Estrela is a prestegious neighbourhood, hosting the Parliament and the Prime Minister Residence (next to us) in the old town of Lisbon. The cobbled stoned uphill street, whistling trams, neighbourhood sounds & the peculiarities of an old building provide the guests with the setting for a city break with a twist. It is not perfect, but it is "very typical" of Lisbon! :)

It is easy to go anywhere, either by walking or hopping on the tram 28 (stops on our street).

Our basement apartment is a unique accommodation unit with its own charm. This little apartment is part of our Estrela Suites. The old Portuguese tiles, a bedroom window to an old internal stone wall, bits of pinewood furniture and sounds of the most typical Tram28 passing by.

This basement apartment has one bedroom and a living room with sofa-bed (for 2 people). The living room has also a dining table and TV. There is a little hidden kitchenette with pinewood doors, equipped with fridge, stove & microwave, teakettle, coffee machine and toaster. The living room has two small windows to the famous Calçada da Estrela street, which help to catch some light, a glimpse of people, cars & Tram28 as well as the treetops from Prime Minister´s Garden. The bedroom is an internal room, with a window to an old cellar arch stone wall. Guests are provided with bed linen, bathrobes & shower amenities. There is Wifi & cable TV.
