Building

Baixa House is a group of 13 cozy apartments for a new concept of accommodation in Lisbon in an old refurbished building. It was constructed at the end of XVIII century, and has been carefully restored conserving most of its original construction elements such as wooden floors, tiles, windows, ceilings… The process finished in February 2011 and opened his doors to a Lisbon self-catering apartments business


If anything doesn’t work properly during your stay please let us know as soon as possible calling 00351 91 9090 895, and we’ll try to fix it quickly. We’ll phone you on your contact number if we need to access the apartment for any repairs or maintenance.

Lisbon downtown ( Baixa) is being reborn to bring back its unique history and character, although some noise may be unavoidable. We will be happy to have all renewed in a short time.

In an effort to prioritize sustainability, a conscious decision was made to forego air conditioning. There was a strong emphasis on recuperating as much as possible from the original “Pombaline style” architecture to preserve the building’s historical integrity.

This approach also involved the reuse of old building materials.
The Pombaline architectural style was noteworthy for its early anti-seismic design features and prefabricated construction methods. Its distinctive feature was a flexible wooden structure embedded within the walls, floors, and roofs. When covered by prefabricated building materials, this structure provides resilience, ensuring that the building “shakes but doesn’t fall.”

Breakfasts

Although being in Lisbon as self-catering apartment business, every day from noon to 16h00 we will access the apartments to replace breakfast products for the next day. At your apartment you’ll always find coffee, tea, sugar, muesli, cocoa, salt, pepper, vinegar and olive oil. Every day we bring yogourt with fresh fruit, butter and home-made jams, juices, milk, a home-made cake, and some savory products (cheese, ham,…). An accommodation in Lisbon where you find the fresh bread every morning at your door between 8h00 and 8h30, we do deliver for you. If you have any special request, or any allergy, please let us know so we can adapt your breakfast to your needs. All this make Baixa House a preferred Lisbon serviced apartment option

Cleaning and Maintenance

Although being a self-catering apartment business in Lisbon, every day from noon to 16h30 we will access the apartments for a basic housekeeping.

As a Lisbon Serviced Apartment, if you need additional cleaning services please let us know at the time of booking. This service will be charged apart from the booking rate, and its price will vary depending on the apartment and number of guests. The apartment is cleaned prior to your arrival. On your departure the accommodation should be left in a reasonable condition but you don’t need to worry about cleaning: we’ll take care of it.
