Come and stay in our spacious apartment in the historic centre of Lisbon which is packed with old charm and has a truly traditional feel.
The space: The 150 sq metre apartment is on the first floor in a traditional, elegantly appointed building (circa 1880), with lift and 3 balconies at the front.
Recently renovated to modern high standards, it has all the comforts to make you feel cosy. It is also packed full of original features - stucco ceilings, original windows, shutters and old Portuguese tiles.
The accommodation: There are 2 double bedrooms, both with double beds. The third bedroom has 1 single bed. We have a travel cot for babies. The apartment can sleep a maximum of 5 people (plus potentially 1 baby). There are 2 recently installed bathrooms, living room, dining room and fully equipped kitchen. Furnished in traditional style with antique furniture, Persian carpets, and Portuguese hydraulic mosaic tiles, but with modern touches.
Bedrooms are fully equipped with hotel quality sheets. There is gas central heating throughout the property. Fresh towels provided.
Kitchen has gas cooker, electric oven, microwave, coffee machine, washing machine and dryer. Bathrooms have powerful showers, and the biggest one has a full sized bathtub and bidet.
The living/dining room has comfy sofas, leather armchairs, and dining table. There is satellite TV (with international channels), DVD player and music centre to play your music. The house has a very fast broadband wifi of 1Gigabytes, that works all over.
The place has a great feeling of space with 3.5 metre ceilings, but the décor is comfortable and cosy.
The neighbourhood: Located in the central area of Santos, 5 minutes away from the French embassy, it is a trendy district surrounded by shops, great restaurants, and museums. Great for wandering around and exploring. The Museum of Art and Antiquities is 10 minutes walk further along our street. We are also a few minutes walk from Cais de Sodre which has many fun bars and clubs, and also the TimeOut market. It is also within easy walk of central Lisbon and the riverfront where you can take a 30 minute train to beaches or a shorter one to Belem attractions. The neighbours are well heeled Portuguese, many of whom have lived there for decades.
Getting around: Tram number 25 runs at the bottom of our street. It is 20-minute walk to central Lisbon (Rossio). The nearest metro station is Cais do Sodre (10 minutes walk), and the nearest rail station is Santos with trains to the beach in Cascais. Taxi rank at the bottom of the street. Uber is very affordable in Lisbon.
This would be the perfect place for groups of friends, couples or small families.
Come and stay in our lovely traditional Lisbon apartment!
Guest access: You rent the entire apartment. There is a paid underground car park about 3 minutes walk away, on largo Vitorino Damasio. Also a cheaper open air one across the train station (Santos).
Check in/contact: We live in Scotland so we have our friend Iola (English speaking) to meet you to check in and out, and be on hand locally if there are any problems during your stay.
