Attention antique art lovers, Joao & Lucia's house is dressed with style and elegance with antique furniture delicately restored by Joao's expert hands of a master craftsman. It will transport you in time to the Portugal of the 1940s. Every thing in the house is brand new. Joao & Lucia are an adorable, friendly English speaking couple devoted to offer a great stay to their guests. Don't hesitate to ask for what you may need. They are talented and creative hosts with great information about Lisbon attraction spots. After seating down on a long flight, if you just have a carry on bag you may want to stretch your legs, and just walk the short 1 Km distance from the airport to the house. Although the house is conveniently located near the Lisbon Airport, there is no airplane noise. The only sound you will hear is from the birds singing in the large backyard. The house is located on Encarnacao, a high middle class, very quiet neighborhood with beautiful homes. The modern full kitchen and bathroom are beautifully tiled with excellent hot & cold water pressure. Incredible amenities, there is a hair dryer and a state-of-the-art wash machine. Take the nearby Metro to Park of the Nations and be fascinated with its many species Oceanarium, a view of the impressive Vasco da Gama Bridge with 11 miles extension, the longest in Europe, over the Tagus River, the Teleferico for a bird's eye view of Lisbon, or the Pavilhao do Conhecimento (Pavillion of Knowledge), an interactive museum. Make sure to visit the spectacular Cascais beach area. After a full day walking have an invigorating hot shower rinsing away the day's stress. There is a mini-market nearby for small things you may need. I plan to return soon to Lisbon and John & Lucia's place will always be our home away from home. Thank you for going the extra mile for our memorable Portuguese vacation. I will recommend you to all my family, friends and work associates. Keep up the good work.
