About the home

This luxurious two storey cottage (approx 85 sq m / 915 sq ft) is located within a 5 minute walk of the bars and restaurants in the Bairro Alto and less than a 10 minute walk to the shops, cafés and Metro station in Chiado.

It's an ideal base for exploring the city with a stop for Lisbon's historic trams close by and, if you want to go to the beach, Cais do Sodré railway station is 15 minutes walk away including a ride down the famous 'Elevador da Bica'.

Despite the central location, the cottage is at the end of a terrace on a quiet street and backs on to the Geological Museum so you can enjoy the best of Lisbon but relax and sleep well when you want to.

Facilities

Further details indoors:
From the entrance a few stairs lead up to the sitting and dining areas and a separate, new kitchen. Down a few stairs there are two bedrooms and bathroom. All rooms have heating and the living area has an air-conditioning unit which is powerful enough to cool the whole house.

You can connect your iPod or other MP3 player to the stereo system with the cable provided and there are DVDs and books for you to enjoy in the property. A wireless broadband internet connection is also available (please contact the owner for details).

We provide basic supplies of coffee and filters, tea, milk, sugar as well as olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper. Toilet paper, clothes washing liquid and dishwasher powder are also provided.

You’ll find our own guide to local restaurants, bars and shopping inside the property.

The house is cleaned before your arrival and then every 7 days. If you’d like further housekeeping, please contact the owner.

Further details outdoors:
There is a local shop 30 metres from the door and in the same road you have the Geological Museum and a couple of small art galleries opposite the School of Dance.

If you'd like a drink nearby, Cinco Lounge, described by Time Out as Lisbon's first New York/London style cocktail bar, is 2 minutes away on foot.

Further details

Check-in is after 14.00h and check-out before 10.00h. However, we can be flexible about arrival / departure times if you contact us with your travel schedule well in advance.

A €100 breakage deposit must be paid in cash upon arrival and is refunded upon departure subject to inspection of the property.

We also have a travel cot and high chair (cost €35 per week).

The Lisbon / Central Lisbon area

Lisbon offers a great mix of historic neighbourhoods with narrow cobbled streets, elegant avenues and cutting edge modern architecture, traditional and modern restaurants, vibrant nightlife, museums and art galleries. There really is something for everyone and all this in a sub-tropical climate.

We recommend the following, all of which are easily accessible from the house on foot:

Chiado - Shopping, cafés and restaurants
The Baixa - elegant squares, shopping, restaurants and cafés
Avenida da Liberdade - Lisbon's main Avenue. Shopping and cafés
The Parliament and Rua São Bento - Antique shops and restaurants and the house of Amália Rodrigues, the best loved Fado singer, which is now a museum.
Praça das Flores - a typical Lisbon garden square with café and restaurants
Principe Real - Another garden square, more restaurants and the Botanical Gardens
Basilica da Estrela - Lisbon's most impressive church and nearby gardens

Using trams, buses, the Metro or cheap taxis you also have:

Belém - a UNESCO World Heritage site with the Jerónimos monastery, Belém Tower and Monument to the Discoveries
Docas- A marina with bars and restaurants. Great for lunch or a big night out.
Alfama - Lisbon's oldest neighbourhood with Castelo São Jorge, a Moorish castle with fantastic views of the city . Get there by tram.
Parque das Nações (the former Expo '98 site) with ultra modern architecture, shopping, riverside walks, restaurants and bars and a new Casino.

“Good location and clean and comfortable accommodation” I stayed with two friends at Lisbon Cottage and we felt the accommodation was very well presented, extremely clean and tidy and comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped and there was plenty of hot water and the beds were comfortable with good pillows and lots of blankets etc to suit any individual. The property is well placed for visiting the city as a whole and is in a quiet location. It is near to the old quarter of the Biarro Alto and within easy walking distance of the city centre shops and public transport. We were met by the owner late in the evening due to our flight times and he was very helpful and informative. We enjoyed our stay very much.
