Maria and her house are full of style and charm. The rooms are spotless and full of carefully selected items which gave the place its own style and not some anonymous corporate hotel chain experience.
You are in a great location in the Graca district, near to a main square with cafes, shops and restaurants. It is a nice residential area and you can catch the 28 tram from here or meander down the narrow streets into the main centre within 15 minutes.
The terrace at the back of house is secluded, incredibly peaceful with stunning views across to the castle and wooded hills. You sit on the terrace enjoying a fantastic breakfast - freshly squeezed orange juice, selection of breads, cakes, cheese, eggs and meats - it is a beautiful start to your day. Lola (Maria's small schnauzer) comes to check you are enjoying yourself and for some fuss if you want to provide it.
Maria and her friendly team are there if you need help and advice at any point, or let you get on with your stay. They really helped us to do some fantastic things - taking a friend's boat at sunset to see Lisbon from the water, booking excellent restaurants and pointing us to local shops and services. No concierge service could beat this!
We really loved the ambience and friendliness Maria provides and think it is for people who want an authentic, charming and independent stay in Lisbon.
