Overview Gallery Apartments Chiado Find us Reviews FAQ

"Vaulted ceilings from the 18th century, hand-painted azulejos, and a street that has hardly changed in 300 years."

Residentas Apóstolos is tucked into one of the most characterful streets in Chiado, Lisbon's elegant literary quarter, with original Pombaline arches, vaulted ceilings and azulejo panels that are each one of a kind.

The seven apartments range from a studio to one- and two-bedroom duplexes, each with authentic 18th-century features preserved and restored - arched ceilings, original stone walls and traditional Portuguese tiles alongside modern bathrooms.

Away from the busiest streets, it is an address that feels profoundly Lisbon: walkable, historic and surprisingly calm once you are back inside. Check-in is from 4 PM and check-out by 10 AM. Arriving early? You can leave your luggage with us on arrival day, or book Priority Arrival to have your apartment ready from 2 PM.

Neighbourhood

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

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The apartment was well furnished and comfortable. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The location was outstanding for access to authentic Portuguese food, not tourist food, as close as in the same building to the immediate left of the main entrance. The location was great for close access to so many points of interest in Lisboa and the Metro.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The apartment  was centrally located and well appointed, apart from the ensuites. The floor of the shower recess is very slippery  and there  is no grab rail. No shelf or othe facility is provided for one to use for any  product , such as hair conditioner. It also wasn't  clear that the body " soap" was to be used as shampoo. Thirdly, older people of British extraction, may use face washers, otherwise known as "flannels". All of the above are very important to the older traveller. The staff were able p provide a suction mat to be used when showering. It would be helpful to make it known that these are available  on request.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely gorgeous place. Huge rooms in a beautiful restored building in the perfect spot to explore Lisbon. Our apartment no. 24 overlooked Rossio square and it blew us away, it was just such an amazing apartment. The beds and pillows are super comfy, whole place appointed perfectly.  We couldn't believe our luck in finding this place. Communication with host was excellent as well. And thankyou for providing a left luggage space - super handy.
