Apóstolos
Seven apartments with vaulted arched ceilings and original azulejos - the authentic soul of old Lisbon.
"Vaulted ceilings from the 18th century, hand-painted azulejos, and a street that has hardly changed in 300 years."
Apóstolos is tucked into one of the most characterful streets in Baixa, with original Pombaline arches, vaulted ceilings, and azulejo panels that are each one of a kind.
Seven apartments, each with authentic 18th-century features preserved and restored - arched ceilings, original stone walls, and traditional Portuguese tiles alongside modern kitchens and bathrooms.
It is an address that feels profoundly Lisbon: walkable, historic, and surprisingly calm once you are back inside.

Lisbon's literary quarter, lived in slowly.
Chiado is the neighbourhood where Lisbon learned to read. Fernando Pessoa drank his bicas at Café A Brasileira, and Bertrand (founded 1732, the world's oldest still-operating bookshop) sits a block away on Rua Garrett. After the 1988 fire, Álvaro Siza rebuilt the upper quarter, keeping the Pombaline scale and adding quiet modernist interiors.
Step out of Apóstolos and you stand between two of Lisbon's best viewpoints: Miradouro de Santa Catarina and the Carmo ruins. Coffee at Benard, lunch at Tágide, evening cocktails at Pavilhão Chinês. Designer shopping along Rua Garrett, Time Out Market five minutes south, Bairro Alto five minutes uphill.
- Café A Brasileira, Pessoa's regular table since 1905
- Bertrand Bookshop, the oldest operating bookshop in the world (1732)
- Carmo Convent ruins, an open-air gothic shell, 5 minutes away
- Teatro Nacional de São Carlos, Lisbon's opera house
- Museu do Chiado, Portuguese 19th and 20th century art
- Time Out Market and Cais do Sodré, 5 minutes south

Does every Residentas apartment have air conditioning?
Yes — every Residentas apartment has air conditioning (heating and cooling) in all bedrooms and living areas. You'll find the remote in the living room or bedroom; reach out if anything isn't working as expected.
Is the Wi-Fi fast enough to work from the apartment?

Does this building have an elevator?
Most Residentas buildings have an elevator — check the specific property page or message us before booking if step-free access is important. Buildings without elevators are clearly indicated on the property listing.
Where can I park, and is a car worth it in Lisbon?
The apartments are in central Lisbon where street parking is limited and paid. We recommend nearby public parking garages — specific recommendations are shared in your check-in instructions. Most guests find Lisbon's metro, tram and walkability mean a car isn't worth the cost or hassle.
How far is the apartment from Lisbon airport (LIS)?
Lisbon Humberto Delgado Airport is approximately 7-8 km from central Lisbon — about a 15-25 minute taxi/Uber ride (€12-18) depending on traffic. The Metro red line also connects the airport to the city centre in around 20 minutes.
Are the apartments kid-friendly and safe for families?
Yes, families are very welcome. We can provide a crib/cot and high chair on request, subject to availability — please ask when booking. Apartments include kitchens for easy meal prep, and most are within walking distance of parks and family-friendly cafés.
Can I request extra towels or linens during my stay?
Yes — message us during your stay and we'll arrange a top-up delivery. For stays of 7+ nights, we include a mid-stay refresh of towels and linens automatically.
What are the rules on smoking inside the apartment?
Smoking is not permitted inside any Residentas apartment, including on indoor balconies and terraces where signs are posted. Some properties have outdoor terraces where smoking is allowed — check the property page for specifics. A cleaning fee applies if smoking occurs indoors.
