The neighbourhood of Bairro Alto where the house is is absolutely amazing, quiet, historic, with tiny cobbled streets, and very atmospheric. The house is extremely spacious, with two kitchens, two sitting rooms and plenty of bathrooms, so comfortably accommodated our party of 11. It is a typical mediterranean style property with tiled floors etc, so it is perhaps best suited to the warm summer months, although there were electric heaters in all the rooms so we were not cold. The house makes a perfect base for seeing Lisbon, walking distance from almost everywhere, and right by the vintage Tram 28 route which takes you all over the city in the best possible way.
