This historic apartment is in the midst of central Lisbon’s old winding streets, and a five-minute walk to the banks of the River Tagus. A ten-minute meander through restaurant-packed alleys and boulevards will see you at Castelo S. Jorge, perched on a hilltop overlooking the city. In the apartment, every detail has been carefully considered – from the curated artwork and avant-garde poetry in the bedroom, to the black and white willow pattern plates in the kitchen cupboards. The building is typical Pombaline-style, from the days of renovation after the 1755 earthquake. The hallways leading to the apartment are adorned with panels made with pieces of tile, salting tubs and stone niches from the former building and the wooden earthquake support now acts as a striking room divider in the kitchen living room. Part of a set of beautifully curated serviced apartments, there is a concierge service and reception in the building to provide you with local recommendations and book restaurants and sightseeing trips.
