Sleep on a Sailboat in Lisbon a unique stay

Expérience originale

Ricordatevi che state dormendo in una barca. Come tutte le barche il materasso non è come quello di un albergo. Non potete fare una doccia seria in barca ma dovete recarvi ai bagni del marina. Per chi ama dormire in barca va benissimo. La barca è spaziosa. Il titolare è molto cortese e disponibile.

La pulizia va migliorata. Le cime di ormeggio sfregano sullo scafo e fanno molto rumore di notte.

I stayed on the boat for 4 nights and finished the book I am writing there! Quiet, peaceful, clean, close to restaurants, etc.

Bow Bed was a shade thin but I slept well. Everything else was excellent.

Fantastyczna atmosfera, nocleg zupełnie inny niż pozostałe. Cisza i spokój od zgiełku miasta (ale warto mieć stopery bo przy falach mogą przeszkadzać dźwięki lin), świetny morski klimat. Gospodarz Paulo bardzo pomocny i rzeczowy, tydzień przed przyjazdem zapytałem jakie temperatury panują na jachcie o tej porze roku (połowa listopada) aby się po prostu odpowiednio przygotować, a po naszej rozmowie Paulo z własnej inicjatywy zainstalował ogrzewanie, które zresztą świetnie dawało radę. Oczywiście trzeba wziąć pod uwagę że to jacht a nie hotel, więc należy mieć pewną sprawność fizyczną i nie oczekiwać cudów, co nam bardzo pasowało, bo wolimy przygodę niż hotelową wygodę. Przed przyjazdem spodziewaliśmy się, że będzie mniej miejsca niż naprawdę jest. Ogólnie z żoną byliśmy zachwyceni.

Nic, było świetnie.

Nothing

I booked the boat for 11 nights for my son’s wedding and was really looking forward to it. At check-in, the owner told me I could not stay on the boat because he was afraid of losing his license if something happened to me. It was his decision to refuse me access. Because of this, I could not use the booking at all, even though I paid the full price. The owner arranged another hotel, but I had to pay for it myself. In the end, I had double costs and no service from the original booking. As he requested, I tried to cancel through Booking. But the system only allows a full cancellation, not a partial one. I did this because I understood it was necessary so he could rebook some nights and refund me part of the money. Unfortunately, the calendar stayed blocked, so no new reservations were possible. Later, he blamed me for this, even though I only tried to follow his instructions. I asked him several times for a fair solution, like rebooking or a partial refund. He refused all options. In the end, I paid for 11 nights, but I could not stay even one night on the boat. This was a big financial loss and a huge disappointment. Instead of enjoying the time around my son’s wedding, I had to deal with extra costs, stress, and unhelpful discussions with the owner. I had hoped for at least some goodwill, but unfortunately, there was none.

Toller Gastgeber, gute Lage. Wir wussten dass es sich um ein Boot mit beschränktem Platzangebot handelt und das Komfort mit einem guten Hotel nicht zu vergleichen ist. Das sollte jedem vorher klar sein, dann wird es ein schönes Erlebnis.

Es war in der Nacht etwas laut, sonst alles gut.

El barco es muy cómodo pero cuando llueve no se puede alquilar porque entra agua en todos los ambientes, mojando almohadas, sillones, instalaciones del baño, etc.

Perfect stay on a comfortable, well equipped boat. Situated in a beautiful harbour behind a working dock, only 5 mins from Lisbon by public transport. Enjoyed gorgeous sunrises and sunsets, and long relaxing mornings on the deck - would definitely stay again :-)

Nothing - it was a great stay!

Quiet, nice area, close to restaurants and safe.

The difficulty of getting on and off the yatch. There was nowhere to store our luggage on board. We were not used to toilet facilities.... our expectations were too high.
