Casas do Soito | House in Lapa dos Dinheiros

Positive: Amazing luxury hotel on top of a mountain with fabulous food and the most helpful & welcoming staff. It has natural waterfalls within the grounds, great air con and the most comfortable beds. The £45 set dinner with wine was great & breakfast substantial!

Negative: We loved everything about this hotel 🥰

Positive: Beautiful architect-renovated traditional house, very nice interiors and furniture, lots of space, massive bedrooms, amazing breakfast bought each morning with just-baked bread, great facilities, lots of terraces and shared pool, great views, staff helpfull

Negative: Access along un-made road was only drawback

Positive: Super nice view, good apartment and super nice staff! Very recommended, but please make sure you are a good driver, as it is hard to get to apartment on a very narrow streets.

Negative: Breakfasts was good, but I've traveled with 4 adults and 2 childrens. Breakfast was too small for such number of people. However, if your family is not so big, the breakfasts will be good for you.

Positive: I liked the size of the houses The view, the service, design and the exceptional experience made by the staff and the place itself ( 2025 winner of Michelin Guide key)

Negative: That I didn’t knew nothing about out this place.

Positive: Staff were kind, house was clean and well equipped, view was amazing and food was wonderful.

Negative: Parking the car in the street

Positive: The apartment is very spacious, with a simple but pleasant interior. There are two large rooms, each with a big bed and a comfortable mattress. Each room has its own bathroom. The fridge and washing machine make the stay more convenient. The kitchenette is small and could use a bit of renovation, but it’s sufficient for a short stay. There’s also a coffee machine, which is a nice bonus in the mornings. Two sofas on the ground floor are great for spending time with friends, and there are plenty of chairs as well. A good choice for a stay with friends. Breakfast is very simple but tasty. Fresh, still-warm bread every morning creates a cozy atmosphere and puts you in a good mood for the day. There’s also an option to have dinner at the nearby restaurant — the price is €45 per person. The view from the terrace is beautiful, and the pool is great too. Just keep in mind that the outdoor space and pool are shared with guests from another apartment.

Negative: It wasn’t immediately clear that the apartments are part of a hotel, so we were a bit surprised when a cleaner came in daily to take out the trash while we were out. It would be helpful to inform guests about this service in advance. The apartment has a charming rustic design, but there are some safety concerns to consider — especially for families with small children. The staircase to the second floor is long and steep, with stone steps, so extra care is needed when going up and down. The flooring is also made of stone, and some thresholds are quite high. There are several sharp stone corners throughout the space, which could be a hazard for toddlers. Access to the pool requires climbing about 70 steep steps, which may be challenging for families with young children or anyone with mobility issues. The terraces offer stunning views, but they are not well-suited for toddlers, as they are quite open and elevated. We also noticed a persistent musty smell in the apartment, likely due to dampness or mold. Some ventilation or additional airing out between guests could help improve this. Overall, this place could be a lovely option for adults or families with older children who can safely navigate the stairs and stone features. A few small adjustments — like clearer communication, improved child safety, and better ventilation — could make the stay even more comfortable for a wider range of guests.

Positive: Amazing

Negative: Nothing. Everting was great.

Positive: Accommodation with a beautiful view in the upper part of the city. The accommodation also included a nice terrace with a view and a swimming pool. The apartment was very nicely and practically furnished. The breakfast they brought us from the Lapa hotel was rich and practically packed in a basket so that we could have it on the terrace.

Negative: The swimming pool had a wonderful view but at the cost of having to climb 67 steps to get to it. The access to the accommodation is not easy but the staff is helpful and happy to show the way.

Positive: Everything!! I cant explain what i liked most :) everything is perfect. Its much more than the photos

Negative: Nothing
