Why choose a portable AC in Graça?
Typical old housing (some of the oldest in Lisbon), few renovations, limited cross-ventilation. Buildings on slopes with huge differences in exposure between flats.
Indoor temperature in July–August: 30–32 °C. Flats facing the Senhora do Monte viewpoint suffer the most.
Legal restrictions in Graça
In Graça, the strip next to the Castle and the viewpoints sits in a heritage protection zone — a split on the façade can be refused or fined. Higher up some condominiums do allow them, but tenants and short-let hosts shouldn't wait out a council process: a portable solves it with no paperwork.
How we deliver
Graça sits at the top of the hill: we come up via Rua da Graça or Voz do Operário, but on the steep climbs and the tram 28 streets van access is limited and we finish many deliveries on foot. Picking up at the meeting point (Largo da Graça or Largo de São Vicente) 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 on WhatsApp — we'll confirm the exact amount before we climb.
