Setúbal Apartments
A self-catered base between the market and the river
About this stay
Setúbal Apartments sits seven minutes on foot from the Mercado do Livramento fish market and a minute from the Avenida Luísa Todi riverfront promenade, a position that covers Setúbal's two main daytime draws within easy walking distance. Restaurante O Tavira, a minute away, provides a fallback for nights cooking is not on the agenda. As one of the few dedicated self-catered options near Moita, it fills a real gap in the area's mostly hotel-and-hostel inventory, particularly for travellers staying a week or more who want to shop fresh at the market rather than eat out every night of a longer visit. For travellers who have already tried Setúbal's hotels and hostels on a previous trip, the apartment offers a genuinely different way to experience the town, closer to how a resident might actually live day to day.
- Self-catered kitchen
- Central Setúbal location
- Near the riverfront
- Restaurant nearby
Our take
This suits travellers staying several nights or longer who want kitchen access and flexibility over a standard hotel room, particularly those planning to shop at the nearby fish market regularly. Short-stay travellers of a night or two will likely find better value at one of Setúbal's budget hostels instead. The savings on food alone tend to make up for the slightly higher nightly rate over a stay of several days.
- Book for three nights or longer, the kitchen access pays off most once a routine sets in.
- Shop at the Mercado do Livramento in the morning, it is a realistic seven-minute walk from the apartment.
- Try Restaurante O Tavira on nights you skip cooking, it sits a minute from the door.
Why we love it
- Seven minutes from the fish market

- A rare apartment option near Moita
Why guests love itBy the middle of the week I had a favorite fish stall at the market and a regular table at O Tavira for the nights I did not feel like cooking, a rhythm no hotel stay had ever given me before. The one-minute walk to Avenida Luísa Todi rounded out most evenings before bed. It felt less like a holiday and more like actually living in Setúbal for a while, which was exactly the point of choosing an apartment over a hotel room this time.
