About this property

Welcome!
This exclusive two bedroom apartment is centrally located in the historic district of "Madragoa". It is located on a car-free street, on the first floor of a traditional Portuguese building, and has been beautifully restored. The apartment (68 square meters) has a large living room, an open kitchen and two separate bedrooms.
Most highlights of Lisbon are within walking distance! You have convenient access to public transportation and easy access to the airport by taxi in less than 20 minutes.

The tasteful apartment is located on the first floor of a beautiful building in the historic district of Madragoa, built in 1870 and was completely refurbished in 2018. Its unique building structure, with exceptional high ceilings and unique windows, blends in with modern and airy interior design.
The 68 square meter apartment offers two beautiful bedrooms, facing a quiet courtyard. Each has a double bed and high quality mattress. The sunny living room with its wonderful front windows is the ideal place to enjoy a glass of green wine after exploring the vibrant life of the city or the nearby beaches. The new bathroom and kitchen are fully equipped and offer all modern comfort.

The historic district "Madragoa", with its traditional buildings and small streets, kept crowds and traffic away. It has the authentic vibe of Lisbons life and the highlights of the city are within walking distance.
Madragoa is part of the neighborhood "Santos", one of the favorite neighborhoods of old Lisbon. It offers a unique blend of traditional Portuguese life and a young urban vibe, which attracts students, artists and designers to live here.

Parents and 20-something son

Margarida was positive, responsible and helpful every step of the way. The apartment is beautiful-high ceilings, loads of light, fantastic beds and lovely furnishings. Kitchen fully stocked but truthfully, with all the amazing restaurants within walking distance, we did not eat in once. We walked a lot, all over the city, exploring, and the prime location allowed for walking rather than having to take Ubers and taxis. We only wish we had more time…

Quiet retreat

Me and my family stayed, played and worked in this apartment for 14 days. We loved it!! It’s close to everything but away from the hustle and bustle, in a quiet neighborhood surrounded by locals. A large grocery store is just a short walk away as well as many delicious cafes. The unit was well equipped with everything we needed for day to day living. The host was amazing and quick to respond and offer suggestions. If you take an Uber, get dropped off and picked up at Flora & Fauna. It’s the easiest and most of the roads around the apartment are pedestrian routes. We were sad to leave our temporary home away from away. We might have to make it an annual trip. 😉

Surrounded by the magic of Lisboa and Madragoa

The Art historian's residence was everything we had hoped it would be. The elegant simplicity of the residence set the stage for a memorable week in Lisboa. We had just finished walking the Portuguese Camino and were looking forward to nestling into a Lisboa neighborhood that would take us out of the tourist hubbub of this big city. The Madragoa neighborhood and the residence could not have been any more perfect. We were an easy walk to the tram and buses that took us anywhere we wanted to go and whenever we chose to walk we always enjoyed where I feet took us. Margarida was a gracious host, whose recommendations for walks, restaurants, grocery shopping and COVID testing, etc. was always timely and spot on. She even arranged for our transport to and from the airport with an exceptional driver, making our arrival and departure absolutely seamless. My only regret is that we didn't stay longer. By the end of the week, we had learned so much about the neighborhood and surrounding areas that we wanted more time to apply all that we had figured out. This was a perfect introduction to Lisboa and left us wanting to linger a bit longer.
