We have stayed in many holiday flats but this is one of the best we have ever experienced. Having arrived on a Sunday, we were very pleased by the warm welcome of our host and of the snack pack, bottles of wine and other basic necessities such as coffee, milk and sugar that awaited us. The apartment is conveniently located just on the Lisbon side of the 25 de Abril bridge in the very interesting neighbourhood of Alcantara. Free parking in a closed lot was very handy. A number of busses take you quickly into the Old Town although we often walked, for example, to Bairro Alta. The apartment itself is spacious and recently renovated with many modern conveniences. The décor is inspired by a 19th century Portuguese explorer and is very cleverly done with pleasant touches of nostalgia. For a chill-out evening, Netflix and a huge flat screen television guarantees first-class entertainment. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again!
GermanyDo conforto, da limpeza e de tudo o que está à disposição para quem chega (utensílios, TVs, Wi-Fi, Netflix). Além disso foi-nos possível fazer um check-out tardio e sem qualquer tipo de custo. Muito amáveis.

Company information
Life should be fun and stories. I want to be a grandpa with cool stories for my descendants. Lived and travelled around the World and decided to use my family house to give fellow travellers an authentic home experience in Lisbon - where I was born - and make their explorations easier when they come and visit. Father of a strong daughter, she is the inspiration of what to provide the younger explorers at our home in Lisbon. If you ask for tips on Lisbon, restaurants and sweet-shops are going to be on that list! Taste life to the fullest... I'm now an entrepreneur and a perfectionist and I like to treat people the way I like to be treated.
Property information
Board the tram to Belem, trains to Cascais or Sintra, a boat at Santo Amaro Harbour or the buses downtown through Santos and Cais de Sodre historic neighbourhoods. Return to your peaceful and cosy home, in a renovated historic building, and relax in our exquisite bed, sink into the Chesterfield sofa or sit outside in the sunny, quiet Necessidades Viewpoint. Fully equipped to be your home away from Home, my personal recommendations booklet, direct messaging contact, carefully chosen welcome basket and premium amenities elevate your exploration.
Neighbourhood information
Right beside the former Royal Palace, on a quiet street with a garden viewpoint in front and open views on the back. Great access to the tram to Belem, buses to the city center and trains to Cascais and Sintra. Cars can quickly get on the main throughways to explore day trips whether to Sintra's fairy-tale Pena Palace or to the sandy sunny beaches of Estoril and Caparica. There are a mix of traditional and trendy cafes, restaurants, an artisan bread shop and a small kid’s playground right down the street and many more right nearby. We’ll tell you all about them! The quiet former Private Royal Garden is right outside and Jardim da Estrela, one of the nicest gardens in Lisbon, great for families, is 5 min away. As fun facts, Madonna and the 2 former Presidents of Portugal have chosen this neighbourhood as their home.
