CASA TRAVESSA
What are our famous guests saying? (Hint: Please read the testimonials on our VisitingPortugal website.)
Far from the noise and panhandlers in the Bairro Alto/Chiado, step directly from your ancient cobblestone lane into this private, sunlight-filled, 19th-century home with its charming view of the Igreja do Carmo, Lisbon's soaring monument to the 1755 earthquake.
A quick three-minute walk to the Rossio, Casa Travessa provides easy access to shops, restaurants, and transportation... while hidden away on a quiet residential street. Compact and cozy with an airy, open floor plan, Casa Travessa is the ideal base for a couple traveling alone or with a child.
Like our nearby flagship property, Casa Joaquina (VRBO #30177) which was showcased on the Fine Living Channel's "Around the World in 80 Homes," Casa Travessa also features hand-stitched Arraiolos rugs, custom-made Portuguese furnishings, and local artwork and pottery.
With its private entrance, Casa Travessa feels more like a house than an apartment as you step directly into its well-stocked little kitchen. The bedroom has a double-size bed and the living room provides a sofa/trundle bed which easily converts to two comfortable twin beds. The bedroom bookshelves are stocked with books and games for young and old alike, perfect for relaxing at the end of a busy day.
To view the floor plan, please visit our website.
