Floor Plan & Availability Calendar, below
Perched above the Praça dos Restauradores, this beautifully restored 19th-century holiday home is
perfectly located in the heart of historic Lisbon.
With its marble, granite and cork floors, large rooftop garden terrace and inviting leather couches,
Casa Joaquina is the perfect base for exploring Lisbon's past... or just relaxing
on the terrace with a nice, cold glass of Vinho Verde.
The corner fruit markets and cafés tempt you to set aside your guidebook and spend a day or two enjoying Lisbon
like the locals -- sipping coffee and people watching -- while the nearby public pool, reachable only via a maze of
18th century outdoor staircases, provides yet another welcome respite (€3.50/hour, closed August).

Leaving the house, it's an 8 minute walk down to the Rossio, the "Boardwalk" of the Portuguese version of Monopoly.
Or grab our beach towels and cooler and head for the beach. Not beach weather? Visit the Gulbenkian Museum, Belém,
Oceanarium, Zoo...
