Lisbon Weekend House Rentals

The Handshake

Santa Maria Maior, Lisbon

This home feels comfortable, high-end, and characterful. It’s hard to ask for more, but we picked it apart and here’s what we found.

Marquis Cross

Santa Maria Maior, Lisbon

Marquis Cross blends the new and the traditional very well. The host has preserved parts of the original gaiola Pombalina (the wooden framework around which these buildings were constructed), but much of the rest of the flat is far more modern.

The Sunny Rhino

• 4 guests

• 2 bedrooms

Santa Maria Maior, Lisbon

From the Azulejo style tiles in the kitchen to the lemon-yellow flourishes and wooden floors in the living room, this bijou apartment radiates classic Portuguese charm. It straddles the central streets between Baixa and Alfama, where yellow trams trundle past and the smell of pastel de nata floats from nearby bakeries.
