Located on the Rua Carmo, Grandella Boots is a great home for first-time visitors – especially if you're keen to explore Lisbon on foot. Situated above one of the city’s most vibrant avenues, the huge windows are perfectly primed for people-watching. Street vendors to and fro along the thoroughfare, locals weave through the throngs, and performers draw in gaggles of curious onlookers. Inside, the furnishings are modest but comfortable and do well not to distract you from the fantastic views – you can see the ruins of the Carmo convent on one side of the apartment, and the Santa Justa Elevator on the other. After a pastry and coffee for breakfast, slip into the hubbub and make your way over to Praça do Comércio, a ten-minute walk downhill, or lace up your walking shoes and take the twelve-minute hike uphill to Bairro Alto for retro boutiques and the São Pedro de Alcântara viewpoint. Should you fancy escaping the crowds, you’re a ten-minute walk to Cais do Sodré terminal where you can catch a ferry to the other side of the Tagus – waterfront restaurants and fine sunsets await.

Home truths

    A concierge is on hand to help with any questions or queries from 9am to 3pm

    A cot and high chair can be provided upon request – just ask your host when booking

    Due to the central location, you’ll hear some street noise from inside the home

    There’s not much storage space in the bedrooms so it’s best to pack light

    While there’s sleeping space for nine guests (with two on a sofa bed), it’s a bit of a squeeze for that many people

Local guide


About Chiado

Chiado is full of old-world charm, and is one of the best-loved parts of Lisbon. Think pastel-hued homes, cobbled streets and plenty of squares to soak up the atmosphere. There’s a slower pace of life in Chiado, which is why it’s so popular with locals. Hop on a tram to take in the open-air ruin of the Camo church, a Gothic masterpiece that was mostly destroyed in an earthquake, or hit the shops – this is one of Lisbon’s best shopping districts, after all.
