Tucked away in the middle of Bairro Alto, this convent conversion is a calm refuge for those who want a central location – but without the noise for the most part. Parts of the original structure can still be seen in the studio, such as the arch in the bedroom and the communal terrace, reminding us of the building's rich history. While the studio's own design is more functional than aesthetic, it has plenty of light, some lovely ceramic details and a lovely garden for that sweet Lisbon sun.

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.
