Photos and Description of the Castelo vacation apartment rental
1 Bedroom Apartment, 1 Bathroom, Sleeps 4, in Historical District, Free Internet

The Castelo (castle) apartment is a one bedroom apartment in an 18th century building, near the top of the hill in the oldest neighborhood of Lisbon. A few steps away is Castelo Sao Jorge, with its terrace and walls nestled on the highest point of the hill, affording a 360 degree view of Lisbon, the magnificent river Tagus, and the other 6 hills undulating across the city. Down the hill is the majestic main cathedral Se, built in 1050. The cathedral’s tower can be seen from the balcony of the apartment, along with a partial view of the river. The modern 75m2 (800ft2) apartment is filled with natural light, coming through 5 double glass windows/ doors leading to the 2 balconies. It retains traditional Portuguese character throughout. Amenities include security camera, central audio system, hydro message shower cabin, wireless internet, granite and marble bathroom and kitchen. Upon arrival at the apartment, you will be greeted by a local who can provide help 24/7.

During the day, the castle is a popular attraction. At sunset, the neighborhood reverts to a peaceful tranquility, brimming with historical elegance, perfect for romantic strolls on narrow winding cobblestone streets. (Some guests have recommended turning off all the lights in the apartment at night, and opening all the shutters, to bathe in the amber glow from the street lamps, the sparkling lights from the rustic buildings, and the silvery gleam of the moon). Enjoy relaxed dinners at nearby family run restaurants, and drinks at hilltop cafes overlooking the city and its sparkling lights. Or, visit Resto do Chapito, down the block, a restaurant, cafe and bar, with a terrace famed for its spectacular view of the city and the river. And for a relaxing time, visit the top-ranked wine bar around the corner of the building, where the owner will explain to you about all the wine regions in Portugal.

The apartment is easy to reach by mini bus, tram or taxi from other downtown locations. The bus stop is 10m (30ft) from the apartment (frequency: 15 minutes), and the whimsical tram station is a 2 minute walk. Access to other neighborhoods by foot is quick: Baixa (at the bottom of the hill) in 5-10 minutes, Chiado in 15 minutes, and a major subway station in 10-15 minutes. (A guide to finding short cuts for walking is offered in the welcome book.) Car rental is absolutely not needed in Lisbon. The international airport is approximately 15 minutes away by taxi (12 to 20 euros).

Beyond expectations

5 of 5
Submitted: March 19, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
My husband and I had a wonderful experience in this apartment. It is located in the Alfama right next to the caste which is one of the main sights in Lisbon. The apartment is in an old building completely renovated inside and modernized. It is tastefully decorated and so very comfortable. It is beautiful. We loved it and so did the people who used before as we could read in the guest book.The attention we received from the owner goes well beyond what we have received in other places and we do travel regularly. Before our arrival we received pages of info on what to do as we landed, where to get a mobile phone, a taxi,where to eat and what to do, etc...We were overwhelmed. You are welcome buy an English speaking person who explains the workings of the place and leaves an phone number where you can get help 24 hours a day. It could not be better

We could not recommend it more highly.

Owner's Response: Thank you for such a wonderful feedback and I am glad that you had a great stay. A little note about our location, the castle and its surrounding area, including ours, is known as Castelo or the Castle area. Alfama is 10 minutes on the other side, down the hill.

A beautiful place in a beautiful city

My husband and I loved this apartment and this city. The Castelo apartment is beautifully appointed and well located, but its charm lies in its personality and the
unique way it is integrated into its neighborhood and into greater Lisbon. We truly felt as if we were a part of the local neighborhood. Amenities such as a washer and dryer, gorgeous balconies, and air conditioner were complemented by a frequent local bus, excellent restaurants, and generous, friendly neighbors. We can't wait to return.

Beautiful apartment in ideal location

5 of 5
Submitted: October 1, 2012 Stayed: September 2012
We had a wonderful time in Lisbon and loved this beautiful apartment - the pictures really don't do it justice - lovely wood and marble features throughout. We loved that it was a corner apartment with good views and we loved opening the windows and enjoying the breeze. The location is ideal to historical sites like the castle and roman ruins and all the shops and cafes of old town Lisbon. We look forward to staying there and visting Lisbon again one day. All of owners notes, lists, suggestions and information was invaluable.

Amazing place

We really enjoyed staying at this apartment. It was clean and roomy for the three of us and right beside the Castle. I stayed with my mother and teenage son. We all had a great time. I don't think anyone could be more helpful than Joe. All his emails as to where to eat and how to get around were incredibly helpful.

Wonderful Experience

Submitted: May 23, 2012 Stayed: April 2012
This place exceeded our expectations - the owner was terrific providing all types of tips for places to go and things to do... the place was neat and clean and comfortable and the BEST location for our holiday. While intimidated by the windy streets in the castle area, it only took a short time to get oriented to the neighborhood that was convenient to lots of things to see and do and public transportation the best. You must get a Lisboa Card for transportation it takes you everywhere easily!
