Casa C'Alma

"Can you introduce to this hotel? What should we know?This boutique guesthouse in Praça das Flores has only five rooms, making it ideal for travelers who treasure privacy and quiet. The Nordic-inspired design is a refreshing break from the norm, and the affordable price point gives it an added plus. It sounds pretty charming. Who else is staying here?Globetrotting couples love the romance and intimacy at this charming inn—not to mention its proximity to great boutiques. Makes sense! How was check in?Checking in and out is a seamless process, thanks to the attentive staff and simple layout. Perfect. Now, onto the good stuff: Tell us about the digs.Clean white lines with Scandinavian design elements complement throw blankets and colorful accent pillows. Some rooms face the public garden. The suite is stocked with a king bed, extra space, and a large bathroom. Just what we need. How about the little things, like the mini bar, or shower goodies? What makes a stay here so comfortable?Most rooms have a queen-size bed, a plush bathrobe, high-end toiletries, and free coffee and tea. We love a good bathrobe. How about the room service, or the dining options in general? What are we in for?There's no restaurant or bar, but an efficient communal kitchen lets you cook your own meals when you need a break from Lisbon’s overwhelming restaurant scene. A light, but tasty, traditional Portuguese breakfast is served here in the mornings. Good to know—thanks for the heads up. Let's talk staff: If you could award one a trophy, who gets it, and why?The concierge has spot-on recommendations for shopping, cafes, and local restaurants within walking distance. Noted. Any other services or features you'd like to shout out?The shared living room is inviting and relaxing—an ideal place to kick back with a glass of BYO wine before dinner. Great tip. So, bottom line: worth it, and why?For such a charming place, this really feels like a steal." - Jenna Scatena
