A Castle on the Hill

This apartment, once the living quarters for those restoring the São Jorges’ Castle, has been thoughtfully restored to create a contemporary oasis for you and your loved ones. Located in the historic Mouraria neighbourhood, this apartment offers an idyllic base for those looking to soak up the architectural delights and historical highlights of the city.

With a minimalist theme and a host of modern and design-focused furnishings, this apartment offers a stylish sanctuary to return home to after a day perusing the sloping cobblestone alleyways and Martim Moniz square. Culturally satiated, return home for a glass of Douro Branco around the table, overlooking the sprawling city. There’s a second round table should you wish to dine in, though, with many eclectic restaurants within walking distance, we suggest you sample the city’s vibrant cuisine. For casual eateries, Lisbon's Time Out Market hosts local vendors serving up street food delicacies or seek out modernist seafood dishes down at the industrial riverside warehouse.

Home truths:
*To access the apartment you can take the Elevador do Castelo lift, the Elevador do Chão do Loureiro lift or an escalator in Martim Moniz – you will then need to climb some stairs to the front door
*The second bedroom is located in the attic space – this is accessed via a steep staircase and has low ceilings and therefore, may not be suitable for young children or those with reduced mobility
*We think the third bedroom is best suited for children
*Your host provides a baby cot and high chair for free upon request
*The bathroom sink drains slowly
*We think the kitchen is better suited to lighter bites than large meals
*You're in a central spot here, so noise is to be expected
