Due to the steep stairs, the apartment is not suitable for children
Set in Principe Real, surrounded by the vibe of Lisbon, this is a great place to get away from it all – yet close enough to walk to restaurants and bars.
Inside, (on a 3rd floor, with no elevator), there's a stylish neutral colour scheme using plenty of natural materials like wood and cork, taking to another level this fantastic Portuguese material. Cool and contemporary, the open layout to the living space keeps everything sociable, with comfy furniture and soft fabrics giving it a homey feel. If you wish to cook indoors you will find a fully kitted-out kitchen, who knows maybe adventure on a portuguese recipe?
In this duplex, up the stairs you will come to the lounging area of the apartment. Inside and outside. Particularly appreciated is the terrace looking out over the rooftops of Lisbon and the not so distant iconic Bridge 25 Abril. Perfect to drink up the atmosphere, enjoying the warm evenings.
You have not been forgotten if you are doing some work doing your stay .... an office space has been thought for you to get your work done. Private and comfortable.
Immerse yourself in the culture as Lisbon´s lively historical centre calls to be explored.
