"the bright, spotless rooms, as-promised

Step directly from your ancient cobblestone lane into this private sunlight-filled, 19th-century vacation apartment
with its charming view of the Igreja do Carmo, Lisbon's soaring monument to the 1755 earthquake. A quick
three-minute walk to the Rossio, Casa Travessa provides easy access to shops, restaurants and
transportation... while hidden away on a quiet residential street.
Compact and cozy with an airy, open floor plan, Casa Travessa is the ideal base for a couple traveling alone or
with a child.
Deceptively quiet, your little street is minutes from some of the most famous restaurants and cafés in Lisbon.
