I flew back from Lisbon - just under two weeks ago.
The lounge is very easy to find. After security - which was moving at a rather brisk pace (this was a Sunday morning), up the escalator and it is on the right alongside the small football kit shop.
There is the usual BA stand outside displaying the Emerald and Sapphire status symbols. I *think* it had Club Europe listed on it as well however as
PUCCI says it appears to be an Air France lounge first and foremost.
I would say it was relatively new - easily not more than a year old. Smoking and Non Smoking sections, mainly biege leather chairs and tables. Very little food however an extensive range of bottled waters, etc.
Be weary of the container labelled 'mixed juice' though....didn't fancy that at all.
