Description The Castle Keep: Lisbon

This home's greatest strength is easy to spot – it towers above the neighbouring roofs and offers some of the best views of Alfama and the nearby fortress. But there are more things to love about this cosy castle-dwelling. To start with, it's small without feeling claustrophobic – with an adorable kitchen and a little balcony right next to it, The Castle Keep has a good number of distinct hangout spots for a small space. Its eclectic bohemian vibe will make you feel right at home and provide you with an excellent base to explore the city.
