Casa Amora Studios

Once again my research paid off, we were both so very happy with the choice of staying out of the city centre, as it always does. Arriving directly from the international airport via the metro system we were given the most delightful and unexpected welcome by Paulo at 2100, after being given instructions and tips for our five night stay in the studio apartment Paulo took us outside for a small tour of the immediate neighbourhood, a wonderful start to our vacation. Our ground floor apartment had all the amenities that we needed for self-catering if we so chose. Each morning we looked forward to the knock on the door at our preferred time for the delivery of our breakfast supplies in a wooden crate, we did not go hungry. The bed was comfortable, the room could be darkened sufficiently and air-con worked well for a pleasant night sleep. Street noise was minimal but we chose to sleep with the windows closed and air-con on for the best solution. Across from the apartment building was a delightful shady park were the locals congregated at the park cafe while children played in the playground. We enjoyed it also. It was a real treat to also see a remaining section of the Aqueduct and Water Reservior. A short walk away from the apartment was a supermarket, further on were bars, restaurants, public transport options, gelato and more. The walk into the centre took about thirty minutes, a great way to discover a new destionation. We would stay here again without hesitation.
