About this property

Bica attic in the historical part of the district São Paulo, overlooking the Tagus

The Bica Attic is a bright, sunny apartment in Lisbon District São Paulo. It meets all the conditions that can be put to amenities and comforts of a modern home. And, differently than you might expect from an attic, it is very pleasant temperature thanks to a completely overhauled roof insulation. The apartment is located in the heart of Lisbon, "Bica", a historic district on the southern slopes of Lisbon towards Tejo. She is ideally suited for 1 or 2 couples, but is also well equipped child-friendly (2 double beds, 1 Snap-bed, cot available).

Bica is a picturesque district in the half of the roads are stairs - so hilly it is here. Through the center, the Rua da Bica Duarte Belo cuts, on a ropes drawn tram, a "Elevador" Cais Sodré at the foot up to the Bairro Alto (above) runs. This Elevador operates since 1892 and is classified in the meantime, as a historical object.

In Bica you are virtually "in the midst". Up where Calhariz the party mile Bairro Alto Bica and Sao Paulo separates, one encounters a busy life. Also you will find there plenty of shopping opportunities for everything you need to live.
In Bica you are virtually "in the midst". Up where Calhariz the party mile Bairro Alto Bica and Sao Paulo separates, one encounters a busy life. Also you will find there plenty of shopping opportunities for everything you need to live. Turning to the other hand down, we come to Cais Sodre, the station of the "Linha de Cascais" that, a kind of light rail along the Tagus river goes to the flows in Cascais, the last stop in the open sea.
From the apartment is about 50m upwards until Calhariz. Then right down leads in 2 mins to Largo Camões and in another minute, across the square as early as Café Brasileira in Chiado. Camões (pronounced Kameusch) and Chiado are certainly two names that you should remember, because everyone knows them in Lisbon, and in addition, they are popular meeting places.
Always the legendary tram No 28 along the narrow streets of old Lisbon through to the parliament building in São Bento Turning to the Calhariz arrived but left, as you pass through. And who is there still adventurous and on foot, you can walk on to the cathedral in Estrela. A coffee or tea and one or the other piece "Pasteis" but definitely recommended.

Incredible location
This flat overlooks one of the prettiest streets in Lisbon. It's a bit under-furnished, but its location right in the heart of the city makes it a great find. Highly recommended.

Great Stay in Bica!
We enjoyed the lively energy of the Bica neighborhood and its ideal location. There are numerous restaurants, bars, and shops within close proximity of the property. With the Bica Funicular and the small bars, it may be noisy to some but the property was on the 3rd floor, had new windows which stifled out any street noise plus a quiet little patio facing the internal courtyard.

A great week!
We stayed at Rosa’s apartment for a week and had a fantastic time. The place is clean and spacious and had everything we needed. The location is great, right in the middle of Lisbon. Despite this, we didn’t have any issues with noise at night. I would recommend the apartment to anyone, there’s easily enough space for 4 adults. The small terrace was a lovely bonus!

Special Lisbon Mansard
This is a very special location! Wonder view of the river and the Bica elevador! Everything is walkable from here. Great little balcony. Rosa was very responsive. (I had to look up the term ‘mansard’. It makes it extra special.)

Zentral und sehr schön
Das Apartment ist sehr zentral, direkt an der bekannten Bica Bahn (Elevador da Bica)gelegen. Es ist sehr sauber und wunderbar eingerichtet, so dass man sich sofort zuhause fühlt. In unmittelbarer Umgebung gibt es Restaurants und Bars, so dass man tatsächlich mittendrin ist. Unser Restaurant-Tipp ist das Xapuri Bistro. Circa 10 Minuten zu Fuss. Da man sehr zentral wohnt, ist das eine Schlafzimmer, welches zur Straße geht, etwas lauter, da an der Bica Bahn mehrere Bars sind. Aber das kann man recht gut aushalten. Das andere Schlafzimmer ist dafür sehr leise. Gern wieder.

Wonderful attic apartment
We really loved this apartment, very spacious for us - 3 adults for 5 nights in the heart of Lisbon. Well equipped kitchen and modern bathroom. Great views in different directions including boats on the river from the balcony where the sun shone during the afternoon. Nice 10 min walk up to parc principe real and 10 min down to cais do sodre and only 5 mins from Baxia chiado metro. Local supermarket, bakery, cafes bars and restaurants 3 min walk.

A well-maintained apartment in the heart of downtown Lisbon and close to restaurants, etc.
The Bica apartment was in an interesting section of downtown Lisbon and within walking distance of many restaurants, night-life, transportation, etc. The apartment is small but very nice and cozy for two adults.It also has a great view of the river. Overall, we were pleased and would come back again. Also, Rosa and her colleague Ulrich were both very helpful and greeted us when we arrived,

A real gem in a lively neighborhood
We loved this apartment from the moment we set foot in it: everything was of high quality and lovingly decorated. It had the feeling of a real home and not just your standard IKEA set up. We stayed there during the feast days for St. Anthony and the neighborhood was one big party.The apartment however, while right in the middle of everything was a real peaceful oasis and with the window closed was quiet and private. Plenty of great food nearby, including a wonderful restaurant downstairs in the same building. We would definitely stay here again.

Mitten drin und trotzdem ruhig
Das Apartment ist hochwertig und geschmackvoll ausgestattet. Man wohnt mitten im Bairro Alto, in einem Altstadthaus, aber in einer renovierten und modernen Wohnung. Obwohl um die Ecke das Leben tobt, war es schön ruhig im Apartment. Allerdings war auch noch keine Hochsaison. Die Küche ist sehr gut ausgestattet und die Matratzen sind einwandfrei. Rosa und Ulrich sind prima Gastgeber. Die Kommunikation war bestens und sie waren sehr hilfreich beim Flughafentransfer. Es gibt echt nichts zu meckern.

Adorable Property in Prime Location!
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the Bica attic apartment. The hosts were extremely responsive before and during our stay, and the location provided a great spot from which to see, experience and explore the city! Additionally the apartment was clean and comfortably furnished! Thank you for allowing us to stay in your property!

Loved it! Great location!
Great spot from which to explore Lisbon... The view on the photo is really the street you see looking down from the windows! Very fascinating. It was a "party week" in Lisbon but despite the crowds below, the attic apartment is well insulated, and we heard almost nothing. Great hosts, they even welcomed us with a great bottle of wine!

Appartement de charme
L'appartement tout blanc situé dans les combles est un peu biscornu, partiellement mansardé, mais très agréable, très propre et plein de charme et de recoins, avec une petite vue sur le Tage par dessus les toits. Pas de fausse note dans la déco. Accueil chaleureux. Il est bien situé, dans une rue calme, proche du métro, du tram, du Mercado da Ribeira, du café A Brasileira... Le matériel de cuisine est un peu juste mais il suffit de demander, idem pour le chauffage d'appoint. Un micro ondes serait le bienvenu. Bref, une adresse que nous recommandons. Le prix affiché est pour 2 personnes, au delà il y a un supplément par personne.

himmlischer Altbau - wunderschön restauriert
Charakterstarke, frisch restaurierte und helle Wohnung unter den Dächern der Altstadt. Morgens Kaffee durch das Fensterchen über dem Esstisch mit Blick auf den Tejo. Geschmackvoll und liebevoll-sachlich eingerichtete Küche und Bad. Und vom Vermieter zum Empfang noch leckere Marmelade und Kräuter dazu. Entspannung pur nach Durchwanderungen von Lissabon. Wunderbar!
