Solar do Castelo Lisbon Heritage Collection Alfama

We loved our stay!!!!! The staff is very attentive. They will fulfill any need you have. The rooms and hotel grounds are spotlessly clean at all times. We just mentioned to the front desk that we wanted to get into the plunge pool and before we knew it there was pool towels and complementary flip-flops waiting for us right beside the pool. I will say that we found our mattress to be on the stiff side But a lot of people like that so it just depends on what you prefer. The pillows were very thin, but we asked for extras and were given plenty. The only thing that could take this hotel to the next level is if they did not allow smoking on the patio. We were sad to have cigarette smoke in our face during our meals, and even sadder to realize we couldn’t leave our hotel room windows open without the room filling with secondhand smoke. There’s plenty of space outside the hotel walls for people to smoke cigarettes. But that is my one and only complaint other than that, This hotel is fantastic and if cigarettes don’t bother you, you will have a perfect time here! Even the peacocks weren’t a big deal. They were so much fun to watch, they are loud, but we didn’t hear them at all during the night while we were trying to sleep.

Wonderfully cute boutique hotel in the shadow of the castle. Beautifully fitted out and with a refreshingly relaxed attitude to breakfast and early evening drink/cakes, it felt more like staying with relatives than being on a hotel. Lovely breakfast courtyard, complete with screeching peacocks (who are really the ones in charge!) . Several nice restaurants within a ten minute walk, but be aware- you are staying at the top of a VERY steep hill, with limited vehicular access. I’d contend it a hotel for the physically active, there’s a fair bit of walking involved.

Great place next to the castle. Loved our cute boutique room and the view/small patio was lovely. You will find yourself surrounded by peacocks! Breakfast buffet was incredible. Loved all of the fruit, food options including mimosas. It is a bit difficult to get to so keep that in mind if renting a car or taking an Uber. You will need to walk up the hill. They do have a golf cart that can pick you up at certain to location. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because we had an ant problem in the room and they found their way up into the bed in the sheets without any sort of concession and would have been appreciated.
