The Flor da Murta Apartment in Lisbon

Between Principe Real and Santos, a brand new apartment in a XVIIth century Palace

A few steps away from the São Bento Palace, the Portuguese Parliament House, between Santos and Bairro Alto, both major nightlife spots in Lisbon, and behind the frontage of a noble XVIIth century house, is hiding a well designed condominium of luxury studios. If you chose the Flor da Murta apartment, you’ll stay at a cosy and elegant studio, well located in the heart of the historical city, just take tram 28 passing by your windows and go uphill to the nearby Bairro Alto.

The apartment:

The Flor da Murta apartment is part of a condominium entirely rebuilt which kept the elegant façade of an ancient Palace of the historical centre, a place known as the residence of a courtesan of King D. João V. But from the building entrance onwards, everything is completely modern, with the ultimate XXIst century comfort.

This lovely 40sqm studio, located on ground floor but above street level, features a small entrance opening onto a comfortable living room with a sofa and a plasma TV set with DVD. On your right, the night space has a large double bed (160cm) and a desk cleverly inserted inside the wall. On the opposite side of the room, there is a true kitchen, entirely closed with glass walls, where you can dedicate yourself to your cooking talents if you elect not to go out for dinner in one the nearby restaurants. Finally a large wall-to-wall tiled bathroom with a bathtub. At your disposal enjoy high quality linens and towels.

If you come with a car, a parking space in the closed garage can be rented (with extra charge), a major advantage in this historical district where parking is often an issue. Pay-per-use dryer and washmachine are available in the building.

This is a truly perfect place for those who like contemporary living in the heart of an historical city next to the main tourist points of interest or even for those who are here for business seeking all the modern commodities !
