Cool Unity Lisbon

Property Description

Sharing a wall with São Vicente da Fora monastery, this stylish apartment will get you up close and personal with Alfama’s history and pre-earthquake architecture.

Inside the home, expect a generous use of wood and mid-century modern furniture. There’s a cosy living area with a desk should you need to work during your stay and a compact kitchenette with all the essentials you’ll need for putting together quick meals. After a cup of coffee and a traditional sweet pastry in the sunshine of the communal courtyard, head into the higgledy-piggledy streets that surround your pad.

Explore São Jorge Castle, a ten-minute walk away, before catching the iconic tram 28 to Baxia, Lisbon’s downtown district. Shop along the Rua Augusta, people watch in the elegant Praça do Comércio and admire the River Tagus from the top of the Santa Justa Lift.
