Hi, I'm Isabel.
I like to say I love food and cooking is one of my top pleasures as long as receiving friends. The idea is to introduce you to a traditional home meal, paired with good wines. I live with my two daughters and with a nice dog (if you don t like he will go for an holiday). Some years ago I decided to live in a nice comfortably city centre flat, in a 18th century building. I love history and art and Lisbon is full of historical examples of our long past as a country: "Hosted in a real Lisbon home" • "Not a restaurant" • "Warm, welcoming, safe, personal" • "Perfect for first-time visitors" This experience is especially loved by guests from the USA, Canada and european countries who want something autentic, personal, and far from tourist crowds. I have some insider tips and local secrets to share. “If you have any questions I will be happy to help you plan a special evening in Lisbon”.
