Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Located in the heart of Baixa, this home is a stone’s throw away from Elevador de Santa Justa, which you can spot from the balcony. Inside the apartment, you'll find soothing tones and plants that create a sense of calm, high above the bustle of this vibrant neighbourhood. With the bedrooms at opposite sides separated by the living space, each with spa-like en-suites, the layout offers tonnes of privacy for small groups. Come evening, you can all come together at the table for a home-cooked meal, before rounding off the day with some alfresco drinks on the balcony. Or, you might like to head out, and visit some of the restaurants and bars this neighbourhood is known for. And, with several of the city's most famous landmarks within walking distance, you don't have to go far to tick off your sightseeing list.

Local guide
About Chiado
Chiado is full of old-world charm, and is one of the best-loved parts of Lisbon. Think pastel-hued homes, cobbled streets and plenty of squares to soak up the atmosphere. There’s a slower pace of life in Chiado, which is why it’s so popular with locals. Hop on a tram to take in the open-air ruin of the Camo church, a Gothic masterpiece that was mostly destroyed in an earthquake, or hit the shops – this is one of Lisbon’s best shopping districts, after all.
