Villa Baixa

Overview

In a privileged setting, between a hill by São Jorge's castle walls on the right, the splendid Santa Justa lift on the left and the nearby deep blue river Tagus, one comes across the Villa Baixa aparthotel. Discreet, with slightly austere yet elegant lines, like many buildings in the “Baixa Pombalina” (the downtown area that was re-built by the Marquis of Pombal, the kingdom's Prime Minister, after the 1755 earthquake), Villa Baixa is engaging both for its historical surroundings and especially for its interiors which combine one of Portugal's most beautiful traditions – tile work – with a contemporaneity displayed in sleek atmospheres, little details and a remarkable comfort to which the 21st century visitor is particularly sensitive.
