A home in the vibrant city of Lisbon
Located on a romantic little green square, Praça das Flores, you will notice the pale pink building with impressive green doors. Casa C’Alma offers guests a slow mindful living experience as well as a soulful place to relax, unwind and enjoy. The neighborhood, Principe Real, is just ten minutes walking distance from the city center – a quiet and charming area with several coffee shops, independent stores and cozy restaurants with terraces overlooking the square a few steps away.
The minimalistic and curated boutique hotel only has a few rooms so it’s the perfect place to wake up in the morning in silence, to enjoy a delicious breakfast with Portuguese treats in the sun-filled common living area.
