Welcome to our place
Glad to finally meet you.
Our Story
Our story
Flattered began with three friends united by a shared love for travel, thoughtful spaces and genuine hospitality.
What started as a small hospitality project gradually evolved into a collection of stays created to make people feel truly at home. Spaces connected to local neighbourhoods, culture and a slower, more meaningful way of experiencing Portugal.
More than apartments, Flattered is about comfort, care and the feeling of being warmly welcomed from the very first moment.
Flattered Apartments is not the usual stay experience. It’s a place where guests are genuinely cared for. A place that is design focused, but that manages at the same time to evoke a warm, comforting feeling of being at home.

People / Sustainability /Interior Design
Our best-kept secret. Our people.
They are the reason we manage to offer you an exclusive and heartwarming experience. They go the extra mile to offer you the best advice, book you the best places, arrange for that hairdresser appointment, chat about local politics while sharing a glass of Port, or sometimes just leave you alone. We wouldn’t be Flattered without each one of them.
Breakfast basket
Each morning our team sources the best local seasonal products to set up your breakfast basket. From an array of different types of bread and pastries, to organically grown fruits, juices, homemade jams, and local delicacies we go the extra mile to offer you the best breakfast that a basket can hold.
Comfort. /ˈkʌmfət/ noun
1. a state of physical ease and freedom from pain or constraint.
2. the easing or alleviation of a person’s feelings of grief or distress.
By definition, comfort is a word that translates to the absence or alleviation of pain or distress. Which for sure can be translated into multiple iterations depending on personal beliefs and cultural background.
At Flattered, we believe that by creating our physical spaces, more than alleviating pain, we are able to create an atmosphere that facilitates you to engage with your emotions.
Gratitude, togetherness, enjoying simple pleasures, mindfulness, and joy. All the things that make staying with us a memorable experience.
Sustainability
The big word in everybody’s mouth comprises a lot more than one might think. To those less acquainted with the world of sustainability, it involves a deep thoughtful look into social, economic, and environmental aspects of one’s everyday life as a business.
Based on the UN’s Chart of Sustainable Development Goals, we are taking into practice a set of principles that will allow us to take firm steps toward becoming the most sustainable company we can be. The road ahead is bumpy and we, as imperfect environmentalists, are aware that many challenges lie ahead. Join us in our mission to help tourism become more meaningful and friendlier.
The power of change is you and your choices.
Interior Design
We design to inspire. Ambitious as it sounds it wouldn’t feel right if we did otherwise. Our interiors are a mix of cross-references including custom-made designs, vintage pieces, and a selection of designer items by brands like De La Espada, Hay, Kartell, Flos, Artek, Ingo Maurer, &Tradition, Kvadrat, Gubi, among others.
It’s an arrangement of small details that revolve around architecture, furniture, objects, placement, lighting, colors, and visual consistency to inspire a sense of belonging and tranquility. An encouragement to linger and relax.
We hope you feel the same.

Flattered Stories
People come here to explore. To recharge. To wander. They want to connect in a way you can’t unless you’re a local. All of them come as strangers but end up being part of our community.
