Tranquil Shades

Tranquil Shades: Lisbon

The thing that really sets this home apart from many others is its spacious terrace that spans the whole apartment. There's a dining area for alfresco meals and a comfy outdoor sofa and chairs for evening drinks. We love that both bedrooms open out onto the patio too. There are views over the area and to the river from the living room's large windows as well. And what a neighbourhood this is. If you've heard of Alfama, you'll know it has plenty of authentic Fado restaurants. And attractions, including São Jorge Castle, Lisbon Cathedral, and the Miradouro das Portas do Sol are under a ten-minute walk away. Oh, and another highlight, the iconic Tram 28 stops right outside the door.

Home truths:
*The entrance to this home is shared with the building's other residents. *Guests five and six would be on a sofa bed in the living room – if you're looking for a home with ample space for socialising, we'd recommend this home for four guests only. *If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot, children's tableware and high chair for free. You'll need to request them in advance. *Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay. *Your host kindly asks that you please keep noise to a minimum after 10 pm and before 10 am.
