Roots

Hilly Graça serves as the backdrop to this bright apartment just a ten-minute walk from Miradouro da Senhora do Monte, Lisbon’s highest viewing point. Inside, white walls, wood floors and contemporary furnishings create a warm and friendly welcome in the living room, with a glass door leading out onto a wrought-iron Juliet balcony. This is the perfect spot to begin your day with coffee while gazing out over the city’s red rooftops. And, with an equally beautiful Juliet balcony in the bedroom, you’re never far from a stunning view. With myriad characterful details that create the perfect Lisbon setting – from the azulejo-clad dining table to the wood-panelled kitchen – this apartment is certain to make you feel right at home. Factor in the shared garden and you’ve got everything you need for a relaxing stay. When you’re not kicking back in your stylish pad, go out and explore the city’s sights. You’re just a twenty-minute walk from the historic Alfama district and the São Jorge Castle, a ten-minute walk from the Feira da ladra market and a thirty-minute stroll from Praça do Comércio.


Home truths:
*At maximum capacity, one guest will be sleeping on the futon in the living room
*There's no lift, so you'll need to take the stairs to the second floor – this home may not be best suited to those with limited mobility
*The garden is shared with the other residents
*A cot, as well as children's books and toys, are available – just ask your host when booking
*We measured 60dB in the living room, so it's not particularly quiet
*Unfortunately, there's no washing machine here
*Free on-street parking is available, although we recommend skipping the car and making use of Lisbon's public transport instead – Lisboa Santa Apolónia station is an eleven-minute walk away
