The concept
We’re not a theme — the name is what we stand for. Like good cheese and good wine, we believe in simple things done with quality: authentic, unpretentious, rooted in tradition yet alive in the present.
That belief becomes handmade hospitality — every guest known and looked after — in two ways to stay in Lisbon. Both are ours, both are direct, both come with a warm, local welcome.
Handmade hospitality, rated
7,600+ reviews over 14 years in Lisbon — and this is what guests rate us highest for:
Book direct
Book through us, not the apps, and that value comes back to you — a better price, real flexibility, and a warmer welcome.
Choose a flexible rate to change or cancel your stay.
The direct rate is always our best — lower than the OTAs.
Find it cheaper elsewhere and we’ll match it.
Talk to a real person; tailor your stay before and during.
In their words
Recent, verified reviews from guests who booked direct — straight from Booking.com.
“The attention to detail. As mentioned, the apartment did in fact include wine and a delicious cheese. And even the map they gave us included helpful tips.”
“The layout was good! And the decor was minimal and modern. The kitchen was really well equipped too.”
“We love the place, the staff is marvelous, they are very nice, the place is good, excellent in general, the breakfast was wonderful.”
“Staff super kind. Each night they prepare a piece of cake, wich they put in your room as a good-night present! Me and my wife appreciated a lot this attention.”
“This apartment is amazing! Super comfortable, with everything you need - from coffee, to oils, salt and basically everything you need. Very comfortable, including the beds. The view is outstanding!”
“Loved the location! Staff was responsive and had everything we needed.”

A few things guests ask before they book direct with us.
Two very different ways to stay with us, both handmade. Our Suites are a single design-led property in Santos — rooms and suites each named after a Portuguese grape variety, with private bathrooms, a reception on the ground floor, and a handmade breakfast each morning. It's the right choice if you'd like a hotel-style stay with a front desk and someone to greet you. Our Apartments are 17 individual, self-catering homes spread across five Lisbon districts — you get your own kitchen, more space, and self check-in, ideal for longer stays, families, or travellers who want to live like a local. Whichever you pick, it's the same warm, direct-with-us hospitality.
It depends on the rate you booked — you choose which one suits you at booking, and you'll see the exact terms before you pay: - Free cancellation (Flexible): cancel free of charge up to the deadline shown for your stay — up to 5 days before check-in for the Suites, up to 14 days before arrival for the Apartments. We take the first night as a deposit at booking and settle the balance at check-in. Any charge for a late cancellation or no-show is always shown before you book. - Best price (Non-Refundable): our lowest direct rate, paid in full today. It can't be changed, cancelled or refunded — that's the trade-off for the best price. It's only offered when your check-in is at least 21 days away. Booked through Airbnb, Booking.com or another platform? Their own cancellation terms apply — please manage those bookings through the platform you used.
It depends on the rate you choose at booking: Free-cancellation (Flexible) rate — we take the first night as a deposit when you book, and you settle the balance at check-in. Best-price (Non-Refundable) rate — the full amount is charged today, in exchange for our lowest direct price. This rate is only offered when your arrival is 21+ days away, and it can't be changed, cancelled or refunded. Either way, you'll see exactly what's due today and what's due at the property, itemised, before you confirm. Payments are handled securely through Stripe.
It depends on the space. Most of our 17 apartments and our suites are sized for couples and small groups. Our largest single units sleep 6 — that's the Sé Cathedral 1 and Chiado · Rossio Square 1 apartments. The Príncipe Real apartment (the one with the private pool) sleeps 4, and in the Suites the Family Suite sleeps 5. Each unit's page shows its exact capacity. If your group is larger than any single space, we can help you combine rooms — just ask and we'll find the best fit.
