## Description

Palácio Príncipe Real occupies a restored 19th-century residence behind a discreet entrance on Rua de São Marçal. Beyond the front door is a 1,400 m² garden shaded by mature trees, with a heated outdoor pool that feels unusually secluded for central Lisbon. Breakfast can be served in the bedroom, on a private terrace or beside the pool, and the house also has its own restaurant, EVOO. Rooms retain the individual proportions of the old residence, so layout, outlook and outdoor space differ from one room to the next.

The property is registered as Turismo de Habitação, the Portuguese category for guest accommodation in a house of architectural or historic interest, and therefore has no official star rating. Breakfast served wherever guests prefer and the close attention of the staff make the experience feel more like a private house than a conventional city hotel. Rua de São Marçal is quieter than the busier streets around the Príncipe Real garden, but it lies uphill from central Lisbon and away from the nearest metro entrance. Guests arriving with luggage should ask in advance where a taxi can stop and which route involves the least walking.

## What guests report

Guests often remember breakfast beside the pool or on a private terrace, and many single out the kindness of the staff. The garden brings a rare sense of privacy to the centre of Lisbon, and generous rooms reinforce the feeling of staying in a private house. The historic building was not laid out as a standard hotel, so terraces, views and room shapes vary. The address also requires some planning: it is uphill from central Lisbon and not close to a metro entrance. Ask which room has been offered and request the simplest arrival route if you will have heavy luggage.

## Practical details

Palácio Príncipe Real is registered as Turismo de Habitação for up to 52 guests and has no star classification. Facilities include a 1,400 m² garden, a heated outdoor pool and the EVOO restaurant. Breakfast may be served in the room, on a terrace or beside the pool. Layouts, outlooks and private outdoor space differ between rooms.

## The area

Rua de São Marçal is a quiet residential street just west of the Príncipe Real garden. The climb from central Lisbon is steep and the nearest metro entrance is some distance away, so ask where a taxi can stop if you are bringing luggage.
