In a city that gets 300 days of sunshine a year, you’ll be spending most of your time outdoors. But during downtimes and breaks between activities, you’ll need a comfortable base – and this place is just the ticket. Whitewashed and filled with natural light, breakfasts by the windows and stolen moments on the chaise lounge with your favourite book are hard to beat. The comfortable bedrooms with Juliet balconies ensure you never miss a second of the glorious weather and the crisp linens guarantee a blissful night’s sleep. Your Penha de França locale is peppered with best-kept secrets, from wine bars to viewpoints, and you’re only a ten-minute walk to Graça’s laidback hangouts. A breezy twenty-minute stroll down the hill takes you to old town Alfama, while a ten-minute car ride places you in the heart of the downtown Baixa-Chiado district.
