Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Made up of two luxurious floors with distinct styles, this is a home for lovers of rustic antiquity and modern minimalism. While the lower level has period features (we love that the old potbelly stove is still in place in the living room), a balcony with views over the street below, and plenty of character, the top floor suite has a very different feel. Downstairs you'll find two of the bedrooms, along with a dining area, modern kitchen, and bathroom. But climb the stairs and you'll enter what feels a lot like a self-contained flat. Ideal if some of your party would prefer a bit more privacy, it's got its own lounge and TV, a sleek kitchenette, work nook, and bathroom. Lit with skylights and painted all white, it's a charming spot to relax in. From this quiet street, it's easy to explore the historic heart of Lisbon. You're just ten minutes away from the Príncipe Real and Santos districts, and your balcony has views across to São Bento Palace.
