Wonderfully bright and designed with a keen eye for detail, this beautiful apartment in Lisbon’s scenic Mouraria neighbourhood is the ideal base for those wanting to be within easy walking distance of the city’s best sights. Inside, wood floors and a calm blue palette create a cool harmony in each part of the open-plan living space. From the bathroom’s pretty tiles to the mezzanine bedroom’s wall and ceiling, there’s a Mediterranean vibe here in the sky-coloured hues that feel as laid-back as it does chic. We love the French doors that open out onto a Juliet balcony – ideal for perching with your morning coffee while admiring your street’s azulejo-clad buildings. We’re big fans, too, of the nods to Portuguese traditions, like the cork around the bathroom’s sink and the kitchen’s blue and white tiles. Outside of your home, you're just a thirteen-minute walk from the Alfama and its São Jorge Castle, the Santa Justa Lift is a fifteen-minute walk and Praça do Comércio is a twenty-minute stroll from your home. With countless restaurants, shops and some of the city’s oldest fado bars in your neighbourhood too, you’re all set to soak up the city’s culture, food and history in style.

Situated in Mouraria, home to sun-dappled cobbled lanes and the bustling Martim Moniz square that erupts with Asian, African, and Arabic flavours, this apartment is a perfect choice for those wanting to explore the city’s history. There’s a focus on relaxation here, with a no-fuss approach to the interiors and a private terrace where you’ll spend mornings soaking up the glorious Iberian sunshine. Take inspiration from the exploration themed artwork as you sip an espresso or sit down at the contemporary dining table and put the finishing touches to your agenda. The dinky kitchenette is equipped with the basics, though with Lisbon’s rich culinary scene on your doorstep, we imagine you’ll be doing most of your dining out. Take the eighteen-minute stroll downhill to Praça do Comércio, stopping off at the Santa Justa Elevator and 12th century Lisbon Cathedral along the way. End your excursion at the River Tagus; find a spot to watch a knockout sunset dance across the calm waters.

Tucked away in a quiet corner of Graça, away from the hordes of tourists in Baixa and the Bairro Alto, you'll find this comfortable apartment. If you're keen to experience a more authentic side to Lisbon and immerse yourself in the city's unique charms, then it's the ideal place to call home during your stay. 

The whole building’s been recently renovated, giving it a fresh and clean feel. Inside the apartment itself, there's a tranquil ambiance thanks to the blue and cream colour scheme, reminding you that the water's edge isn't too far away. The open-plan setup makes it easy to chat with your guests while you cook, before serving up your culinary creations at the handsome wooden table. And there's even a little balcony, so you can breathe in some fresh air as you enjoy a nightcap at the end of a long day. 

From here, you're in the perfect position to roam Graça's winding streets, discovering hidden gems like quaint port bars and artisanal boutiques. The Miradouro da Graça, with its stunning panoramic views, is only a seven-minute walk away, and the Miradouro da Senhora do Monte is even closer. And, if you want to tick off your sightseeing list, then the Castelo de São Jorge and Lisbon Cathedral are within a fifteen-minute stroll.

This cheery home embodies everything we love about Lisbon’s Alfama neighbourhood, from its bright colours to its traditional details. Housed in a beautiful pink building topped with the city’s emblematic red roof tiles, there’s something uniquely modern about this stylish home while remaining true to its historic surroundings. You’ll love waking up starting your day off in the luxurious marble en-suite, then walking out onto your beautiful private terrace for a sunny breakfast amongst the tiled ornaments and leafy plants. After catching up on some reading on the sofa or the bedroom’s zebra-striped armchair, head out to explore your surroundings – you couldn’t be better placed to get the most out of the city’s sights. São Jorge Castle is a mere five-minute walk away, the harbour-facing Praça do Comércio a fifteen-minute stroll from your door, while Bairro Alto’s Fado bars and hip restaurants are twenty minutes away on foot. Don't miss making a beeline for the Portas Do Sol Terrace at sunset too for awe-inspiring views over the Tagus, a four-minute walk away.

Getting lost in Mouraria's winding streets is a trip into the past, and part of the neighbourhood's authentic appeal. The Azure Terrace is situated in a house typical for the neighbourhood, which means that the outside (in stark contrast to the home itself) is a bit scruffy. The Azure Terrace is a home with all the features we want to see in a Lisbon Plum home – a private terrace, cute rustic design with lots of modern features and plenty of natural light. The abundance of fado shown in the vicinity is just a bonus.

Parking Available

Sharing a wall with São Vicente da Fora monastery, this stylish apartment will get you up close and personal with Alfama’s history and pre-earthquake architecture. 

Inside the home, expect a generous use of wood and mid-century modern furniture. There’s a cosy living area with a desk should you need to work during your stay and a compact kitchenette with all the essentials you’ll need for putting together quick meals. After a cup of coffee and a traditional sweet pastry in the sunshine of the communal courtyard, head into the higgledy-piggledy streets that surround your pad. 

Explore São Jorge Castle, a ten-minute walk away, before catching the iconic tram 28 to Baxia, Lisbon’s downtown district. Shop along the Rua Augusta, people watch in the elegant Praça do Comércio and admire the River Tagus from the top of the Santa Justa Lift. 

