Saint George

Saint George: Lisbon

Your calf muscles might not appreciate it at times, but one of the biggest benefits that comes with Lisbon's hilly terrain is the potential for glorious views. This apartment is a prime example. Located in the citadel of São Jorge Castle, guests get a sparkling view of the River Tagus from their windows, which, as we're sure you can imagine, looks sublime come sunset time. The home itself is in a traditional building that has been recently renovated, although a few of the period features remain — the stonework around the windows and the sun-bleached shutters, for example. Your location close to the Alfama and Baixa neighbourhoods puts you in a great position when you want to explore the Portuguese capital. The cathedral is only ten minutes' walk away, while The National Museum of Contemporary Art takes about double that time.

Home truths:
*The host owns multiple apartments within the same building, so the layout and furnishings might look slightly different from the pictures
*A cot and high chair can be provided if required
*There's a safe inside the home that can be used by guests
