This French-run hotel near Praça da República has a guesthouse atmosphere and recommended French restaurant. Rooms open onto a long leafy garden and have homely if dated details like wood paneling and decorative rugs. Superiors have lofts and can sleep up to four, albeit somewhat cozily. A dip in the small swimming pool is a nice way to end the day.
