Location, location, location
Hidden in the heart of Lisbon, our parish prides itself on being an “aldeia” — a village — right in the city center. You are never more than an 8 minute walk from the Rossio (Lisbon’s buzzing main plaza) but, while staying in our historical holiday homes, you’ll fall naturally into the quiet simplicity of typical Portuguese life.
Here’s the way our inspector for Sawday’s Special Places to Stay describes it:
“A brilliant opportunity to live as a Lisboeta in a real Portuguese neighbourhood. You are free from tourists up here (except for those who meander up the wrong hill looking for the castle.)”
And on Armona Island, in the Algarve? You’re only a 5-minute boat ride from the bustling port town of Olhão, but you’ll feel like you are a million miles from everywhere…
Thank you for visiting and for recommending our holiday homes to your family and friends.
If you have any questions or comments, we would love to hear from you.
Godspeed,
Austin Silva Mota & Drex Kleber
