About Us
GERONIMO’S GUEST HOUSE BELÉM is the product of a renovation of a traditional Portuguese family’s home into a small, cozy, intimate and inviting lodge, located in the center of Belém and less than two minutes away (walking distance) from both Jerónimos Monastery and the margins of the Tagus river.
All of the five suites are equipped with air conditioning, cable television, minibar (no drinks available), fast Wi-Fi, a safe-box and hair dryer. The original furniture and décor of the house have been kept and rehabilitated to create a singular experience in each suite, which tell a different Portuguese story about the country’s presence in the World.
The common areas of the property are shared with the owner as well as with his family and his pets.
The garden of about 160 m2, has an outdoor Jacuzzi and several areas where you can relax, drink your coffee and tea or enjoy the sun while listening to the sound of nature.
Breakfast is not served as there is a broad and rich variety of great places where you can eat such as the likes of the well renowned Pastéis de Belém to several traditional bakeries and coffee shops.
In the guesthouse’s surroundings you will see the major Portuguese golden era monuments from its maritime expansion period such as Belém’s Tower and the infamous Discoveries Monument, among several museums and magnificent gardens, all less than five minutes away walking.
You will also find a vast offer of restaurants, whether you are looking for traditional Portuguese restaurants, fancy establishments or cheap bites.
Some of the paintings that garnish the suites and common areas were provided by the house’s owner whilst others were painted by Portuguese artist Liliana Oliveira. These paintings are available for sale if that is your intent.
The bus and tram stop are just a 2-minute walk and provide access to the city center, which takes you around 15 minutes (6 km).
We hope you will enjoy the experience in Geronimo Guest House Belém.
