Discover the charm of staying in a 150-year-old windmill, fully renovated yet rich in original details. Ideal for romantic escapes, families or travelers seeking countryside peace just 10 min from Lisbon. Over 600 guests say we offer the best view of Lisbon — read the reviews! Enjoy sunsets over the Tagus, a pool to refresh in spring and summer, a treehouse, and a functional kitchen. Climb the historic stairs to reach the most stunning views.

The space
5 min walking distance to the Fluvial station of Porto Brandão from which a 10min boat trip will take you directly to Belém.

The Windmill was totally refurbished but kept the original feel, with practically no alterations to the original structure preserving all stones, windows and iron pieces as initially found when the property was purchased.

This accommodation offers the unique experience of sleeping on a building with more than 150 years of history, originally used for grinding flour to be sent to feed the inhabitants of Lisboa. In the kitchen on the ground floor you’ll find 5 millstones that will bring you closer to this past time.

This cozy Windmill is equipped with a very comfortable bed for well-rested nights and a lounge area that provides a great spot to chill at sunset, enjoy a glass of wine or even to have a meal, but that can also accommodate 2 additional people on a double mattress.

Adding to the character and comfort found in this Windmill you'll find stunning views from here. You'll be able to see several sights along the river such as the 25 de Abril bridge, MAAT, Electricity Museum, Padrão dos Descobrimentos, Jerónimos Monastery and as far as the Sintra's Palácio da Pena goes. Depending on the time of the year you will also be presented with blossoming trees, be able to pick fruits directly from them, or even enjoy a meal on top of an olive tree treehouse.

Ideal for slow-paced tourism, nature lovers, romantic escapes, or family trips this accommodation offers plenty of opportunities due to its characteristics, vicinity to cosmopolitan Lisboa and a bunch of interesting sites.
