Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Located on a quiet street in the authentically Portuguese Arroios neighbourhood, this sweet apartment is up in the eaves of a traditional building. Inside, it’s a contemporary space with white walls and minimal furnishings. Hardwood floors are topped with cotton rugs to add some colour and warmth to the home. In the mornings, enjoy the view from the windows with an espresso and famed custard tart, followed by a stroll around your locale. The Campo dos Mártires da Pátria gardens are sun-soaked and serene, interrupted only by the occasional calls of the ducks and chickens that make their home here. Old school cafes and hole-in-the-wall eateries line the streets while Avenida Almirante Reis, just a ten-minute walk away, is one of Lisbon’s main arteries, connecting you to the iconic Tagus river and downtown district.

Local guide
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.
