Location: Lisbon, Portugal, Europe (Chiado) View Map

Accommodations:  Apartment (90 sqm / 900 sqft), 1 Bedroom + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath (Sleeps 4)

This city centre modern apartment is set in a recently rebuilt building in old historic Lisbon. This bright, daylight-filled, third floor apartment is located in Luis de Camões Square. This is one of the most important squares dedicated to the Portuguese Prince of the poetry, with the statue in the centre which was erected in 1867 and has a privilege situation in the heart of the cultural and historical part of the city (Bairro Alto and Chiado).

Very close to several museums, operas, theaters, and churches. Located in front of the luxurious, five-star Bairro Alto Hotel. A 5 minute walk takes you to the Rossio, in the Baixa, and to the Elevador da Lavra. On the other direction you will reach the Praça do Comércio, where has located the centre of the Portuguese old empire near the river Tejo (Tagus). To go to Sintra or to Óbidos you must catch the train at Entre-Campos train station, which is just a short subway trip from Chiado.

Close to shops, restaurants, cafes, banks, cash machine, public transportation (subway and electric trams) and 24 hour taxi stands, etc.

Accommodation comprises one bedroom with a double bed, living room with dining and sitting areas, full bathroom, and fully-equipped kitchen. The apartment has air-conditioning and central heating in all the rooms. This privileged location offers easy access by foot to the subway (Baixa/Chiado station 50 meters).

Chiado is considered the most beautiful area of historical Lisbon. It was a place of residence of the Portuguese royalty and of the political and cultural elites. Nearby are located the theatre S. Luis and the opera D. Carlos.

A little further up on the left is Camões Square (Praça de Camões), next to Bairro Alto, picturesque but raffish; part of Lisbon's nightlife seems to be concentrated in this quarter, which was frequented to hear the sentimental 'fados' sung in certain restaurants and cafés. Chiado and Bairro Alto are "the" meeting point for locals and tourists, with elegant hotels, old cafés, and the best international fashion shops nearby.

Lisbon Sightseeing - It operates both open-top bus tours and tourist trams. Both run from the Praça do Comércio. Bus trips are the 'Circuito Tejo', which goes out to Belém as well as other parts of the city, or the (Expresso Oriente' which visits the Parque das Nações. The tram does the 'Circuito das Colinas' (Hill Circuit) which embraces the 28 route through Alfama.

It also visits Estrela to the west of the city. Whilst costly, the advantage of the tourist tram is the audio guided tour and the fact that you will get a seat and not have to stand. Also, the historic trams are decked out in 'historic' upholstery and fittings. Trams also operate a Circuito dos Descobrimentos to Belém.

We will welcome you with a nice bottle of wine, coffee and tea ready for you and some biscuits.

  • We stayed in this apartment for 5 days and nights and loved every minute of it. Lison was great and the apartment made everything so easily accessible to us--and gave us a wonderful place to come home to. The apartment was clean and comfortable and exceeded all our needs. You can't go wrong in this apartment.

  • Wonderful apartment and fabulous time in Lisbon. The apartment is lovely, very clean, well kept, professionally managed, and in a prime location. Perfect. The only complaint is they were a bit too good. We left for a day and half and the cleaning staff tossed our food out of the refrigerator. Who can blame them. That is their job! It was all great. We had a fabulous time. The managing agent and the owner of the apartment are responsive, professional, and full of hospitality. Enjoy!

  • Enjoyed our week in the apartment. Great location for all aspects of the stay- walking, city, resturants and sightseeing. Close to supermarket etc and public transport such as trams and metro. Wonderful views onto the plaza and all the action that takes place there (more so in summer than winter I imagine). We would recommend the apartment for a central stay.

  • Apartment was fabulous, extremely spacious, decorated to a high standard and well equiped. We have a small child and there was/is an inner hallway between the lounge and bedroom - this was handly as he could sleep in his cot in this area and we didn't have to have him in the room with us. The 28 Tram (well worth a trip) is right outside the door and the elevator lift is only a block or so away. Great location, would highly recommend!

  • The apartment was large and bright and very comfortable. It was convenient to all forms of transportation and particularly, to excellent restaurants and cafes right around the corner. If you are into nightlife, then visit this area friday or saturday night for the Lisbon scene. This area is a big hangout for young Lisboans as well as tourists. Lisbon is a wonderful city with an excellent transportation system and we used buses, trolleys, the metro, as well as taxis and the the commuter train. We also had sufficient time to visit Cascais, Belem, and Sintra. The people were very friendly and some went out of there way to assist us when we asked for directions or which line to use on ther metro. I could not imagine having a better time in any other city in Europe. The only negative is that the location is noisy being on the Praca, particularly on the weekend. Luckily, we took earplugs which worked beautifully.

  • Hello Paulo, I'm writing you for thanking you and letting you know how much we enjoyed our stay in your apartment. Lisboa is a magnificent and charming city and your apartment is absolutely perfect. We all felt home as soon as we came in and we were really sorry at our departure. The apartment is comfortable, well furnished, very conveniently situated, full of air and light. I probably will send you other guests because some friend of ours are coming to Lisboa next July and are asking your address. My boys enjoyed so much being in the very heart of the city ! The young man who welcame us at the apartment by the Agency was absolutely nice and was a good introduction to Lisboa. As I wrote in your guest book at the apartment ( I wanted to write in Italian because we undestood we were the only Italian guests you had had !)we hope to welcome you in the same warm way you did, so we hope to meet you in Lucca . We will absolutely come back soon. Once again thank you Lella and family

  • We stayed for ~10 days in Paulo's apartment. The apartment is at the north-west corner of the Praça Luis de Camões piazza. As mentioned by others, it is in a very good location close to the tram line (right outside) and the metro subway (1 block away). The post office is also in the square on the west side. While the south side of the square is the Barrio Alta Hotel (member of the great little hotels in the world). The apartment itself is very spacious and kept very clean. The kitchen is better equipped than many vacation apartments we have rented. The nice touch is the many maps, guide books, brochures left by previous occupants. We definitely would stay there again and would prefer that area to the Rossio area which is considered more central and more touristy, because of the small restaurents, grocery stores etc. in the Chiado area.
