Do you have a question about this home or the local area?

Although this apartment sits in the middle of Lisbon, you'll note that there are a lot of influences from the continent just across the Mediterranean Sea, be it the Arabian arches, the hieroglyphic scrolls or the potted cacti. At the same time, Scandi trends are also detectable in the wooden surfaces, mid-century furnishings and preference for clean lines. As well as showcasing a quirky smorgasbord of global elements, it's easy to feel at home here as well. The wealth of surface space in the glossy kitchen is sure to have you cooking up a storm, while there are plenty of cosy spots to relax, whether in the wicker hammock chair or the super-sleek bathtub. The surrounding neighbourhood of Bica is known for its 19th-century yellow cable car that will take you to other parts of the Portuguese capital, but stick around the local area and you'll find plenty of cafes and restaurants, plus the Time Out Market five minutes' walk away. The Carmo Convent takes under a quarter of an hour to reach on foot, too.

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.
