Overlooking Amoreiras Garden, this ideally located apartment is a peaceful place to return to after busy afternoons spent eating, drinking and sightseeing around Lisbon. Rato metro station is only a short walk away, and there are bus routes on the doorstep. Inside, two guests will sleep on the double bed in the living space – while there is a curtain, it’s not the most private set-up, and there isn’t much in the way of storage. With that said, we think this place is great for a short sojourn.

A curtain separates the double bed from the living space, which may not suit our more private guests.

Local guide
About Campolide
Campolide sits on a hillside overlooking Lisbon, and as such, has incredible views over the city. A mix of historic charm and modern innovation, the construction of the university here in the 1970s turned what was once a quaint area of farmland, vineyards and olive groves into the vibrant area it is today. Its agricultural history can still be seen in the fantastic farmers market that regularly takes place here...
