An absolute highlight of our stay in Lisbon. From the moment we arrived, the entire staff was incredibly warm, friendly, and helpful. The hotel itself is stunningly beautiful with wonderful, thoughtful touches throughout the property, yet it somehow manages to feel completely comfortable—like staying at the home of a close friend or family member. The breakfast was wonderful each morning. A special thank you to the owners, Gail and Miles, who carefully oversee every single detail and have a wonderful way of warmly reviving guests with a smile, while perfectly balancing being attentive without ever being intrusive. The property is in a wonderful location and served as the perfect headquarters for all of our Lisbon adventures. We would return in a heartbeat and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the city!
