Nestled in one of the oldest and most charming districts of Lisbon, this Alfama apartment is perfectly placed for soaking up all of the history and culture on offer in the Portuguese capital. The small wrap-around patio is the star of the show here, offering ample seating and privacy for a romantic mini-break. Begin a sunny morning with a cup of coffee on the outdoor sofa, then head out to explore the city. Just outside, a maze of narrow cobbled streets awaits, which house some of Lisbon's most iconic buildings. Spend your days wandering around ancient cathedrals, shopping in stylish boutiques and tucking into authentic egg custard tarts (a must when you're in the area). At the end of a busy afternoon, head home to relax. If you're a bit of a whiz in the kitchen, you'll have everything you need here to whip up your favourite tapas, which are best enjoyed alfresco on the outdoor dining table. Share a bottle of wine and enjoy the greenery around you as the stars appear in the sky above.

Local guide
About Santa Clara
Located in the northern part of Lisbon, Santa Clara is a civil parish known as a frequesia. This is definitely a tranquil and residential neighbourhood, though thanks to the great transport links, you’re still in close proximity to central Lisbon. Start your day with a fresh coffee and pastel de nata from a local bakery, then enjoy a walk around Parque Oeste. From here, you can hop on the metro...
