Stuart and Carole run this beautiful B&B, just a few minutes from the heart of downtown Sintra…read more The B&B is peaceful and quiet, supremely clean and the hosts are very welcoming. We stayed in the apartment (attached to the house) and also shared Stuart and Carole's lovely garden for a relax with a glass of wine or two in the evenings before heading out for dinner... Breakfast is provided in the apartment (bread, eggs, cereals, milk etc.) so you can make whatever breakfast you desire when you are up and about... we loved this approach and wish more hosts would do this (great idea Carole!) :-) We absolutely loved it here and would place it at the top of our list of "excellent finds for places to stay on our travels"... if you are in Sintra, don't hesitate to make a booking here and stay - you will not regret it... :-)

I'd recommend this B&B to anyone staying in Lisbon. It's a small boutique style hotel located in…read morethe Chiado area. Close to the metro, as well as the main tourist areas of the city, such a Barrio Alto and other major sights. The hotel itself had a very friendly staff, who were more than happy to help out with any questions we had (and we def had a few with it being our first time in Lisbon). They also spoke English, which was helpful for us. The room was a good size and was incredibly clean and well decorated. The room and the hotel had a funky "theatrical" type of them, apparently inspired by a nearby hotel which we enjoyed. The beds were also very comfortable, which is nice to have after a long day of exploring the city.

It is not B&B any more as they lost the breakfast lease. The experience depends on who is working…read morethe front desk. One employee asked for Covid test when it was no longer required in Portugal and other employees were super friendly and helpful.

Realizing my error I called and no one answered. I then sent an e-mail. I was notified that the reservation was non refundable even though I provided 7 days notice. If this is their approach to doing business, I want no part in it. They effectively stole $147 euro from me and I will never do business with a company that treats customers this way.

It's only open from 4-7 p.m. on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. It's inside in the winter, but extends outside when the weather warms. Cost is reasonable and the hostess speaks very good English. The tea room is located in a bed and breakfast in the center of Cascais, half a block from the railroad station.

Everything is so cosy and ammenities and breakfast lovely. Fresh pressed juices, homemade bread and cake and cookies. Sadly my daughter had 3 nights with throwing up and Juan and the kitchen helped with care and boiling rice, making tea and toast and last day we got a free room to stay before our departure. Such a wonderful treatment. Thanks to all of Casa Amora for help making this a great trip after all. Viktoria & Flemming

Having just returned from Lisbon, I can definitively say that Casa Amora is leaps and bounds above…read moreother area bed and breakfasts. From their taste of traditional decor, idealic location and a friendly well informed staff; they covered all bases. John and his mutilingual team catered to our needs with kindness, a beguilded calm and genuine guest orientation. Delight in their complimentary teas, organic fruits and wide array of traditional port wines from their 'honesty -bar'. The assortment of offerings during breakfast was one of the highlights of our stay. The only drawback to our otherwise wonderful stay was the sound of footsteps of guests in the rooms above us given the pristine wooden flooring. Hats off to Casa Amora. We'll be back when next in Lisboa!

I definitely recommend this hotel! It is in a nice area with kind people that maintain the place!…read moreBeautiful to walk around and has lemon trees, a sweet and sour fruit they like to call Chinese lanterns, and many beautiful plants!!! Anna is a woman that owns the house and works there with here daughter and her granddaughter lives there too! Breakfast is amazing with fresh fruit and yoghurt, cereals, etc. They have wifi and you have to take a car, taxi or bike to get to the beach but it is definitely worth it to stay here!

