Unique Apt for big a group or family Lisbon centre

Description from the manager

If we were to describe this apartment all one word, it would be, no doubt, 'classic' and if we were to add one more word it would be 'space', lots of space!

All rooms are large and have their own soul, as if each division had a life of its own.

The living room and dining room are simple, classic décor and calm environment. The corridor, British-inspired, leading to all rooms in the house: the bedrooms, ranging from the simplicity and exuberance, the unique and spacious bathrooms, and rustic nature cuisine.

Situated in the city centre, it is easy to reach all points that require a visit on a trip to Lisbon: Baixa, Chiado, A...lfama, Castelo de São Jorge, Mouraria, Belém, among others.Read more

Additional Location Information

Saldanha - Avenidas Novas - New Avenues is one of Lisbon's select areas. It is not quite in the center, but is very central.
It is not a historic area, but is full of ancient buildings. It is an area of offices and shops.
Eduardo VII Park, in the continuation of Avenida da Liberdade, is, in spite of its location, more associated to Av. Novas and is one of Lisbon's great gardens. The large sloped lawn, stretching over more than 60 acres, was opened at the beginning of the 20th. century and was meant to continue Avenida da Liberdade. On the Northwestern corner of the park, in the place of an old basalt quarry, we find the Estufa Fria conservatory, with a great variety of exotic plants, brooks, waterfalls, palms and trails, fuchsias, flowering bushes and banana trees and the Estufa Quente hothouse with luxuriant plants, lakes and cacti as well as tropical birds.
Near the conservatories there is a lake with huge carps and a children's playground shaped like a galleon. 
At the Northern top we find the Monument dedicated to the April 25 Revolution inaugurated in 1997, sculpted by João Cutileiro and a subject of controversy due to its shape. Next to it we have the Amália Rodrigues Garden in honour of the diva of Portuguese fado.
The Lisbon Book Fair is held every year in the central area of the Park.
At the top of the Garden we have El Corte Inglés, the Spanish landmark for all types of shopping and 14 cinemas.
Going to the Praça de Espanha - Spain Square, you may see the beautiful Palhavã Palace, actually the Spanish Embassy, and in front one of Lisbon’s Cultural Centers: Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation. It has been created by the heritage of this Armenian philanthropist legacy, who let this foundation to Lisbon. Beyond the magnificent gardens, you may visit the Museum of Modern Art, of Ancient Art, or assist to one of many dance, music or other arts performances.
Upon reaching Saldanha, you immediately realize that you are in an European capital. Many storeyed buildings, heavy traffic, students and workers in a hurry. Shops and brands from all over the world, highly sophisticated restaurants, shopping malls. The most prominent are, undoubtedly, Atrium Saldanha, Saldanha Residence, Dolce Vita (the old Monumental cinema house) and the small and oldest of them all, Imaviz. All these shopping malls were built having in mind the people, without the excess of the huge commercial areas in the outskirts. That is how Saldanha is: small details of luxury and modernity.

Duque de Saldanha square - a tribute to the Portuguese soldier, politician and statesman - is the center of this area of the town, managing to perfectly blend Lisbon at the beginning of the 20th. century and Lisbon in the 21st. century.
In terms of public transport it could not be served better. There are several buses to all parts of the city and we have the metro (Yellow Line) linking Odivelas to Rato and the (Red Line) linking S. Sebastião to Alameda.

  A terrific place to stay for a group of friends or a large family - or if you just want lot´s of space! The apartment is located close to city buses (the airport bus as well) and the Metro. A shopping mall (with a large grocery store) is also located near the apartment. The apartment had a fully equipped kitchen and a good wifi connection which was much appreciated! Our host anna was very friendly. Thanks for a great week! Everyone agreed on going back to Lisbon sometime in the future.
