Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
If you’re looking to experience an authentic side to Lisbon, this home in Graça is the ideal spot. From its polished wood floors to its sloped ceilings and large windows, chic meets comfort in this dazzlingly bright home. We love the living room’s French doors that open out onto a private balcony – ideal for mornings over coffee and a pastel de nata, or watching the sunset over the city’s red rooftops. The bedrooms, meanwhile, are simple yet quirkily fun, with pieces of fun modern art (hello Koons-style dog) that give them plenty of character. We were particularly fond of the master bedroom with its angled ceiling and steps leading out onto a viewing ledge with views of the neighbouring azulejo-clad buildings. With plenty of quiet corners to curl up in with a good book and a snazzy modern kitchen in which to cook up feasts (when you’re not sampling the local foodie hotspots), you’ll have everything you need for a blissfully relaxing stay. Outside of your home, you’re just a five-minute walk from the Miradouro da Senhora do Monte viewing point with its glorious views, a fifteen-minute stroll from the Alfama and São Jorge Castle, as well as a twenty-minute walk from the Santa Justa Lift.

Local guide
About Santa Clara
Located in the northern part of Lisbon, Santa Clara is a civil parish known as a frequesia. This is definitely a tranquil and residential neighbourhood, though thanks to the great transport links, you’re still in close proximity to central Lisbon. Start your day with a fresh coffee and pastel de nata from a local bakery, then enjoy a walk around Parque Oeste. From here, you can hop on the metro...
