Absolutely incredible hotel in Lisbon. The pictures don’t even begin to do it justice. Highly recommend.

Beautiful boutique hotel with an amazing restaurant. It is tucked away with lovely views of the river.

Better than the description and photos on the website. Top 3 hotel experiences in Europe. Definitely make dinner reservations at Ceia.

This is hands down one of the best hotels I have ever stayed at. Every detail is curated to perfection. The property is beautiful, with a vibe that is calm, relaxing and friendly. The homemade breakfast was healthy and simply delicious. I can’t wait to visit again.

We had an incredible stay at Santa Clara1728. As it was our first time in Portugal, we really appreciated all of the maps the Santa Clara team curated for guests to explore the different neighborhoods. Tanira and team provided us with plenty of recommendations from shopping, dining and sightseeing both prior to our arrival as well as during our stay. Though we didn’t have nearly enough time to do everything this trip, it only gives incentive to return and discover more gems around the country. We arranged for a private tour to Sintra, Cascais, etc (for the northern side of Portugal). Nuno was an absolute pleasure as he brought us around. The day was absolute perfection. He provided us with a lot of information along the way and kept us intrigued and eager to know more about the history of Portugal. We mostly used uber to get around in town when we weren't walking or using the Rails 28. The chefs made the most beautiful of spreads each morning. The display was as appetizing as the food was too! We only wish that we would’ve been able to indulge in the dinner at Ceia too. The room is an idyllic dream. The attention to detail provided us with so much peace and tranquility- wouldn’t even know we were in the middle of a city. The bed felt like a cloud, which made it difficult to want to leave to explore. The shower and bathtub are so gorgeous and really give the room such charm. We adored the handwritten notes and appreciated little treats left behind for us as well. We hope to return another time, maybe a different property to experience another side of the country.

What can I say? This house is as close to perfect as one would hope. They advertise it as your home away from home but it’s far better than that. If your home was perfectly appointed and just the right amount of minimalistic, then you’d be home. Breakfasts and dinners at Ceia are delicious and thoughtfully constructed. Staff is attentive and extremely helpful. I didn’t even mind the lack of A/C in July because everything is so top notch. Would stay again in a heartbeat. xo!
