About this property

Beautiful Renovated Apartment Built Early 1800's In The Embassy Area Of Lisbon

Our beautiful apartment is situated in the heart of Lapa/ Santos, it's a very bright apartment and has been totally renovated. It is on the 1st floor of what was once one house. The living room is at the front of the apartment as you can see from the photos, it has an exquisite ceiling and doors open onto a small dining area. It has 2 double bedrooms, one of which was the old chapel of the house a bathroom with a spacious shower and a fully equipped fitted kitchen that includes a washing machine, dishwasher, fridge,freezer oven, hob, microwave, coffee machine. A rear balcony overlooks a private garden belonging to the apartment below. The apartment has electric heating and freestanding fans for the summer months also internet, cable tv and a music centre.
The apartment is in the embassy area of Lisbon and although it is quite near to the centre it is also quiet at night so you can get a good night sleep before exploring the city.
It's is close to the Basilica and Jardim da Estrella (10 minutes walk) but also close to the River.
There are lots of restaurants ( from cheap tascas to more upmarket and everything in-between), the same goes for the bars,there are little shops, supermarkets and a newsagents. Everything you could possibly need is close by. We are also very close to the National Museum of Ancient Art ( Museu Nacional da Arte Antiga) ,among the paintings you can see a wonderful Heironymus Bosch tryptic, the Museum has a beautiful garden overlooking the river where you can have coffee and a superb chocolate and walnut gooey cake). Close by is also the Museum of Marionettes ( Museu da Marioneta) .
We have owned the apartment for 8 years and we absolutely love it, we have been living on the Algarve for over 30 years and whenever we can we like to use it ourselves. There is so much we still need to explore, it's a fascinating city and we feel extremely honored to own this gorgeous apartment in this very special neighborhood..
Because of it's location you can just about walk anywhere but you also have the choice of buses trams and taxis that you can catch from the bottom of the road. We are also very near the train station of Santos where you can take a train along the coast up to Cascais ( It's a beautiful ride).

Very happy with apartment and check in plus location suited us really well - felt very safe! If there was a down side - and really there isn’t - could do with shower upgrade as only a mixer shower. Other than that we really enjoyed our stay

A lovely stay

First visit to Portugal & we were so happy with the accommodation. This flat is absolutely lovely, well furnished, clean and comfy. So much character too, from the beautiful ceilings to the original artwork. It had everything we needed for the week. We would definitely recommend.

Schöner Stadtteil in Lissabon

Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen, die benachbarten Viertel oft zu Fuß erkundet, aber auch die gut erreichbare Straßenbahn und Busse benutzt. Alles in allem waren wir mehr als zufrieden. Vielen Dank an Linda, die uns freundlichst empfangen und eingewiesen hat. Ingrid, Helmut und Michael

Ottima location

A beautiful stay. The accommodation was clean and located in an area that was certainly busy but not noisy. The ceilings are beautiful, richly decorated with quality stuccos. Excellent availability from the owner. A good reference point for visiting Lisbon and the surrounding areas. Definitely recommended!

Great apartment in a great location

We were a group of 4 for the first few days then my husband and I continued to stay another week when friends went on to London. The apartment was the perfect size for us and in a great location for exploring Lisbon and the surrounding areas (close to Santos train station which easily takes you to other towns and lovely beaches). The apartment was clean and exactly as shown on Stayz, and we had everything we needed. Whenever we had questions the host was quick to answer which made the overall stay easy and comfortable. Great beds, a good shower and quiet. Easy walking distance to lots of great cafes, restaurants, shops and bars. We had a great time and would highly recommend staying at this apartment!

Settle into this beautiful apartment and relax. The owner is very good with communication and recommendations of local things to do. Everything you need is here. The pictures are perfect example of how bright the apartment is. Spacious and comfortable. Convenient markets, transportation and restaurants in the area. Quiet location in the busy city. The apartment stays cooler even with warmer temperatures. Owner provided fans for every room. Book your stay today, you will love it!

