Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Located in the bustling neighbourhood of Baixa and surrounded by a glorious array of Pombaline architecture, this home offers a gateway to Lisbon's historic heart. You really couldn't ask for a better location, with the spectacular waterfront Commerce Square and the majestic Rua Augusta Arch just a six-minute stroll from your doorstep. Inside, it's all high ceilings, hardwood floors and floor-to-ceiling windows, setting a serene canvas for relaxation. We especially love the open-plan living space, flaunting an elegant lounge – dressed to the nines with plush seating and a regal chandelier – and access to not one but two Juliet balconies. Spend mornings roosted here, sipping espresso and watching the street below awaken from its slumber. Before a busy day of exploring, gather at the round table for breakfast, prepared in the fully-equipped kitchen. Though if you'd prefer to sample the local cuisine, pop into Nicolau Lisboa for brunch, a one-minute stroll from your doorstep.
