Found in the bustling Lapa district, this apartment pulls off bohemian chic with textured walls, natural fibres and a pleasant colour palette. Explore the food scene by visiting local restaurants or take advantage of the nearby tram stop, Alcantara-Terra, to take you across Lisbon to see some of the most iconic historical landmarks. This close to the water, take a walk along the Tagus, stopping off at Belém Tower for panoramic views. With enough room for four and a cosy terrace from where to worship the sun, this is ideal for two couples or a small family exploring this side of Portugal.

Home truths

    Your host operates several apartments here, so the exact view, layout and furnishings might differ slightly from the photos. However, the overall quality should remain the same.

    The bedroom curtains don't fully block out the sunlight. If you're hoping to enjoy a lie-in, you might want to pack an eye mask.

    Hen and stag parties are not allowed.

    Toiletries aren't provided, so you'll need to bring your own. If you want to stock up on arrival, the nearest supermarket is minutes away.

    Parking in Lisbon can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to the easily accessible public transport.

    This host requires your check-in to be within 3-5 days from when the last booking ends. If you are unsure if your dates will work or for help finding alternatives, please contact our Matchmaking Team.

    Please note that the building amenities such as the pool and gym may have specific hours of operation and might not be available year-round.

Local guide


About Estrela

The urban settlement in Estrela was founded in the 18th Century when Lisbon expanded and nobility started building in the area. With the majestic architectural standard established, Estrela has maintained a high number of well-preserved palaces and mansions. This neighbourhood is a great place to stay if you want to escape the mass tourism of Central Lisbon. It's more of a rest and recharge zone, far away from the city...
