The house
HiltonRestored Santos townhouse
The property takes its name from the street of green windows. Daily life unfolds around a small open-air courtyard garden.
What it’s good at
Listed
A restored townhouse displaying salvaged residential artifacts, including an antique courtyard tub.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The National Museum of Ancient Art sits just steps away on Rua das Janelas Verdes in the Santos district.
The rooms
Rooms are streamlined and contemporary, divided between the restored townhouse and an adjoining modern wing.
The gym
Cardio machines and free weights sit against pale green walls and graphic murals in the 24-hour fitness room.
At the table
A Mesa serves contemporary Portuguese and Mediterranean cooking across breakfast, lunch, and dinner in an intimate ground-floor dining room.
How it began
A neighborhood bakery once operated on the ground floor. During restoration, workers salvaged historic tiles and an antique sink from former residents.
