Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
With books, board games, a film library, darts and even mini-golf, you certainly won’t be bored at this classic Lisbon home. A beautiful back garden filled with plants, birds and fish makes for the perfect entertaining spot – throw dinner on the grill or pass time idly on the outdoor sofa with some Vinho Verde in hand. The older architecture of the building gives the home plenty of character – we love the high ceilings with plaster moldings, massive working fireplace, and marble floors. There’s an understated elegance to the home and a comfortable, lived-in family vibe, all while preserving the feeling that this stay is entirely unique. You’ll be steps from one of the most magical lookout points in the city – Senhora de Monte – and surrounded by the district of Graça. It has the local atmosphere of an old neighbourhood – full of shops, butchers, restaurants and cafes, while still being central to the sights of the city. Hop on the legendary yellow tram 28, which passes 100 metres in front of the home, and ride it to the top of Lisbon’s hills to admire the city’s architectural treasures. You’re only a twelve-minute walk from the beautiful... buildings and streets of Alfama, where Lisbon’s charm is sure to take hold of you.

Home truths
This home can tend towards being a little shabby around the edges – with some peeling paint, wobbly shelves and loose door handles – we think of it as the perks of an older building
Set over three floors, the stairs can feel steep and the layout won’t be accessible for everyone
The home can sleep nine, although the host accepts only seven adults and two children
A cot and baby highchair are available to guests for an extra fee of €20
There are only two full bathrooms to be shared between all nine guests

Local guide
About Intendente
The Mayor of Lisbon moved his office into Intendente in 2012, giving it the infusion of funds needed to rebuild and elevate this often forgotten part of town. Only a decade ago, Intendente was in bad shape, but the revitalising initiatives have created an unexpected consequence – an incredible culinary scene, where everything goes. There are still some rough edges, but most of the previously abandoned buildings now home indie record stores, craft fairs, and art galleries. We suggest you start your trip in Largo Café, the artsy meeting point for locals and visitors.
