We were a party of 6 school friends, now all aged 60 and celebrating still being here !
​
1) Villa - was ideal. Spacious, very clean, well equipped with a Nespresso coffee machine, It was 30C when we were there but it is shaded so kept fairly cool and there is a nice outside terrace for fresh air plus a small balcony off the dining room. ​
2) Location - quiet to sleep during the night as just off the main nightlife but easily walkable to everything. On the edge of the old Alfama district which is nicely rambling with Fado bars and alleys to explore. Bar and café round the corner. ​
3) Host Communication - very responsive & helpful with excellent recommendations. ​
3) Activities - a tuk tuk ride was great fun to orientate yourself in the city. Traditional yellow Tram 28 you can get a window seat if you get on at one end of the line (Martim Moniz closest) but very crowded in between ! We also booked an afternoon sail boat round the bay and this was a beautiful, relaxing highlight after a busy day walking. A great city complimented with stylish accommodation. Recommended.
