"The 19-room Hotel da Estrela is a stylish, quirky boutique in a quiet residential area a little out of the way of major attractions." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "Most visitors to Lisbon stay in the delightful but busy Bairro Alto, Lapa, or Alfama districts, but no one is disappointed when they choose one of the quieter, more intimate neighborhoods." Full review

"Located in the oldest part of the capital, Santiago de Alfama's 19 rooms are all different whilst celebrating the best of Portugal." Full review
Fodor's "The magic happens in a reformed 15th Century palace, long-abandoned but now brought beautifully back to life as one of Lisbon's most stylish lodgings." Full review
Travel + Leisure "A derelict 15th-century palace in Alfama is now a discriminating 19-room boutique escape by discerning Dutch hotelier Heleen Uitenbroek, who has stamped a keen sense of place everywhere." Full review
Afar Magazine "The property also has the amenities of a larger hotel, including a spa, meeting space, and two restaurants, including Manny’s Bar for lingering over petiscos and Portuguese specialties." Full review
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"In 2015, Dutch hospitality dreamer Heleen Uitenbroek turned a ruined 15th-century palace into Lisbon's latest luxury sleeps at this 19-room bastion of style." Full review
Michelin Guide "It spans just 19 rooms, which means even the most (relatively) humble room offers ample space to spread out...and the views, thanks to Lisbon’s hilly topography, are impressive." Full review
