This is the sort of home we hope to find every time we open a front door. The style is beautiful with strong mid-century vibes, bringing Mad Men era New York to Lisbon – there's even an iconic Eames chair to recline in. There are plenty of abstract artworks to admire, a patterned rug to sink your toes into, and a slick kitchen that you can use to whip up home-cooked meals or just open the odd bottle of wine. The whole building was revamped pretty recently, which allowed the owners to put in a selection of high quality facilities and design features. The surrounding Santa Catarina neighbourhood puts you within walking distance of both Bairro Alto and Chiado, and less than fifteen minutes away from the Tagus River. And, with local restaurants, artisanal shops and those renowned Portuguese bakeries on your doorstep, you don't need to go for to get a true taste of Lisbon.

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.
