Pedro's place was well worth the climb; his smartly-designed pad is perched just below Lisbon's finest look-off, from which one can sit beneath a copse of old cedars with a bottle of port, and take in a full panoramic view of the old town. We liked to get up early to enjoy a little breakfast outside in Pedro's private walled yard, then make our way down into the town while there was still enough shade to hide from the sun. At night, we would get a cold drink and a samosa from the strip of Indian and Bangladeshi restaurants and the foot of the hill, then slowly step-and-snack our way back up to the flat, which was very cool and breezy at night and a great place to wrap up our day. We had an altogether perfect time in Lisbon, and couldn't have felt cooler about ourselves for choosing to stay at Pedro's.
