Santa Apolónia
This beautifully bright apartment between Lisbon's Alfama and Santa Clara neighborhoods has it all – a great location and a blend of modern styling with character features. Summing up this historic part of Lisbon perfectly, it's in a typical Pombalina building – freshly renovated with impeccable attention to detail. If local period architecture is of interest to you, you'll love the high ceilings, tall windows and the traditional narrow balcony with wrought iron railings. And it's not too hard to spot the building's defining feature – the Pombalina wooden cage built in to strengthen the stone buildings after the great earthquake of the 1750s.
Bright and smartly designed, this charming home has been reimagined for the 21st century, with a cool white kitchen, mid-century modern furniture and tasteful wall and books art. Comfortable and welcoming, you'll spend your mornings sipping coffee, with view of the Tagus river and watching the street come to life from your balcony.
Outside of your home, the Pantheon, the historic Alfama district and the São Jorge Castle are a 10m walk. You can easily get lost in the Baixa or strolling the many viewpoints of Santa Luzia or the Lisbon Sé. Only a few steps away, you can catch the train for a day trip to Sintra and Cascais at the Santa Apolónia Train station, or you take the subway to the city centre.
There are also many fresh produce markets, grocery stores and bakeries around the corner as well as countless restaurants, shops and bars in this neighborhood,
Prepare do have everything you need for a fun, culture-filled stay.
