I stayed at Duque's villa for about a week. I booked in on very short notice but communication with Cintia was quick and responsive. Despite my late check-in time, Cintia was very kind to welcome me, show me the apartment and explain everything as needed. A bottle of wine and water along with many other things were available for me. Her mother and I shared some wonderful chats especially outdoors where one could watch the parrots nibbling on clementines in the trees. There were lots of lemons and clementines to pick from.
The villa itself is very beautiful and has regal history, and the renovations add a very modern and luxurious touch. Every article is thoughtfully appointed, all Portuguese to showcase workmanship in Portugal. I especially loved the quiet neighbourhood, River Tejo views and the private parking. I was very grateful to stay here and thank you so much to Cintia and Lucinda for your warmth, generosity and kindness. I highly recommend staying here for a comfortable stay in Lisbon.
