me very good suggestions. The apartment is very well furnished, with a rare design that I had never met until today in my many trips. The location is very good. Near the castle and downtown. I have no doubt recommending to my friends and I am looking forward coming back next time