Disliked: Communication

Very lovely apartment but now needs some minor work. Communications with owner were lacking

We stayed in this apartment for a month in April and had a mostly enjoyable stay. Basically lovely apartment with highlight being large, bright airy LR with floor to ceiling winfdows. Quiet residental neighborhood close enough to main tourist areas. Large well-supplied Pingo Doce Food Market up the hill about 1/4 mile away. Very small market with the basics nearby, down the hill. The apartment needs some work on the paint. Paint in the areas of exterior doors & windows is peeling badly and unsightly .Needs a new paint job in those areas. We had a problem with the keys. We were given 2 sets of keys on arrival. It turned out that one set worked fine while the other was problematic. One night we took the problem keys and when we returned, they did not work. We were locked out. Called the owner but no response. The owner's daughter was managing the apartment, but we weren't given her phone #. Luckily our son was visiting at the time & had the other key. He went to a Rock Concert that night but could not be reached for hours. Eventually reached him & his key worked. Called the owner again the next day about this issue, no response. Eventually, the owner got back to us and advised ( for the first time) there was an emergency key in a lockbox nearby. Also eventually gave us the nearby daughters phone #. These are easily correctable issues. However, if our son wasn't visiting and had the good key, we could have been locked out for the night.

Serenity in Santos.

We loved staying in this beautiful apartment and would recommend it to anyone who has an interest in historic architecture...the ornate ceilings are exceptionally beautiful. The apartment is well equipped and cosy (we stayed in January) with very comfortable beds. Great location with all necessities in the immediate locale and well situated for trams, buses and trains to access the city centre and beyond and there is a wealth of useful information leaflets and guidebooks to inspire visits to the wonders of Lisbon. Clive and Linda are great hosts and the whole booking process and communication was very smooth. We would love to stay here again and have already recommended it to friends.

Beautiful flat in a great location

We really enjoyed our stay. The flat is so beautiful though a little quirky. The architecture is stunning and Clive’s watercolour paintings in each room gave us so much pleasure to look at every day. We slept well in a very quiet bedroom at the back. Kitchen and bathroom were fine too. Lisbon is full of narrow, steep streets like this one. At the bottom of the street is a very well stocked little supermarket, Mercado Santos. We also discovered a fantastic place for breakfast with fabulous croissants - Le Boulangerie, which opens early. They also serve lunch.

Mixed bag: spacious & lovely but noisy neighbors

Communication with host and check-in was easy using WhatsApp. Location is close to transportation (buses, trams, trains). Grocery and several restaurants nearby. Flat is spacious and airy. Unfortunately, we arrived on Saturday night to a loud neighborhood party that went on until 1:30. During the week, the upstairs neighbor was up and noisy by 6:30 and the downstairs neighbor was active until 23:00. We used the smaller middle bedroom the entire week rather than the main bedroom. If you are light sleepers, be aware. The upstairs neighbors were somewhat responsive, but the downstairs neighbor seemed almost resentful of renters. The kitchen is modestly appointed; the dining space is uninviting. The host’s artwork is brilliant but the overall apartment needs to be refreshed.

The perfect apartment in the perfect location!

I stayed for one month in this BEAUTIFUL apartment that reflects Lisbon's historic architecture. I love the floors and all the windows/balconies and the ceilings! It is in a central location in Lapa (a very safe area), walking distance from so many things (even the downtown area if you want to go for a longer walk). All Ubers arrived in 3-4 minutes or less. Great sized kitchen for cooking as well, comfortable and spacious bedrooms and beds. The living room area and smaller dining room area are great for remote work if you have to! Water pressure is top as well. Owners were extremely attentive, responsive, helpful and pleasant to communicate with! There is no elevator but this apartment is on the first floor so not tiring at all. A wonderful breeze comes through the front windows and lots of sunlight too. I would most definitely stay here again! Our stay was made that much more pleasant and relaxing :)

Fantastisch

Wir sind um 1 Uhr in der Nacht angereist. Die Tochter der Gastgeber-Familie hat uns auch zu dieser späten Stunde herzlich empfangen und uns den Schlüssel und Informationen übergeben. Sehr schöne Wohnung, zentral gelegen und trotzdem sehr ruhig (ein Zimmer zum Garten, eines in der "Mitte" der Wohnung aber trotzdem hell durch Tageslicht aus dem Wohnzimmer. Schöne Cafés und Restaurants in unmittelbarer Nähe. Schönes Haus und schöne Wohnung mit Stukkaturdecken. Wir hatten einen super Aufenthalt. Besten Dank an die Gastgeber-Familie!
