Apartments don’t come much more poetic than this one, located in Lisbon’s historic Chiado district. With its living room and bedroom’s Juliet balconies, greet the day by opening up their respective French doors and gazing out across the city’s red rooftops towards São Jorge Castle and the Tagus River beyond. Make yourself at home at the window-side table for sunny breakfasts over coffee and pasteis de nata, or sit down to intimate dinners while the sound of Fado and street music drifts up to serenade your evening. With a cool, monochrome bedroom that’s as slick as it is comfortable and a bathtub to retreat to for long soaks after a day of sightseeing, you’ve got everything you need for a relaxing, care-free stay. When you’re not hanging out in your chic city pad, go out and explore your surroundings. Peruse the shelves at Bertrand – the world's oldest bookstore – a one-minute-minute walk away, visit the Carmo Convent and the Santa Justa Lift (both under five minutes away on foot) and soak up the lively atmosphere at Praça do Comércio, a ten-minute stroll from your door. With the Alfama district and São Jorge Castle a fifteen-minute walk away as well,... you couldn’t be better placed to experience the best of Lisbon.

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.
