Casa do Bairro

Príncipe Real, Santos & Estrela


In autumn, figs fall onto the sunroof of the lobby at this small, welcoming place. Bright rooms, some with postcard views all the way to the river, are furnished in an attractive contemporary style, though avoid rooms 101 and 103 due to hyper-humidity. It's hard to find: it's located on a staircase lane accessed from Rua Fernades Tomás.

The owners also operate six other B&Bs in Lisbon and two in Porto.
