This apartment has a little of everything. Predominantly modern in design, it has the strong lines and opulence of a luxury penthouse suite. However, there’s also a nod to its location in the upscale historical center of Lisbon, with little touches of rococo and nods to Old Masters.
Described as a ‘duplex’, the apartment is located on the top floor of a modern building and has three bedrooms, one of which is a suite with striking dark and light tones. The rooms have large windows with views across the rooftops to the River Tagus. Rooms are, as a result, flooded with natural light, and have a lovely spacious feel. There’s also a great terrace – which is perfect for outdoor dining.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES
The apartment has an elevator, parking garage, air conditioning, fireplace and central heating, as well as cable TV and DVD. Bed linen and towels are provided. The kitchen is fully equipped with a microwave, dishwasher, refrigerator, washing machine, iron, oven and stove.
AROUND
The property is located in the heart of Lisbon, Portugal’s capital city, with its beautiful Roman and Moorish ruins, domed cathedrals, cobblestone lanes and grand plazas. More specifically, it’s in the city’s famous historical district, Alfama, a village within the larger city – full of narrow medieval alleys, tiny squares, churches, Fado bars, restaurants and whitewashed homes with small shops underneath.
Must-see sights include Saint George’s Castle, the Tile Museum and Sao Vicente de Fora Church, as well as the miradouros (or hilltop viewpoints) of Portas do Sol and Graça. Popular with hip locals are the alternative shops and eateries of Doca do Jardim do Tabaco.
