World Heritage Site. Cottage next to Palace

Property Description

A rare find next to Jerónimos Monastery, it was from this VERY site that Portuguese sailors set off to discover new worlds in the 15th century, the villa is a perfect place for your own Lisbon discovery. Oozing with history and romance!

Property Details

Your villa is in one of THE most historic areas of the city, Belém offers almost too much - both of Lisbon's World Heritage Sites, Jerónimos Monastery and the Torre de Belém, the Presidents palace with guardsmen decked out in 19th C' uniforms, a unique coach museum and a world class maritime museum. There is the famous Pasteis de Belém cafe, a whole row of interesting restaurants set in 16th C' buildings, the Belém Cultural centre with its exhibitions and concerts, the planetarium, and botanical gardens. The Tagus river runs under the bridge that looks like the Golden gate presided over by the Christ the King statue, Rio de Janeiro has a look-alike, you might catch a glimpse of the QE2 or the QM2 or one of the many cruise ships that sail out to sea passed your back yard. Sail boats and regattas leave and return to the nearby marinas and the electric train line takes you along the rivers edge to Estoril and its casino, Cascais that picturesque fishing village or just to the many wide sandy beaches of the Portuguese Riviera. Travel to the centre quickly and easily by train, tram, bus or taxi. Here, where the most western part of Europe meets the sea, is where you've got to be.

Historic monuments, museums, opera, live concerts, gourmet restaurants.
Like experiencing a quiet country cottage in a very thriving city. Taking breakfast in our own private courtyard space, transported to a new world of fleeting moments of holiday pleasure in a Lisbon full of life, beauty and friendliness! Thanks for everything. Ann Nolan, Dublin. Thanks you very much for the nice accommodation. The situation of the villa is great, it was easy to get into the center of Lisbon. It is a lovely city, very different from the capitals of other European capitals, we adored the villa and the nice people. Anna, Sergey, Ludmila & Viktoria, Riga, Latvia.
The villa was so nice and so convenient to every thing. Lovely restaurants + Palace and Monastery were wonderful. We just loved going on the trams and seeing all the historical places, also getting the feel of the place to see how others live. Thank you for the villa it was so clean and comfortable. We hope to visit again. Betty Harris Canada. Thank you for the nice accommodation with the lovely living room. Everything was well equipped and the location was brilliant.
