If you wander through the winding streets of the Mouraria neighbourhood, you might come across this traditional apartment building, clad in delicately patterned tiles. You might expect that the inside will be similarly traditional, but this flat is sleek and modern, inspired by Scandi-style minimalism rather than the typical Portuguese design. In spite of being closer to an apart-hotel than a private residence, we liked having the friendly concierge team on-hand offer a variety of services – from massages to tour guides they have the best contacts in town. And, while it's still disputed whether fado was born in Mouraria or the Alfama area, one thing is for certain – the streets that surround this apartment are full of fado houses and monuments to the music. Grab a glass of port, sit back, and be transported back hundreds of years by these haunting melodies.

Home truths

    There is a large step to the bedroom and unfortunately there's no ramp for wheelchair users

    The sleeping area is just off the communal areas with a thin barrier, so it's not a totally separate bedroom

    The kitchen counter space is quite small, so it's best for cooking lighter bites than big, elaborate meals

    There is no washing machine in this home, so if you're planning an extended stay then you'll need to go to the local laundrette

    A cot can be provided if you're bringing along a little one

    There are no toiletries at this home, so remember to take along your own

    Pets are welcome at this home – speak to your host for more information

About Intendente

The Mayor of Lisbon moved his office into Intendente in 2012, giving it the infusion of funds needed to rebuild and elevate this often forgotten part of town. Only a decade ago, Intendente was in bad shape, but the revitalising initiatives have created an unexpected consequence – an incredible culinary scene, where everything goes. There are still some rough edges, but most of the previously abandoned buildings now home indie record stores, craft fairs, and art galleries. We suggest you start your trip in Largo Café, the artsy meeting point for locals and visitors.
