About this property

Portuguese Soul Bica | Iconic Tram View & Patio | Sleeps 4

A beautifully renovated two-bedroom apartment with a cosy private patio, set in a charming historic building.

Located on Rua da Bica de Duarte Belo, one of Lisbon’s most iconic and photographed streets, the apartment overlooks the famous yellow funicular, which has travelled up and down the hill since 1892. From the bedroom windows, you can watch it pass through this lively historic neighbourhood.

Just a short walk from elegant Chiado, bohemian Bairro Alto, Cais do Sodré and the riverfront, Bica feels like a living postcard of Lisbon. The surrounding streets are filled with restaurants, speciality coffee shops, popular brunch spots, traditional cafés and wine bars.

The apartment accommodates up to four guests in cafés and wine two bedrooms, each with a double bed. It also features a full bathroom with a shower, a separate WC, a fully equipped kitchen, a comfortable living and dining area, and a private patio, ideal for breakfast, evening drinks or a peaceful moment outdoors.

Rich in Baroque-inspired Portuguese character, the interiors feature ornate ceilings, golden details, vintage furniture and crystal chandeliers, creating a theatrical yet welcoming atmosphere.

Bed linen and towels are provided, along with shampoo, shower gel, hand soap and body lotion. Amenities include Wi-Fi, cable TV, air conditioning, a dishwasher, washing machine, Nespresso coffee machine, toaster and hairdryer.

Self check-in is available, with access codes sent before arrival. Early check-in and late check-out may be available, subject to availability, at no extra cost.

Located on a pedestrian-only street, the apartment is ideally placed for exploring central Lisbon on foot. Taxis and ride-hailing vehicles cannot stop at the door, but the nearest drop-off point is only a short walk away.

A car is generally not necessary.

As the funicular and visitors pass through the street during the day, the neighbourhood has a lively urban atmosphere. Please note that the funicular operates independently and may occasionally be temporarily suspended for maintenance or operational reasons.

The private patio is reserved exclusively for guests.

Hi, I’m Ana!
I have a deep love for Lisbon and a passion for painting. Together with my sister, Sónia, we transform accommodations into spaces rich in history and tradition, that tell visitors stories of our country. We love working with recycled antique furniture and Portuguese handicrafts, and we're especially passionate about incorporating artwork and thoughtful details.
The result? Spaces that inspire the mind and nourish the soul.

Why they chose this property

Rua da Bica de Duarte Belo (our street!) is one of Lisbon’s most iconic and photographed streets.

Bica is a historic neighbourhood known for its famous yellow funicular, which has travelled up and down the steep hill since 1892. From the apartment windows, guests can watch it pass directly along the street.

Surrounded by Chiado, Bairro Alto and Cais do Sodré, this small and characterful neighbourhood is one of Lisbon’s most popular areas to explore.

The name “Bica” comes from a 17th-century water fountain that once belonged to a local merchant. At the time, public fountains were important meeting places for the community.

As the neighbourhood was relatively unaffected by the 1755 earthquake, it has preserved much of its original 17th- and 18th-century architecture.

What makes this property unique

Set in Lisbon’s historic and vibrant Bica neighbourhood, the apartment offers a rare view of the city’s iconic yellow funicular passing directly outside the windows. Its central location places Chiado, Bairro Alto, Cais do Sodré and many of Lisbon’s best-known attractions within easy walking distance.

Inside, ornate ceilings, golden Baroque-inspired details, vintage furniture and crystal chandeliers create a distinctive atmosphere, while modern amenities ensure a comfortable stay. A cosy private patio provides a peaceful outdoor space in the heart of the city.

Restoring historic homes is our passion. Inspired by Portugal’s history, traditions, art, music and cultural heritage, we personally select the furniture, paintings and decorative details that give each space its own identity.

This combination of history, creativity and personal care is the essence of what we call the “Portuguese Soul.”
