Outstanding! Outstanding! Outstanding!
Silva’s House is an experience you cannot miss if you’re in Lisbon.
This exquisite apartment is unique, the perfect blend of the old and new. Elegantly appointed in old time Portuguese style with modern top of the line facilities. Scented sticks are in all the rooms and charming touches everywhere. Beds and linens fresh and comfortable.
The view from the living room is breathtaking and the location perfect. Right in the heart of historical Alfama with everything you need around you. An experience that should not be missed.
However, what makes Silva’s house unique are it’s hosts, Luis and Paula. Their hospitality goes way beyond the call of duty. Luis met us at the bus station upon our arrival to Lisbon from Porto and helped my family of four with all our luggage.
The apartment is on the third floor of this historic building and once again Luis and his charming son carried our extra heavy suitcases up the stairs. Awaiting us in the kitchen table was some Pastel de nata (pastries) and a delicious bottle of Silva’s home made wine.
Luis and Paula are very special hosts who make their guests truly feel like part of their family.
We would not think of staying anywhere else on our return to Lisbon.
Thank you Luis and Paula. We hope you’ll have us stay again.
