Nestled against the walls of Castelo São Jorge (castle) in the centre of Lisbon, this charming apartment enjoys an exceptional location in the old part of town and stunning views over the Baixa (centre), river and Ponte 25 de Abril (bridge). The castle, Sé (cathedral) and legendary 28 tram are just 3 minutes walk away and the Baixa with its shops, Metro, monuments and museums can be reached by foot within 5-7 minutes, making the apartment the perfect base for sightseeing, eating out or simply relaxing on the roof terrace under the castle walls. Despite its central location it is well away from the noise and bustle of downtown Lisbon on account of its position on top of the hill which also ensures cool evening breezes and breathtaking sunsets.
The apartment is on the 3rd floor (no lift/elevator)of a 18th century palace built by Conde (Count) de Penafiel, the royal postmaster, and the building still displays his coat of arms carved in stone. Laid out on two floors, it consists of a living room, study, hall/dining area, ample bathroom and kitchen with original 18th century hand-painted tiles and stone fireplace surround, roof terrace and two double bedrooms. It should be noted that the bedrooms are under the eaves of the building and therefore standing height is limited (although the 6 foot owner has lived there happily for many years)and the stairs leading to the bedrooms have limited handrail protection making the flat unsuitable for disabled people or young children.
The owners, who still use the apartment as their home, provide local information about to getting around, where to eat and what to see.
