Campo de Ourique 2-bedr Apartment

Description from the manager

Cosmopolitan without losing a neighbourhood spirit ... here you breathe Lisbon!

With a 100 sq. metre area, this large apartment is in one the city's most typical areas and well suited for your stay. Fully equipped, with two bedrooms, both with double beds, the décor opted for autumn shades - white, beige and brown with golden touches - making the apartment very comfortable for you to feel at home after walking around the city. With much light, since it is in a high area of the town, the view is breathtaking with the Tagus and the bridge playing the central role.

The apartment combines the charm of the neighbourhood with modernit...y, with little niches on the walls or the window woods reminding us of its history.

Enjoy the neighbourhood. This is an area to be in, with a simple and straight square design of streets, to stroll and to discover every corner of Campo de Ourique - from the typical restaurants to the gourmet shops, which are increasingly sprouting here.

Near this neighbourhood we have one of the city's most emblematic gardens - Jardim da Estrela - and the Basilica. The garden has space for all ages, and it is normal on weekends for a Lisboner to enjoy the green areas and music with family or friends. It is a good experience.

But there is more ... speaking of open air spaces, do not leave out Jardim das Amoreiras and the Arpad Szenes-Vieira da Silva Museum, in a former 18th century factory "Real Fábrica de Tecidos de Seda" - Royal Silk Factory . Enjoy the quiet of the garden with an outdoor café and playground, well shaded for hotter days.

One of the pluses of Campo de Ourique is that it is removed from the bustle of the city, as if protected by the huge trees of the neighbourhood, but always two steps away from everything. For example, after visiting Jardim da Estrela, why not walk down to the Design Centre in Santos? It is a descending walk and worth it.Read more

Additional Location Information

Campo de Ourique, in the heart of Lisbon, is a neighbourhood with a life of its own. A residential area of the mid-upper class and with a great tradition in commerce, it is considered one of the city's neighbourhoods with the best quality of life. Here it is not difficult to see people greeting, families strolling and shopping. Politicians, artists and journalists choose Campo de Ourique to live and mingle.

Situated between Amoreiras, Estrela and Prazeres, until the 18th.. century Campo de Ourique was not part of Lisbon's centre. In the beginning it was ony a windy slope where the factory workers from Alcântara lived.

The streets of Campo de Ourique are full of shops, cafés, pastry shops, medical surgeries and offices. Two trams, number 25 (Alfândega/Campo de Ourique) and the legendary 28 (Martim Moniz/Campo de Ourique), make the going easy and give a certain charm. To understand the atmosphere of the neighbourhood, walk through the older cafés: A Tentadora (Rua Ferreira Borges, 1), Ruacaná (Rua Almeida Sousa, 31 A/B) and Canas (Rua Saraiva de Carvalho 145 A/B. Irreplaceable are the visits to the Santo Condestável church, authored by Vasco Regaleira and Campo de Ourique produce market, where you will not resist the Mercado Chocolate chocolateer (Rua Coelho da Rocha). For wine lovers, there is paradise at A Garrafeira de Campo de Ourique (Rua Tomás de Anunciação, 29 A). And since the gourmet shops are in expansion in this area, let yourself be seduced by Oil&Vinegar; (Rua 4 de Infantaria, 29) and Portugal Rural (Rua Saraiva de Carvalho 115 R/C).

The Amoreiras area is a natural extension of Campo de Ourique, the neighbourhood's symbol is the Amoreiras Shopping Center, opened in 1985. From the beginning, the shopping center became well known for its daring architecture, by Tomás Taveira. It won the Valmor and the Municipal Architecture prizes in 1993. Here the best brands have their shops. A few steps away, visit the Amoreiras Garden or the Marcelino Mesquita Garden, imagined by Marquês de Pombal and the Mãe d'Água das Amoreiras water reservoir (Praça das Amoreiras, 10).
