Housed in a beautiful azulejo-clad building dating back to 1830, this luxurious boutique studio apartment is the ideal base for those looking to explore the city in style. Every inch of this home has been carefully curated with design and relaxation in mind, from the luxurious bedding to the calm neutral palette and the dazzling white marble bathroom. We love the sunny breakfast table that invites you to feast on coffee and fresh pastéis de nata from a local bakery while planning your day’s events. Alternatively, enjoy breakfast in the downstairs restaurant or treat yourself to room service. If you’re looking to take your relaxation up a notch, book a massage to help you get into the holiday mood, or instead, let your adventurous side out with a segway tour, boat excursion or helicopter ride – your host is happy to arrange all of these. Evenings call for sundowners in the shared garden and nightcaps in the on-site bar before retreating to your chic studio for a blissful night’s sleep. When you’re not taking advantage of your home’s superb amenities, go out and explore the city. You’re just a fifteen-minute walk from the Alfama and its historic São Jorge Castle, a fourteen-minute stroll from the Santa Justa lift, while all around your hip Intendente neighbourhood you’ll find quirky bars, cool restaurants, and vintage markets to explore.

Local guide
About Intendente
The Mayor of Lisbon moved his office into Intendente in 2012, giving it the infusion of funds needed to rebuild and elevate this often forgotten part of town. Only a decade ago, Intendente was in bad shape, but the revitalising initiatives have created an unexpected consequence – an incredible culinary scene, where everything goes. There are still some rough edges, but most of the previously abandoned buildings now home indie record stores, craft fairs, and art galleries. We suggest you start your trip in Largo Café, the artsy meeting point for locals and visitors.

Eat pastéis de nata at Confeitaria Nacional

Visit the indestructible Igreja São Domingos

Discover amazing seafood at Ramiro
The locals call it the best marisqueira in Lisbon. There's usually a wait for a table, but you can grab a drink and watch the plates go by while you wait.
Relax with a view at Jardim do Torel
This public garden at the top of a hill opened in the 1960s. With a view over Avenida da Liberdade and all of downtown, it remains one of the best hideaways in the city.
Try Northern Cuisine at Solar dos Presuntos
Solar dos Presuntos opened its doors more than forty years ago, preserving the great tradition of Minho cuisine from the North of Portugal.
Have a steak at Carvoaria Jacto
For over four decades, Carvoaria Jacto has continued to serve deliciously tender and succulent steaks – a must for all meat lovers.
Take in the view at Senhora de Monte Viewpoint
Lisbon is a city of rooftop bars and viewpoints. Nuestra Senhora de Monte is on everybody's top three list. Need we say more?
Drink an espresso at Café Nicola
This traditional café opened in 1787 and was known as the Academia in the golden times where many intellectuals used to meet here. There is a statue of poet Bocage and nice paintings inside
Go up the hill in the historic Lavra funicular
The Lavra funicular opened to the public on April 19th 1884, connecting the Anunciada Square to Câmara Pestana Street, through Calçada do Lavra. Its the oldest of its kind in Lisbon.
