toctoctocLisboa
Bohemian chic with Haussmann and vintage touches. French-influenced design sensibility layered over a very Lisbon soul — think well-traveled owners who collected objects from around the world and arranged them beautifully.
The Lumiar room on the 5th floor has a private terrace overlooking Lisbon's rooftops — worth requesting if available
Why It Matters
Ranked #2 of 416 B&Bs and inns in Lisbon on Tripadvisor with a perfect 5/5. Curated by Tablet Hotels. Featured in Le Figaro's private hotels of Lisbon selection. Each room is individually decorated and named after a Lisbon neighborhood — no two are remotely alike. Owners Olivier and Pascale are hands-on and genuinely warm.
Ten rooms, one terracotta facade, and a hidden garden that makes you forget you're in the middle of one of Europe's hottest cities. toctoctocLisboa sits between the Estrela Garden, the antique dealers of Rua de São Bento, and the neighborhood square of Praça das Flores — a genuinely residential pocket of Lisbon that most visitors never find. Behind the azulejo-tiled exterior, every room tells a different story: Jaipur wallpaper with jade green ceilings, Christian Lacroix prints, cobalt Klein-blue panels, 1970s vintage wallpaper. In summer the garden handles breakfast and evening drinks; from October onward the fireplace lobby takes over.
Where You'll Stay
10 room types available
ALCANTARA
Second floor room and one of the largest in the house at 28m². 1970s-print wallpaper with a cinnamon-coloured ceiling and vintage lighting create a warm retro atmosphere. Balcony with city views. Large mosaic bathroom — notably roomier than most rooms in this category.
Queen (160cm) · 28 sqmALFAMA
Third floor room with grey and white pastel walls, raffia lighting, and natural objects of curiosity. Light, airy, bohemian chic feel — the aesthetic shifts from Haussmann to something closer to coastal. Balcony overlooking the street.
King (180cm, converts to twin 2x90cm) · 27 sqm
ALMADA
Third floor room with green pastel and white walls, raffia lighting, and natural-toned objects. Overlooks the garden and patio — one of the calmer views in the house. Same relaxed bohemian chic register as Alfama and Caparica.
King (180cm, converts to twin 2x90cm) · 25 sqm
BEATO
The smallest room in the house at 14m² and designed specifically for solo and business travelers. But it does not feel neglected — stylish Portuguese-tiled bathroom, safe box, king-size bed, and direct access to a shared common space with a desk and library. Garden view. Honest about what it is, and priced accordingly.
King · 14 sqmCAPARICA
Third floor room with blue and white pastel walls and raffia lighting. Overlooks the garden and patio. Named after the wild Atlantic beaches just south of Lisbon, and the room has a similarly breezy, natural feel. Compact but smartly designed.
King (180cm, converts to twin 2x90cm) · 21 sqmESTRELA
First floor room with Jaipur-print wallpaper that conjures images of palace courtyards in bright colour. Jade green ceiling with decorative moulding, chandelier lighting, and curios from around the world give it a warm Haussmann ambiance. Has a glass balcony and shared access to the planted patio next door to Graça — the two rooms can effectively be combined for a private courtyard.
King (180cm, converts to twin 2x90cm) · 25 sqmGRAÇA
First floor room with Talamone wallpaper, a yellow ochre ceiling with moulding, and a bamboo garden motif throughout. Direct access to the shared planted patio — especially good if booked alongside the Estrela room for a private terrace experience. Cosier at 19m² but not cramped.
Queen (160cm) · 19 sqmLAPA
First floor room dressed in Christian Lacroix 'Paseo' printed wallpaper with a deep navy blue ceiling and chandelier. The balcony is flower-decorated with city views. Classic Haussmann feel softened by eclectic travel objects. One of the most visually striking rooms in the house.
Queen (160cm) · 25 sqm
LUMIAR
The one that people remember. Fifth floor, reached by elevator to the 4th floor and then a floating iron staircase. Pierre Frey wallpaper and raw concrete panels inside; a private terrace looking out over Lisbon's rooftops outside. The bathroom has Portuguese azulejo tiles and a glass door accessed through a deliberately low-cut ceiling opening. If it's available, ask for it.
Double · 25 sqmMARVILA
Second floor room with a decidedly industrial personality — 3D Klein-blue painted panels, a glass headboard, cinema-style spotlights. Garden view. One of the more dramatic rooms in terms of design, and the only one channeling Yves Klein's cobalt palette.
