About this apartment rental
Live Within 16th-Century History
This extraordinary apartment is a preserved wing of the Convento do Paraíso, founded in 1512. Once a vital part of a religious complex including the National Pantheon, the building was meticulously converted into a residence in 2013, uncovering ancient artifacts and ornamental stones during the process.
Historical Highlights:
The Fireplace: Features the original iron staple used to reinforce the stone after it cracked during the Great Earthquake of 1755.
The Architecture: The kitchen and bathroom occupy what were once 16th-century corridors; the smaller rooms served as the convent’s salting and water areas.
Hidden Details: Keep an eye out for the limestone chapel door at the building’s entrance and the "star" emblem of the Oratory Order.
Experience a rare piece of Lisbon’s survival and rebirth in a space that balances modern comfort with five centuries of history.

The property is amazing. It was fun to stay in a place with so much history and that has been remodeled so well. There was a good supply of the basic necessities for the kitchen and bath.
The location was very close to the big flea market, the Metro station and many good restaurants and historical destinations.
We will stay here again when we return.

After trekking up a precipitous hill there was a lack of warmth and welcome. It would have been advantageous to a more thorough explanation of the apartment. It send obvious after spending much time in home always a bit of bread and wine would have been a nice touch. There was a dirth of basic necessities. When the sun goes down the neighborhood might be questionable.
