Bento Apartment Portugal
Holiday Home Rental Description
Located in an exclusive area in one of the most historically rich parts of Lisbon, Bento Apartment is a wonderful base to explore this sublime city with space to accommodate up to 14 guests!
The entire apartment occupies the first floor of a charming, historical building, and offers a perfect hub of the home in the spacious living room, between the four large bedrooms. There is a lovely large sofa and comfortable chairs in front of the TV, giving you a cosy spot for curling up after a long day of exploring this vibrant city! With two balcony doors leading directly from the living room, the interiors are flooded with an enchanting warm glow of natural light, ideal for when the sun’s shining! Besides is the separate dining room, once again enjoying balcony access! Finally, there is a huge modern kitchen so that you can prepare snacks, meals and maybe even a packed lunch for your adventures!
There are four magnificent bedrooms, including six double beds and one twin room. Each of the double rooms has a large double bed on the main floor, with a second double bed on the mezzanine level, making the most of these incredibly high ceilings and ensuring space for a huge group of friends or family to holiday together! Two of these rooms even have a private en-suite bathroom, each of which is totally unique and utterly beautiful, with traditional patterns, elegant décor and luxurious facilities. The twin room is the most spacious and offers another fabulous balcony for soaking up a little sunshine. This room and the third double room share a spacious bathroom.
To enjoy a little fresh air, you needn’t even leave your comfortable villa, as there’s a fantastic courtyard, complete with a set of tables and chairs accessible directly from the kitchen!
Located in an enchanting, historical district of Lisbon, you’re actually right beside the Parliament building of São Bento! And there are lots of pastry shops and small cafes nearby where you can enjoy a coffee and a snack and perhaps even practice a little Portuguese with the friendly locals! The well-known districts of Barrio Alto and Principe Real are just a 5-minute walk away and are the best spot for fantastic restaurants and vibrant nightlife! Bento Apartment is ideally located to enjoy Portugal’s thriving capital city, tucked away in the historical area of the old town with wonderful parks, endless shops and bars and all kinds of restaurants on your doorstep!
Lisbon is known for its lively nightlife, with world-class bars and clubs full of fun-loving locals and tourists alike, where you can enjoy a tipple of the local drinks and meet people from all over the world! And of course, the city has plenty of fascinating history – check out the region ‘Belém’ which is jam-packed with monuments! Famously termed the ‘city of the seven hills’, Lisbon has a picturesque, undulating terrain, providing mesmerising views from across the city!
Portugal itself is a small, fascinating country at the most Western point of mainland Europe. With a vast coastline with the powerful Atlantic Ocean, it is a true paradise for the keen surfer, or indeed even those looking to try it for the first time, with plenty of surfing schools all along the calmer sections of the coast. Of course, it is not only the world-famous waves but also the completely pollution-free water, and the lack of deadly sharks found in warmer areas that put it so firmly on the map as the surfing Mecca of the world.
And even for those less keen on surfing, the beaches of Portugal are well worth a visit for their beautifully clear waters, and almost all have a bar at which you can enjoy a tipple. Other active pursuits include a sublime cycling trip through the breath-taking scenery of Geres, or indeed white-water rafting on the river Douro! For those more into the gentle pace of a golfing day out, Portugal is a real haven, with 14 of the world’s top 100 best golf courses!
