EuroCheapo review print this page

The Solar dos Mouros is not a Cheapo. Despite this, we find this place is worth every euro. Attractive, intimate, and unpretentious (much like the ideal date), the Mouros has 12 individually decorated rooms and amazing vistas: from some rooms you can see both the castle and the river. This six-story hotel has it all, well, except for an elevator. Expect a hike in rates (and stairs) for better views.

Owned by painter Louis Lemos, the hotel sports a colorful, modern look. Abstract artwork, including much of the owner's, is on display throughout, and décor is a pleasant mix of contemporary design paired with older artifacts.

In general, rooms are spacious and airy with hardwood floors and large windows. Stereos, books, and stylish seating keep it chic. An attic room offers awesome bird's-eye views and an incredible bathroom, though the very low ceiling is better suited for shorter guests. Four suites on the ground floor line a pretty garden. Decorated in bold colors, they have flat-panel televisions and wicker rockers.

There's also an absurdly large apartment with a full kitchen and living room on the ground level. A hatch in the floor leads to an archeological dig. Apparently there are Roman ruins in the basement.

The Mouros isn't cheap, but it does offer promotions every now and again. Rooms can go down to almost €100. Check the Web site.

Note: make sure to call and confirm your reservation before arriving to avoid any overbooking mishaps.

About the Solar dos Mouros neighborhood

To the East of Baixa, Alfama, Lisbon's castle district, sits perched above the Baixa. The Castelo de São Jorge is its crowning glory. The castle, crumbling in places, affords magnificent views of the river and the old city. Having survived the earthquake of 1755, the district is charmingly chaotic, with commercial pockets of restaurants and shops, hillside alleyways, little parks, and broad views over the river. Tremendous views can be glimpsed in between the steep streets sloping down toward the river. The winding, cramped alleys toward the base of the Alfama are especially enticing.
