From the instant we entered this charming and extremely well-appointed hotel in the midst of the twisty-turny cobblestone streets of Alfama we were greeted and treated with unsurpassed warmth and hospitality. The staff are incredibly helpful, pleasant, and eager to please. The hotel is generous in all ways, and the little touches (complementary Portuguese treats welcoming us in our room, sweets and ice water and bubbly available in the lobby, cute little printed cards with information about a different local point of interest left on our bed each day) really were appreciated. Breakfast (both buffet items and prepared à la carte) was delicious. The coffee….SUPERB. Thank you for a delightful start to our Portuguese adventure.
