Settle into this luxuriously appointed one-bedroom apartment, situated with an immaculately renovated 18th-century building, right in the heart of Lisbon's Baixa-Chaido district. With stunning antique pieces, vintage Persian-style rugs and plenty of eye-catching art adorning the walls, the apartment does a splendid job of blending old and new to create something totally unique. An open layout kitchen and living room contribute to the feeling of space provided by the generous floorplan, while elegant arched windows allow in plenty of morning light thanks to their east-facing orientation. Finally, a grand yet compact dining room sits just off the main living space, with stunning exotic wood furniture and a mirrored wall to maximise the feeling of space. Elsewhere, the bedroom is set to stun with a large freestanding tub on one side of the room, and access to a sleek marble en-suite kitted out with a large walk-in shower, twin sinks and high-end products – perfect for a pampering session at the end of the day. Your central location places you within easy reach of many of Lisbon's headline sights, including the spectacular Santa Justa lift and Convento do Carmo. To get an overview of the city, we'd suggest hopping on the iconic 28 tram... for the trundle up to Graça, before wandering back down the hill through the charismatic Alfama district.

Local guide
About Saldanha
Saldanha is the uptown business district of Lisbon, filled with designer shops and upscale restaurants that contrast the modern buildings where many locals spend their working days. But it's not like Saldanha closes down after five – there's plenty of residents who appreciate the neighbourhood's sleek look. As a consequence, Saldanha has a great fresh food market, a few cosy cafes, parks and everything else you might need for a great stay. The traffic connections are fast and abundant, meaning most parts of Central Lisbon are only a short train ride away.
