"the bright, spotless rooms, as-promised view, goodie-filled welcome basket,
and owner’s tour of the neighborhood reassured me that we lucked out..."

- MSNBC's incognito Well-Mannered Traveler, Oct 2008

Welcome to Lisbon! You'll soon feel at home in one of our family's five historic properties, hidden in this quiet little neighborhood in the very heart of Lisbon.

Our property selection is -- and will always remain -- small so that we can continue to provide an individualized 'attention to detail' which helps make your visit special, from pre-trip planning support... to special rates at our local spa/gym during your stay... to personally calling your taxi and helping with your bags at check-out.*

What are our famous guests saying? Please read our Vacation Rental Testimonials.

LISBON'S Historic Preservation District: Our 19th-century vacation rental homes and apartments graciously complement and enhance your stay in our beloved Lisbon. Tucked away on a quiet cobblestone street in Lisbon's Historic Preservation District, each property is perched conveniently above the city's vibrant center and a quick 3-8 minute walk down to the main plazas known as the Rossio and Praça dos Restauradores.

ALGARVE'S Armona Island: Our holiday beach cottage on the pedestrian-only Armona Island enjoys a priviledged existence within the Ria Formosa Natural Park. The 15-minute ferry from Olhão -- the Algarve's main fishing port -- is a perfect buffer between you and the Algarve crowds. (Armona Island, a closely-guarded national secret, is where the Portuguese go to escape the foreigners crowding the mainland Algarve beaches.)

As we begin our sixth year of renting self-catering homes to holiday and business travellers, we want to thank you -- our guests -- for visiting and for recommending our Lisbon holiday apartments and vacation homes to your friends and family.

We hope that you will enjoy our holiday rentals in Lisbon and the Eastern Algarve 's Armona Island. If you have any questions or comments, we would love to hear from you.

Godspeed,
Deb & Jord

*In our testimonials and stamp-of-approval from Sawday's rigorous "Special Places" inspectors, you'll see that our guests notice, and appreciate, this unusual level of owner commitment. For us, it's a joy to provide as much, or as little, personalized attention as desired; we never tire of watching people fall in love with Lisbon.

Alastair Sawday's Special Places to Stay 'Who are We' introduction:
"The notion of 'special' is at the heart of what we do, and highly subjective... We take huge pleasure from finding people and places that do their own thing -- brilliantly; places that are unusual and follow no trends; places of peace and beauty; people who are kind and interesting - and genuine."
