There is nothing more comforting than arriving in a foreign country half way across the world, by yourself, for the first time, not speaking the local language - to be welcomed by a beautiful space and a very considerate host. From directions to give to the cab driver, chocolates beside the bed, bottle of Port to make myself a cocktail with, a personalised directory of the local places to eat and see... Isabelle is truly the best hostess one could ever wish for in any holiday house in the world.

My stay in Lisbon was all the more delightful as I had a great place to call a temporary home and Isabelle's help and advice to experience the city.

Truly wonderful ! Highly recommended !
