Albergaria As Janelas Verdes, 1st category Inn, Lisbon
Next to the National Art Museum in the beautiful Rua das Janelas
Verdes is a small palace dating from the end of the 18th century which is also
called As Janelas Verdes (Green Windows).
The house, like the street of the same name, deserves to be discovered slowly,
little by little, all the time savouring its gentle, romantic, welcoming
atmosphere.
Eça de Queirós, the famous Portuguese novelist, is connected to the hotel by
tradition and there are those who say that he lived and found inspiration here
in this palace for another magical home - "O Ramalhete" in his novel "Os Maias".
The memory of his presence is still very much alive in the atmosphere we find
ourselves immersed in: small objets d'art, books, paintings and mementoes take
us back to another era now being relived.
The rooms are sunny and cheerful. The Tagus is close by. One feels good here…
When Spring arrives, the days begin with a wonderful breakfast served in the
garden while you breathe in the calm of an older Lisbon where it still feels
good to feel love.
