Saint George's Sanctuary Lisbon

Property Description

This bright, open-plan studio in the middle of Alfama is a perfect stay for those who want to get up close and personal with historical Lisbon. The apartment is a good size, with a separate dining area and a lounging corner that lends it a cosy vibe, while the use of marble in the bathroom adds a few style points. Staying here puts you within a few minutes' walk of hilltop Castelo São Jorge and many other central sights – perfect for a first-time visitor. You're also conveniently close to a stop on the iconic number 12 tram's route, which means you can put your feet up after a day of exploring at your own pace. To end the day as the locals do, we'd suggest grabbing a seat outside the bohemian bar, Botequim. This iconic Lisbon watering hole is an excellent spot for a sunset glass of local wine.
