We loved our stay at the Lemon House! Simona was a terrific host and we specifically appreciated that she let us store all our bags when we arrived before the home was cleaned and ready for check in. We were able to tour the town and have a great lunch without toting all our bags around.
The house itself is great, it felt especially roomy after our recent stays in apartments in downtown Barcelona and Madrid. It was nice to have room to stretch out a little and not feel like we were bumping into one another inside. PLUS the garden is wonderful! We spent every evening sitting outside enjoying the quiet and nice weather.
Getting around Estoril is very easy from the location. The beach and train station are about as close as you could want. We had my 79 year old mom with us and she appreciated the easy walk to restaurants, beach and train station.
We wanted to do a lot of sightseeing in Lisbon and were not sure initially how much hassle it might be to get into the city from the house. But, once we arrived and figured out the train system we found it very easy to take the train into Lisbon. The station where you arrive in the city is exactly where you want to be to start any exploration. We rode the train several days to tour Lisbon, then were so glad to be able to return to our little oasis in Estoril. We are so glad we didn't choose to stay in the city!
We are spending several months traveling in Europe and staying at the Lemon House is definitely one of the best experiences we have had!
We can't wait to get the chance to come back!
