Palacete Chafariz D'El Rei (Lisbon, Portugal) 14 Hotel Reviews | Tablet Hotels

"We’ve all been there — returning from a trip, high on the heady rush of travel, perhaps a bit overly enthusiastic about the cuisine and music and cultural traditions of the places where we’ve been — and assuming our friends really want to see our vacation snapshots. Lisbon native João Antonio Santos has been there, too. After an inspiring (and lucrative) stint in Brazil, he returned to Portugal in 1909 and constructed an opulent Brazilian Art Nouveau mansion on the outskirts of Alfama, the oldest neighborhood in Lisbon. At the time, his showmanship was a topic of conversation among aristocratic types. Today, the restored Palacete Chafariz D'El Rei is a favorite among the art, film, and fashion set. And, frankly, anyone else who can afford it." - Tablet Hotels