We let them know of our 9:45 am arrival and greatly appreciated that they had a room ready for us and even upgraded to a city view. The room was a comfortable size with a large table and two chairs. The Fine hotel welcome gift was three maroons each representing different tastes of locations in Portugal with a small bottle of port - really nice welcome gift! For night lights, if you leave the closet door open, the light is motion activated and the vanity mirror light can be left on. The shower was in the tub with high sides. There is a toilet and separate bidet. My two dislikes were: It was difficult to get to the toilet unless you closed the bathroom door or squeezed around the door, since the toilet was behind the door. The other was the shower - you had to get into the tub to turn on the water, so you are likely to get some cold water on you unless you knew exactly how to adjust the various knobs so the water came out of the handheld showerhead vs the overhead shower or the faucet. I appreciated the Nespresso espresso maker and refrigerator and bottles of water. I also appreciated the new boxes of tissues when I showed an empty box due to my cold/bronchitis. Wonderfully plush slippers - I think the best I have felt in any hotel. The hotel is on the "Champs-Élysées" Portugal version street with luxury stores and tented vendors on the weekends. It is a short walk, 10 minutes, to the Parque Edwardo VII park where the Hop On/Hop Off and Cityrama Gray Line tour buses are located. I was impressed by the breakfast buffet every day and the staff. We came first thing and also one day towards the end - the food was always fresh, refreshed, and delicious - with eggs, breakfast meats, cold cuts, cheeses, waffles, and beautiful fresh, sliced fruit and several fruit juices. You can also get coffee or cappuccinos. The staff was always attentive, whisking away a used plate and giving you fresh silverware. We ate at Seen Lisboa and Cervejaria Liberdade Portugese restaurants enjoyed the cuisine.

I'll break this review down by parts of the hotel we utilized: Room; the room was gorgeous. It had very nice amenity kits and tv to cast on. During turn down one night, the cleaning crew left a beautiful Tivoli bookmark in my book on the nightstand, and I will never forget that beautiful touch. We also loved the 24 hr room service. We ordered beef fillet with foie gras which was amazing and cheesy pizza I think around 3am. Did not taste like 3am food. Was phenomenal. Lobby: a work of art. You'll see many beautiful people flowing in and out. Someone is always present to assist you, whether it be with finding a restaurant or booking a ride. Pool: The pool is a little lackluster but we weren't there for the pool anyways, and the private garden was great for intimate drinks and snacks. Loved the staff here and the very nice pool restrooms. SEEN Sky Bar: when I stayed here, I did not realize that this rooftop bar was a highlight of the city. On weekends closer to 8 PM, it starts to get incredibly packed up here and I would highly recommend a reservation if you're planning on grabbing more than just a drink. The view is breathtaking, and the drinks are delicious, but are not on the cheaper side. Didn't utilize: gym, meeting rooms, dining facilities (no need on my trip) I would recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Lisbon and I'm so glad I had the experience to stay here myself.

There are so many reasons why we love this hotel. The location is right in between two historical…read moremonuments and a hop away from the monastery. Our room had a water view and we slept with the windows open each night to bask in the ocean smells and the nighttime ambience. The room itself was gigantic and the automated buttons around the room were super convenient so we could get into bed and turn off the lights, or open the blackout curtains, etc. The staff was lovely, attentive and so accommodating. We had breakfast, lunch and drinks there and each time the service was top notch. European style but more engaged than the servers in other European countries - they even smiled! Now let's talk about the building. It is super modern and cleverly designed so each part of the hotel has a view of the water. It sounds like each room has an individual feel and layout so that is also intriguing. Not a cookie cutter hotel by any stretch of the imagination. We have never been blown away by this level of design, location and service with such affordable prices. We have stayed in hotels twice the cost in the states and were treated like dirt (nyc, San Fran, California). We will definitely be coming back to Lisbon and when we do, we will book here immediately. Don't hesitate, it is the best hotel we have experienced in all of Europe.

The parking is free, which was great because we had a rental car. Our room was facing the marina and was amazing. There was a large shower and separate soaking tub. Each night, they placed cookies on the bed. Free breakfast was included and had an assortment of fresh fruits, juices, cheeses, smoked fish and meats. They will also cook eggs a different style upon request. We also visited the spa, which had an indoor pool, steam room and sauna. There was also a rooftop pool which was gorgeous as well and overlooked the marina and had views of the river and bridge. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Lisbon!
