Grandola Vacation Rentals

"These are apartments. Real apartments with clothese washer, dish washer, fully equipped kitchens. Very clean. Close to cruise ship (walk)."

"Condos that never sold as condos turned hotel absolutely fabulous Casa grande named correctly."

"The hotel had obviously had a recent refurbishment, and I commend the designer, builder, owner to their attention to detail. The room was clean, as was the compact bathroom. The room had luggage rack was big enough to take 2 suitcases side by side. The hanging space was open sided but with coat hangers with actual hooks, not anti theft fittings, air conditioning controls for the room. TV , Google TV so if you want to watch it's subscription. Quiet location, but at least 6 different restaurants in the street outside within 30m walk. For cruisers you can see and walk to and from the cruise terminal from directly outside the hotel, you would need to negotiate perhaps 200m of cobbled walkway before a smooth surface would allow suitcases to be walked to and from the terminal, no gauntlet of rip off, cash only taxi drivers. The staff are multi lingual welcoming efficient, there to help, good breakfast choices. Maybe 25 rooms on 4 floors, small 4 person lift, ground floor is cafe, bar breakfast area, reception, somebody thought about the traveller in putting this hotel together, well done."

"We had a very enjoyable stay for our first time in Lisbon. The Aurea hotel is located close to the cruise port so it’s in a very safe location. Although this means it is also very “touristy”! This is fine however as there’s plenty of great restaurants in walking distance as well as the historic Alfama district literally right behind the hotel! Just be ready to climb a lot of steep hills & staircases. The hotel itself is very clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful! The room we had was a basic king - which in Europe means two full beds pushed together. The room was decent sized nothing special however. The bathroom was very nice with two basins and even a bidet. My only complaint was our toilet seat was broken a bit and kept sliding which they did their best to try to fix. I Suspect it needs to be fully replaced however. The breakfast was very good. We only did it on one day but it blew away what you get in the US at most upper scale restaurants, no real surprise as Lisbon has a phenomenal food culture! Unfortunately the dinner we did not do as the sene took us quite small surprisingly and the one night we did want to try it they were out of the steak, so we went elsewhere. For shopping, It’s only a few blocks from the Main Shopping districts as well of Chiado/ Baixa. Just avoid the obvious tourist traps right next door. You Definitely need to walk a bit further to get to the good stuff. Overall an excellent stay."

"Very good room in a classic hotel. Staff very courteous and friendly "

"Our stay was perfect. We’ll be back."

"A treasure of a sweet hotel in the old town of Alfama . Stellar front desk staff for hospitality. One of the gentleman even came outside and carried my suitcase in. The manager was lovely as well ensuring we got an early check in. Beautiful breakfast and outdoor patio. Enjoyed the free walking tour they provided of the neighborhood. The room was clean and great bathroom. They even have a small outdoor pool."
