"We stayed at this gorgeous boutique hotel for 3 nights and loved every moment. Nicole on front desk is a stand out! We felt welcomed from the moment we arrived and nothing felt too much trouble. Nicole’s dinner recommendation of a local restaurant ‘Discreto’ proved excellent. The terrace and pool have spectacular views."
"A lovely design conscious hotel with spacious comfortable rooms - including superb suites with amazing sea views. Heated outdoor pool with clever seating areas to protect you from the wind. The breakfast choice is superb catering for all tastes. The staff were attentive and friendly."
"Our stay was INCREDIBLE! Everything from the room, to the customer service to the breakfast blew us away. We also loved the ocean view from our room. We would absolutely love to come back. Also, Tiago at the front desk was AMAZING! He welcomed us so kindly and so helpfully. Phenomenal experience at this hotel."
"We loved this hotel. The word 'Boutique' is much used often inappropriately, but this hotel ticks all the boxes. Small, discrete, charming staff, well designed rooms, excellent location (tucked away off main road), a pool (only tiny but extraordinary) and wonderful views across the Tagus."
"I stayed at Memmo Alfama for a few nights and it was a perfect 5-star experience from start to finish. The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming - always happy to help with recommendations or a friendly chat. My room was beautifully designed: stylish, comfortable, and with thoughtful details throughout."
