This is a charming little apartment in the heart of the castle area of Lisbon – literally, overlooking the Castelo de S. Jorge. Beautifully decorated, very quaint and comfortable (the bed is a dream) and perfect for a short stay from which to explore the city.
Our taxi driver dumped us a 20-minute walk away (best to ask the hosts for details of a taxi company which will drop you at the front door), but Ana’s husband Pierre had come out into the street to find us and escort us to the apartment! Such kindness. The gorgeous wine, bread, fruit, cheese and meats our hosts left us were a very welcome gift too.
A couple of negatives. The building isn’t very well sound-proofed, so we could hear the upstairs neighbours chatting and walking about. We'd stress that this didn't disturb our sleep. Plus, the door to the street doesn’t have a lock, which would be a bit nerve-wracking for a solo traveller.
That said, we had a lovely, relaxing stay and would definitely book again.
