Casa Amora

Top choice in Marquês de Pombal & Around


Casa Amora has 11 beautifully designed guest rooms and studio apartments, with eye-catching art and iPod docks. There's a lovely garden patio where the first-rate breakfast is served out of a Smeg-filled kitchen. It's located in the peaceful neighbourhood of Amoreiras, a few steps from one of Lisbon's prettiest squares.

Rooms are bright, elegantly furnished and uniquely designed, and each pays homage to a different Portuguese persona (such as poet Fernando Pessoa, fadista Amália Rodrigues and painter Amadeo de Souza Cardoso).
