Welcome to Lisbon Apartments and Rooms FeelingLisbon,
My name is Vanda and my husband is Francisco. I’m a computer engineer, and Francisco is a Civil engineer. We have more than 50 and a long life history. I started working in a Big One consulting company and after 25 year in a bank. Francisco worked a few years in a Big Construction enterprise and 25 year in a in their own company by making acquisitions in the historic buildings of Lisbon and after rehabilitation. But booth of us with a knack for marketing, entrepreneurship and design (I guess it's a good thing).
The inspiration for FeelingLisbon Apartments came to Francisco one evening in 2009, just after a family trip to Italy, that we stay in a family house in Florence and with the crisis in Portugal, many of our friends left their homes and we had some houses. We started FeelingLisbon Apartments to give people a new way to experience a place. Handmade hospitality, for stays in the finest homes. They hold the key, not just to their own front doors, but to something much bigger. A new era of hospitality.
Well, the first thing we did was a business plan (engineering things!).
So, we used the knowledge we've earned from college together with creativity to deliver the best experience possible to our guests and it made me really proud so far by the feedback people gave me!
I leave the bank and I am totally engaged with FeelingLisbon Apartments.
And my new goal its to provide the best local experiences, as well as unforgettable, unique memories.
Support local communities and local artisans, street artists...
Get a brilliant insight into local history and traditions.
Connect cultures and make new friends.
As our children have studied and worked outside Portugal, we have learned from their needs, and we will apply this knowledge here in Lisbon, creating the conditions to provide the best stay for, entrepreneurs, corporate people traveling by one or more months and expats.
In our personal live, we had two kids - a 25 years girl study in Germany Mechanical engineer and the 22 boy study Tourism. We like travel by all Europe and USA, but Francisco love Africa too. When we travel we like to stay at home!!! We like music, I love Bryan Adams , Bruce Springsteen, U2 .... and Adele ... Francisco love Classical music, we love fado like Carminho, Ana Moura or Gisela João. We love theatre, and painting. Me I am LOVE street art... we love food, sun and walk the dogs on the beach...
Hope you've enjoyed my story and thank you for your time!
