This penthouse apartment housed in a classic Pombaline building has been designed with all your needs in mind. Nestled beneath a beautiful vaulted wood-beamed ceiling and kitted out with Miele and Smeg appliances, the kitchen is a dream to cook in, while the inviting Chesterfield sofas promise relaxing evenings in when you need a break from the city buzz. And let's not forget the private balcony with unbeatable river views – we can't think of a better spot to watch the sun set over the city. Located in historic Bica, it's a four-minute walk from Lisbon's most-photographed cobbled street, Rua da Bica de Duarte Belo, dotted with pretty flower-filled balconies and the iconic 28 tram. Two minutes further, you'll come across the popular Time Out Market. This vibrant indoor selection of food stalls hosts all of the city's most-loved eateries in one place. When you're comfortably full, wind yourself down to the waterfront and sit down to a chilled glass of sangria in the sunshine.

Local guide
About Saldanha
Saldanha is the uptown business district of Lisbon, filled with designer shops and upscale restaurants that contrast the modern buildings where many locals spend their working days. But it's not like Saldanha closes down after five – there's plenty of residents who appreciate the neighbourhood's sleek look. As a consequence, Saldanha has a great fresh food market, a few cosy cafes, parks and everything else you might need for a great stay. The traffic connections are fast and abundant, meaning most parts of Central Lisbon are only a short train ride away.
