The Chalet Saudade is a feal gem! The property is a beautiful home with 3 floors of guestrooms below the main floor reception and sun room. We had an incredible large suite with entry hall, kitchenette, large bathroom, large bedroom with stone walls, comfy beds and a big screen TV. It also included living room and a door out to a private yard and access to an incredible garden. Breakfast was included at the nearby Cafe Saudade, and included fresh fruit smoothies, fresh bread, eggs, yogurt, granola and fresh fruit,served by friendly and attentive ladies. The only drawwback to this absolutely great spot is the semi-treacherous narrow winding stairs down to the room. There are less treacherous stairs up through the garden, but this is a challeng if you have large suitcases. Pack light and enjoy this enchanting place!

I loved the property, but the staff were wonderful!. If you are looking for a super polished tourist neighborhood, this is not for you. The area is a real city and looks like a real city, not a tourist area. There is grafitti on buildings. That said, the local people are wonderful and helpful, the area felt safe and is absolutely walkable. The food is great and the staff will point you in the direction of great food, even making your reservations if need be. The breakfast meal is wonderful, and I looked forward to sitting in the cafe and planning my day. The room I had was wonderful with high ceilings, plenty of room and extremely comfortable. I highly recommend this establishment, especially if you want to be close to the train or bus station. I will be staying here again, hopefully.

Our host welcomed us and explained how to get the most out of our stay. We had a second night booked separately, and they helped us with a room upgrade so we would not have to shift rooms. It is a lovely place with wonderful staff. It is a pleasure to stay with Chalet Suadade.

I booked this because I thought it was cute but the pictures don't do it justice. I had stayed at a 5 star hotel during my stay in Portugal and I enjoyed this adorable Chalet just as much. The property had so much character and charm and I absolutely loved our room. It was very clean and well decorated. I just loved everything about this stay. Wish I could have stayed longer than one night. Will return someday and stay longer.
