Our only regret is having to depart…I cannot recommend this townhome enough. ….we loved every minute of our stay. Thank you Austin and family.” – Kathyrn C (TripAdvisor Jul 2016)
[hr]
This luxury vacation villa is perched directly above the Praça dos Restauradores, offering unobstructed 180º views over Lisbon’s red-tiled roofs. The original 19th-century building has been restored and expanded, and is now a beautiful home, full of character.
Casa Villa Serra may look modest on the outside, but it’s spacious on the inside. With three floors, there’s room to be together, and to enjoy your own personal space. One bedroom and one bathroom are on the main floor, with the other two bedrooms and bathroom on the floor below. This works especially well for couples traveling together, and can provide privacy with a baby (for example) who might otherwise wake up and disturb other family members during the night.
Hidden on a private cobbled lane — just across from Casa Joaquina — in the heart of Lisbon’s medieval Historic Preservation District, Casa Villa Serra is one of twelve traditional 19th-century homes that once formed a tiny, self-enclosed village known as “Villa Serra Fernandes.”
Today this sleepy “village” is just 8 minutes walk from the Rossio (Lisbon’s fabulous main square with 24-hour taxi stand), world class restaurants, theatres, museums, shopping, the metro and the lovely Sintra train station.
Whether stretched out on the terrace or curled up on the sofa, the city is literally at your feet; there’s nothing else like it in Lisbon.

“…the best experience of our European vacation. The view was spectacular! We would stay in any of Deb’s properties again and would love to come back to Lisbon.” – David from Canada (TripAdvisor Aug 2009)

- Every bedroom set is hand-made and represents a different Portuguese century: 1600s, 1800s, 1900s.
- Combined with our custom-made orthopedic mattresses and foam pillow-toppers, we think our beds provide the perfect night’s sleep.
- As for our luxury linens, we were thrilled when the notoriously difficult-to-please Sawday’s Special Places to Stay inspector declared them “immaculate.”
