The studio has its own private entrance (via a shared front gate) and is located around 15 minutes’ walk to the ferry to Lisbon, or a 2-minute tram ride, with a tram/bus stop just 5 minutes away.

Almada, Setúbal, Portugal
Cacilhas is a vibrant and eclectic waterfront neighborhood. It is a former industrial quarter that is still being revitalized and remains staunchly, authentically local. It is a wonderful place to take in the amazing views of Lisbon from across the Tagus or grab a drink or meal at one of the many excellent restaurants that typically cost half that of Lisbon.

Cacilhas is known for seafood, however there are extensive food choices ranging from steak and pizza to Syrian, Indian, Japanese and gelato. There is an Irish pub down the street, a bookstore cafe that plays jazz music, vintage clothing stores, yoga, meditation and wellness studios offering reiki, acupuncture and therapeutic massages as well as great coffee shops.

Rua Cândido dos Reis is pedestrianized and laid with restaurant terraces, while the nearby Cais do Ginjal has fantastic views of the river, the 25 de Abril bridge and Lisbon. Visit the Boca do Vento elevator, which is attached to the cliff on the riverfront, the Jardim do Rio and Almada Velha, which has an amazing art deco movie theater, an atmospheric local bar/cafe/live music venue (Petisco da Lata) and a contemporary art center, Casa da Cerca.

If you are into beaches, surfing, kitesurfing, it's just 15 minutes’ drive to the spacious beaches of Costa da Caparica, and another 5 to Fonte da Telha, with its white sand beach that goes for kilometers and is backed by limestone cliffs and pine trees. From here you can sometimes see dolphins and always spectacular sunsets. The wild and stunning beaches of Portinho da Arrábida and Praia do Meco are just a 30-minute drive away.
Getting around
You are a comfortable walking distance to the ferry to Lisbon, shops, restaurants and bars.

On foot:

• 10 minutes to the pretty pedestrian stretch of R. Cândido dos Reis
