Patio involves a hike up a steep, narrow street (a common obstacle in Lisbon), the hotel has several charming amenities including an outdoor terrace with sun loungers, a free breakfast in a pretty, bright breakfast room, and free Wi-Fi. Rooms range from Standard, cozy rooms for two, to Apartments complete with kitchenettes. Bathrooms are on the small side.
Scene
Warm and inviting bed-and-breakfast with pretty terrace
Casa do Patio B&B is a charming property with a lovely courtyard where guests lounge in warm weather, drink coffee, chat with friends on laptops, or just soak up the Portuguese ambiance. The entrance to
the property goes directly into the kitchen, where sticky notes are posted all
over the cupboards in at least a dozen languages, thanking the owners of the
property for their hospitality. The kitchen/breakfast area has a large wooden
table and several smaller tables leading into a dining room with a slightly
more formal large dining table. There is a sunny lounge indoors, but guests definitely migrate towards the terrace, complete with sun loungers, when the weather is cooperating. Overall, this is a welcoming and charming property that offers a glimpse into Portuguese life.
Location
On a steep street in the Santa Catarina neighborhood
Nestled into a quiet residential area high on a narrow
street, Casa do Patio is located in the Santa Caterina area of Lisbon’s city
center. There are several restaurants and cafes and a few bars within a
10-minute walk, plus a McDonalds. The Bairro Alto is a 10-minute walk away and the
heart of the historic center is about 20 minutes away. Cais do Sodre station, from which trains
come and go throughout the country and elsewhere in Europe, is a 16-minute walk
away. The Lisbon Portela Airport is 16 minutes away by car or taxi or less than
30 by bus on the 208 line.
Rooms
Ranging from cozy Standard rooms to spacious Apartments, all with tight bathrooms
There is a variety of rooms at Casa do Patio, from the
rather compact Standards with limited space between the foot of the
bed and wall (but with a large, comfortable bed and a corner seating area) to
the fully equipped apartments with kitchenettes, two bedrooms, a living room, and dining area (with a welcoming bowl of fresh fruit on the table). All rooms are immaculately clean and colorful with interesting original
paintings hanging on walls and cool antique-style furniture. The bathrooms are
definitely compact, however, with stand-up rain showers and a small sink that
almost hangs over the toilet. There is free Wi-Fi access in every room, a
flat-screen cable TV, safe, and hairdryer.
Features
Yummy, authentic breakfasts and free Wi-Fi
The free breakfasts are one of the best features at Casa do Patio.
They include homemade jam, crepes, and Portuguese French toast. There is also
the spectacular patio with several tables and chairs for relaxing in warm
weather, free Wi-Fi access in rooms and throughout the property, coffee, tea
and snacks available all day, rooms equipped with kitchenettes and washing
machines, and a truly hospitable staff that can arrange taxi and restaurant
reservations. Unfortunately, there isn't a dedicated parking area nearby.
