Ricardo the owner is pleasant and accommodating. I have made a mistake on my reservation for 3 guest instead of 1 guest. He gave our son a room free of charge. The guest house has a beautiful backyard, there is a avocado tree, tangerine tree and orange tree. He had 3 beautiful cats roaming around the backyard. The place decor is ornate and comfortable. If you're visiting Belem do stay with them.

Charming hotel with well appointed rooms, attentive service and very close to the cathedral and Fado restaurants and bars. Even though vehicle access is limited, so you will need to walk a little, we wouldn’t think twice about booking again when we come back to Lisbon.
