Duques Villa is simply the most amazing Airbnb we could possibly stay in in Lisbon. We had the most wonderful experience with Cintia as our host. The villa is remarkably spotless clean. Seriously, the place is even better than the pictures, of you can imagine. Everything is brand new and bright, very stylish. The bedroom and bathroom are seriously impressive, and very comfortable. The view from the window is quite amazing as well. Cintia is more than accommodating. She was quick to respond with anything that could possibly make our visit to Lisbon even better. She provided us with a LOT of recommendations, and even though we only had 3 days in Lisbon, we were able to cram in the activities that we valued most. When staying at the villa, I highly recommend buying the Lisboa Card. It allows you unlimited public transportation rides (bus, metro, train, tram, everything!) for the amount of time you choose to have it, as well as free entry to the best museums and sites. Cintia advised us on it, and it couldn’t have been more convenient. The card is especially helpful for the location of the villa because while the villa is a little bit of a walk to the center of Lisbon, there are several buses nearby that carry you right to the heart of the city, which is great if you get tired of walking. Anyway, I can’t say enough about the value of Duques Villa. Cintia gave us a bottle of wine as a welcome gift when we arrived. She brought us some lemons from the beautiful and plentiful lemon trees that grow just outside. She added many nice touches for us that truly showed she cared about our experience. She was even very accommodating with our slightly later arrival time, as well as accommodating us to leave our bags there while we explored Sintra on our last day after we had already checked out.
Final words: STAY IN DUQUES VILLA!! You will NOT regret it!
