My Lisbon Holidays

Definitely liked this locale. It was a bit challenging to get responses since the main hotel was in another spot and the corner apartment was noisy. It was clean and spacious enough for a couple.

Well-located, relatively quiet, and clean.

This was the winner hotel of our trip! It was very interesting and just an enjoyable place to stay!

Nice to see a different side of the island. Like all our stays, this was clean and comfortable.

This one was difficult. In hindsight, going from the airport to a tour was not the best call. It was windy and cold, and I personally wasn't dressed warmly enough, so I spent more time in the van than outside looking at things. Our guide was very good and tried to be as accommodating as possible.

Our guide Pedro was exceptional! He was a great fit for our group since we shared many perspectives on ecology and the environment. He gave us a bonus experience to meet his mother and see her garden and the project he was working on. It totally enriched our trip!

Once again, as with the previous tours, we had a guide who was passionate and knowledgeable about the environment and the history. He kept us engaged the entire trip.

Weather-wise, Pico was a bit more welcoming on this half-day tour. We had the same guide as on our first half-day and we had a good sense of his style. The tour was not private, however, and it seemed a bit awkward for the man who did not know us or the guide. Our guide handled things really well in any case.

This was by far the most physical day of the trip. Our guide was so responsive and good overall that we gladly hired him on for the rest of the day.

The Views Of this Hotel are absolutely stunning! Who would not Love waking up to this beautiful hotel . This is a must stay hotel in Douro Valley.

This is definitely a 5 Star Hotel! We loved everything from the character of the hotel, to the room we stayed in, all the staff we came into contact with, the coffee shop attached to the hotel. We will absolutely be coming back to this hotel.

Angela and the staff was absolutely amazing. We met some amazing people from all different places as we were cooking together. All the dishes that we cooked were delicious, and we were able to get the recipes to take home. This is a must do when in Lisbon Portugal.

Great location. Comfortable rooms. Good quality and selection of foods at breakfast. Staff was helpful and friendly.

Beautiful location with amazing views of the Douro river. The on-site restaurant was delicious! It was nice that they included a free tour and port tasting.

Very central location within walking distance to everything.

It was great to get a historical perspective of the city and to see the main sites and neighborhoods.

Very fun to walk the old city and taste local foods.

Wonderful location - this was a studio and the kitchen was fully outfitted. The bed was comfortable and the parking made it easy to have a car in Riberia Grande. They provided a wash basin and clothesline!

Comfortable and an excellent location but the theme of the room was off-putting and the kitchen was not as well equipped as I would have liked. Loved that they provided a laundry facility with laundry soap.

Beautiful, comfortable, a delicious breakfast, and overall excellent.

This hotel was well located, provided a delicious breakfast with brewed tea, the staff were lovely, and the rooms were comfortable though a bit noisy. And the rooms had bathtubs!!

It was a cold, windy day and we were picked up from the airport to begin the tour. Matthew was excellent and did what he could to accommodate us given the weather. He provided a good overview of the history and ecology of the island.

Pedro was a remarkable guide who catered our day together based on our interests. Our understanding of the ecosystem of Faial and especially of the plants that found their way to being established in the Azores was increased. His passion for his island and it's history stood out in many positive ways.

John was a pleasure to spend the day with. We saw many beautiful views, learned about the volcanic formation of the island, how the culture particular to Sao Jorge developed, and the unique coffee culture of the island.

We had been with Matthew two days previously so it was great that the company sent us the same guide so we did not repeat any of the previous sites/information. The wine tasting was excellent and was a great finish to learning about grape culture on Pico.

Andre picked a fabulous hike for us that we were all able to complete despite one of us having a knee injury. He was solicitous and helpful throughout. We appreciated his knowledge and we ended up having him provide us with a full day experience as there was still so much to see!

This hotel was in a perfect location walkable to a lot. Unfortunately if you have a rental car, there is no parking . We stayed there 3 nights and needed assistance by the hotel staff to find parking many blocks away.

A quick stay before the flight. Did use the were sauna and that was a nice experience. Breakfast was served early so we were able to have some before an early flight. Airport transportation was good but the van for the early am flights filled fast so give yourself some extra time

So much fun and the owners delightful . Highly recommend

We were two women and the only cyclists that day. One of us an experienced cyclist and the other a beginner. She was very nervous and it was a challenging ride for her… even on an e bike. I think the ride leader could have been more attentive to her abilities and needs. But this was a great way to see the area in the first couple days of our trip to the Algarve.

The location of this hotel is outstanding. There were two issues, one was a noise problem due to the city's scheduling of the holiday festivities around the hotel, I talked to the owner about it and he was very apologetic but there was nothing he could have done to fix it. The other issue was the construction going on in the lobby but it did not really inconvenience us. The breakfast buffet was fine, the room was well appointed and had nice views.

Stay here if you can, it's excellent. Staff were very helpful, room was cleand and cozy and the location was perfect for exploring the old town.

Great location, we did not have a view but it didn't matter, we spent the whole time exploring the lovely town. The breakfast was super.

This hotel was very comfortable and quiet. We had an interior room looking out on a plain courtyard. We were only there for a night because it was our last night and we had to transfer to the airport early so we missed breakfast, but the staff provided a nice breakfast in a bag to go. I loved this neighborhood, and would definitely stay here again.

Fascinating property. We enjoyed the tour and it was a good introduction to Portugal's Antejo wine region.
