Castle Arch Lisbon

Holiday Rental Description

Located near the entrance to Castelo São Jorge, this apartment is a perfect stay for history lovers – the building itself is over three hundred years old. With traditional wooden ceilings, floors and shutters, this home maintains a warm traditional vibe without compromising on comfort. The street scenes of Alfama below you are a little slice of medieval Lisbon, and you can walk to many of the city's best-loved attractions in just a few minutes. A wander to the Castelo will take just three minutes and, in the opposite direction, you'll find the remains of a Roman theatre built for emperor Nero. As you stroll north, the area will slowly transform into Mouraria, another history-filled neighbourhood which is a pleasure to explore. Your host can also arrange extra-special services for you, ranging from massages and breakfast to helicopter tours and wine tastings. Back at home, you can luxuriate in the hydro massage shower cabin, or pour a nightcap to enjoy on one of the two small balconies as you reflect on your fabulous day.

Home truths:
* The wi-fi is quite patchy – this might not be the best option for those who want to work during their stay
