Casa da Ribeira: I'm Casa da Ribeira's digital assistant. I use artificial intelligence. I can help with guest questions and booking requests; if you prefer, I'll hand the conversation to a person at any time.

Casa da Ribeira: Hello James. Happy to help with Casa da Ribeira. What dates are you thinking of?

James: 12 to 16 March, two adults. Is breakfast included and is there parking?

Casa da Ribeira: Breakfast is included, served 8 to 10. There is free street parking nearby and a paid car park two minutes away. Would you like me to pass your request for 12 to 16 March to Teresa?

James: Yes please. Can you confirm the room is available?

Casa da Ribeira: I can't confirm availability myself; Teresa checks the calendar and confirms with you. I've passed the dates on.

James: Great. Also, is it easy to get there from Lisbon airport without a car?

Casa da Ribeira: Yes: train from Cais do Sodré to Cascais, about 40 minutes, then a short taxi or a walk. Teresa can send exact directions once your stay is confirmed. Do you know roughly what time you will arrive?

James: Probably around 6 pm on the 12th.

Casa da Ribeira: Noted: arriving around 18:00 on 12 March. Teresa confirms availability and replies to you here.
