This place was so wonderful that I wish I could keep it a secret just for ourselves. During our eight-day stay, we felt completely at ease and at home. There are three good-sized bedrooms, with plenty of natural light, and comfortable beds. The cleanliness of the house was impeccable, and having two beautiful bathrooms was a real convenience.
Given the scorching heat of late August in Lisbon, the air conditioning in the house was a true blessing, allowing for restful sleep. We particularly relished the quiet nights.
We loved our routine of gathering in the kitchen for coffee. The terrace, a highlight of the place, was the perfect setting for evening wine and family chats, with a splendid view of the Tagus River. We loved listening to the soothing sounds of Lisbon at night and savored the enticing aromas wafting from nearby bakeries.
Several restaurants and mini markets are within walking distance, and reaching Lisbon city center is a mere 10-minute Uber ride away. The train and metro systems are easily accessible as well.
Our host, Margarida, was wonderful. She cares about her guests and understands hospitality. Prior to our arrival, she prepared information about Lisbon, Sintra and Cascais, to make our stay comfortable. She greeted us with a lovely bottle of red wine. She struck the perfect balance between being available, while respecting our privacy. Margarida's hospitality is truly remarkable.
We can’t wait to be back. Obrigada, Margarida.
