What a great find with a beautiful view!!
Joana was waiting for us when we arrived after a short uphill walk from the Sao Bento train station. She was hospitable and kind. She gave us a tour of the massive house and some tips for exploring the local area.
The house is massive. Could easily fit 6 bedrooms in the place, but instead there are 3 (soon to be 4) with a ton of space. The accommodations are modern with touches of the original stone. It was a short walk to all the local attractions. And of course, there is a breathtaking view of the Luís I Bridge.
Air conditioners were available in the main living/kitchen area and second floor bedroom. There was no AC on the second or third floors, which may be an issue in the summertime, but was not too big of an issue for us since it was cooler at night and we could open the windows.
We would definitely recommend a stay here!!
