This place is just gorgeous! In case you don’t know before you get here - lisbon is built on hills.. unbelievably steep hills and there is nothing like having your own private, safe, colourful and quiet garden space to come back to for a gin and tonic or a Portuguese wine. There’s a big outdoor dining space if you choose to cook a barbecue or a shaded chill out area if you’re an early riser and you fancy a read and a coffee. Having stayed in Bairro Alto on a previous Lisbon trip this time I loved the fact that you’re still minutes away from bars and restaurants and tourist places of interest yet still able to stay in a spacious and authentic property with outdoor space - this sets this place apart. Thank-you Conceicao and Joao, lovely touch with the welcome wine and pastries too.
