Why choose a portable AC in Bairro Alto?
Pombaline buildings of 4–5 floors, usually without a lift, with sash windows and thick walls that insulate but retain accumulated heat. Hard to cool quickly with a fan alone.
Daytime indoor temperature in July–August: 30–32 °C. Worst on the upper, west-facing floors.
Legal restrictions in Bairro Alto
Bairro Alto is protected by Lisbon City Council as an area of architectural interest. Installing exterior units on the façade is forbidden. The practical solution: a portable AC.
How we deliver
Our van can't drive Bairro Alto's inner streets — retractable bollards and restricted access. Picking up at the meeting point (Praça Luís de Camões, Rua do Século or Calçada do Combro) is free. Door delivery carries a fee based on effort: €15 with a lift or up to the 2nd floor; €25 for a walk-up from the 3rd floor (up to ~€35 from the 5th). Tell us your floor and whether there's a lift on WhatsApp — we'll confirm the exact amount first.
