Located on the south bank of the river, just a 10-minute boat ride from downtown Lisbon.

Welcome to Cacilhas – Lisbon’s Riverside Gem

Cacilhas sits just across the Tagus River from Lisbon, in Almada. It’s the kind of place where locals linger over fresh seafood lunches, the ferry horn hums in the background, and the city skyline feels close enough to touch. Staying here means you get the best of both worlds: Lisbon’s energy within minutes, but with the calm charm of a traditional riverside town.

? Eating and Drinking

Seafood Heaven: Rua Cândido dos Reis is lined with family-run tascas (taverns) serving grilled fish, octopus salad, and Ameijoas à Bulhão Pato (garlic clams). It’s casual, lively, and delicious.

Riverside Dining: Walk towards the old shipyards and you’ll find warehouses converted into cool restaurants and bars, with outdoor terraces right on the water. Perfect for sunset dinners with a view of Lisbon.

Local Flavors: Try a pastel de nata at a neighborhood café or sip a ginginha (cherry liqueur) after dinner – it’s a Lisbon tradition that Almada happily shares.

? Things to Do and See

Cristo Rei Statue: Just a short bus ride or walk uphill, this monument offers jaw-dropping panoramic views over Lisbon, the 25 de Abril Bridge, and the Tagus River.

Waterfront Walk: Stroll along the river, passing old warehouses, art murals, and viewpoints. It’s peaceful in the mornings and magical at sunset.

Hidden Corners: Explore the semi-abandoned Quinta da Arealva, a photogenic spot mixing street art, ruins, and river views.

Local Life: Simply sit in a praça (square), order a coffee, and watch the day go by — it’s one of the best ways to feel the local rhythm.

? Getting to Lisbon

One of the biggest perks of staying in Cacilhas is the ferry.

The Cacilhas–Cais do Sodré ferry runs every 10–15 minutes, and the ride takes just 8 minutes.

From Cais do Sodré, you’re connected to Lisbon’s metro, trams, and trains — meaning you can reach neighborhoods like Chiado, Alfama, and Belém quickly and easily.

Bonus: the ferry ride itself is part of the fun, with postcard views of the bridge and Lisbon’s skyline.

? Why Stay Here?

Authentic local vibe without the heavy tourist crowds.

Incredible food, from simple taverns to stylish riverfront restaurants.

Easy and fast access to central Lisbon.

Relaxed atmosphere — perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring the city.

Cacilhas is not just a base to visit Lisbon — it’s a destination in its own right. By the end of your stay, you might find yourself torn between crossing the river… or simply staying here and enjoying the view.

Check-in and check-out times

Check-in time is between 17:00 and 22:00 on the start date of your booking unless another time has been agreed with us.

Check-out time is until 11:00 on the last day of your booking unless another time has been agreed with us. Unauthorized late departures will incur additional charges.

On the day of arrival, guests must present their identity documents (passport or identity card) to the owners.

By law, we are obliged to report some personal details of each guest to the Immigration and Borders Service (SEF).

Extra guests

The guest on whose behalf the booking was made must stay in the accommodation as we cannot accept bookings for other people.

Extra people are not allowed beyond the number of people on the reservation.

Airbnb and Booking take this issue so seriously that in the event of a complaint, the booking is canceled and the guest is not entitled to any compensation.

Quiet hours

Quiet hours are from 22:00 to 7:00.

Please keep noise levels to a minimum during this time to ensure a peaceful environment for all guests.

Tobacco and drugs

As a family home, we have a no-smoking policy, so we ask that you do not smoke inside the property

What you do in your personal time is entirely up to you, but when you stay in our home, we have a strict no drugs policy.

Pets

Although animals can be very well-behaved at home, how they will behave in a new space is not a given. And nobody wants to hear a dog barking at 2am or a cat meowing

Unfortunately, the costs of cleaning up after the animal are enormous in order to avoid allergies for the next guests.

And then there's the problem of smell: nobody who has an animal thinks their house smells bad. But anyone who enters the house will smell it immediately. The house would have to be open for 2 or 3 days for the smell to disappear and that's very expensive.

Any violation of this rule will incur an extra cleaning fee.

Parties

For us, the safety and well-being of hosts, guests and the community in general are a priority, so parties and events of any kind are forbidden in the apartment.

Airbnb and Booking take this issue so seriously that in the event of a complaint, the booking is canceled and the guest is not entitled to any compensation.

Garbage and recycling

Please dispose of your garbage in the bin on the day you leave the property. We appreciate your help in separating recyclable materials. The location of the garbage cans can be found in the House Manual.

This small step makes a big difference to the environment and will help us avoid a fine.

Before you leave, wash and put away the dishes and kitchen utensils you have used.

Accidents

Accidents happen. If you damage something, let us know as soon as possible so that we can take care of it.

It is expensive to arrive at the property and discover damage that could lead to your next stay being canceled because there is no time to repair it. In this case, we will request a compensation
