You’ll be hard pushed to find a better address than the heart of Chiado – especially when you’re mere metres from two of Lisbon’s most revered sites: The Carmo Convent and Santa Justa Lift. The home’s layout is perfect for friends or families who prioritise convenience – there’s a minimalist approach to the interior design with a focus on functionality. Still, your friendly host and their team keep this place spick and span and there are entertainment options for nights in. Step out of your front door and into a current of crowds, swirling around street performers and drifting towards the city’s grand Praça do Comércio square. You’re a ten-minute walk from Pink Street, famous for its eclectic selection of bars and Sol e Pesca restaurant, which received Anthony Bourdain’s seal of approval. The romantic Alfama neighbourhood is a fifteen-minute stroll to the east – be sure to stop for the views at the Miradouro Santa Luzia along the way.

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.
