Perfect for solo travellers and romantic getaways, this apartment has plenty of room for two. It's super stylish and little details like a desk and record player make all the difference. Sure, the galley kitchen is compact, but it has everything you need to rustle up dinner. There's even a balcony – although there's nowhere to sit, it's still a nice spot to savour a coffee and watch the neighbourhood wake up. Estrela is a great base, especially if you like to stroll along scenic streets and relax in quaint eateries. Make sure to swing by the Basilica da Estrela before hopping on a bus to the centre for further sightseeing.

Local guide
About Estrela
The urban settlement in Estrela was founded in the 18th Century when Lisbon expanded and nobility started building in the area. With the majestic architectural standard established, Estrela has maintained a high number of well-preserved palaces and mansions. This neighbourhood is a great place to stay if you want to escape the mass tourism of Central Lisbon. It's more of a rest and recharge zone, far away from the city...