Cool Unity

In the hilly old streets of Lisbon’s Alfama neighbourhood, you’ve got viewpoints and ancient sights at every turn. From your doorstep, it’s a fifteen-minute walk to the ancient fortification of Castelo S. Jorge, overlooking the orange rooftops of Old Lisbon. A little closer to home, you can explore the trinkets and artworks of Mercado de Santa Clara, a vintage market five minutes’ walk away. Of course, this close to the centre, the streets around you are packed with restaurants, bars and bakeries to fuel your days.

Inside, fawn walls are livened up with bold floral artworks and pops of lipstick-red thanks to the plush dining chairs. The kitchen is a soothing space of lightwood and white, with everything you need for self-catering. Perhaps serve meals at the table in the conservatory-style covered courtyard where a roof of glass lets the natural light stream in.

Floral Daydream

Desk

This playful pad offers a central location and places you in a prime spot for exploring Lisbon's cultural landmarks on foot. Even for ventures further afield, you'll find Graça bus stop is only a minute's walk away. We think it's ideal for families and groups of friends, with a private outside dining terrace complete with a barbecue, as well as plenty of indoor space to relax. The colourful bedrooms will have you up and raring to go come morning – and just as well, with so much to see and do nearby. Note that there's no lift here, so be prepared to climb three flights of stairs to reach the apartment.

The Glass Sea

Old meets new in the most spectacular fashion at this uber-modern apartment perched along a quiet street in Graça, Lisbon's oldest and highest district.

A home for connoisseurs of contemporary design, it's the glass-topped atrium garden taking all the glory here – and rightly so. Cleverly connecting the bedroom and living spaces and flooding the home with natural light, the terraces are an atmospheric place to hang out come day or night.

Inside, the hosts have injected some serious personality and style into this home. Statement lighting and feature walls add interest, while colourful ceramics remind you Lisbon's streets aren't far away. 

Friends or family sharing will love how spread apart the bedrooms feel for added privacy, and there's heaps of space in the living areas. While some of you rustle up a bite to eat in the made-for-action kitchen, the rest can keep you company at the breakfast bar stools or spill out into the lounge.

Lingering over coffees and pastel de natas in the quiet of the atrium, you'd hardly believe how central this home is. But Graça's authentic family-run bistros, fado houses, and intimate wine bars are just a stroll away. Or hop on Tram 28 (twelve minutes on foot) to blaze a trail into downtown Lisbon.

High Jinks

With a commanding position looking out over Lisbon's red-tiled roofs, this Alfama apartment offers a dash of urban fun with plenty of functionality. The home's corner position in the building means there is natural light from several sides here, and we love the small balcony – with the stunning views, this is no generic I-could-be-anywhere home, as you'll definitely know you're in Lisbon. Outside, the Alfama district has plenty of history to explore, and you're not far from the coast either.

Quirky Lisbon

Right around the corner from Castelo São Jorge, this large, elegant home is within walking distance of most central Lisbon sights – perfect for a first-time visitor to the city. Thanks to the original windows, this apartment enjoys fantastic natural light – and the well-executed hangout spots under them are great for reading. The carefully selected furniture works well with the original architectural features, and your hosts have been careful not to overfill the home. You'll be staying in Alfama, one of Lisbon's oldest neighbourhoods, famous for fado houses and wonderful hospitality. After exploring on foot, your home is conveniently close to a stop on the iconic number 12 tram, which means you can rest up as you trundle back up the hill. End the day in true local style at Botequim, a couple of hundred metres up the road. Grab a seat outside this iconic Lisbon watering hole and sip on a glass of local wine as the sun sets.

A room with a view – yes please. This apartment is based in the historic Graça district, close to the Senhora do Monte viewpoint. Its elevated position means that it boasts a glorious view of Lisbon, which can be enjoyed on the petite but charming balcony. The rest of the apartment is on the small side too, but with so much to explore from your doorstep, you’re not likely to want to spend too long inside anyway. Most of Lisbon’s must-visit sights are within walking distance, so pack comfy shoes. 

Modern Retreat

Lisbon is having a moment right now. The beating heart of Portugal, this glossy tile-lined city boasts glittering sea views, a rich history and a mouth-watering foodie culture. Hours and hours can be spent wandering the narrow, cobbled streets, hopping on and off trams, sipping port in the street and clutching warm pastéis de nata in brown paper bags. This recently renovated apartment could not be more perfectly placed. Situated in a 100-year-old building, with the 11th century Castelo de São Jorge as your neighbour, it offers an interior that's streamlined and functional, enriched by little historical features an expert's eye can immediately pick out – there’s even Portuguese marble in the bathroom. We really love the sunny terrace with views of the castle – take a hot coffee out here and watch the world go by. 

Custard Tart

Just steps away from one of the most spectacular panoramic viewpoints over the city, on the top of the highest of Lisbon's seven hills, this beautiful three-bedroom apartment is the perfect package for a family or group of friends looking to experience the best of the city away from the flocks of tourists in Alfama and Baixa. 

Of course, those areas attract visitors for a reason, and you're well within a ten-to-twenty-five minute walk of most of the city's headline attractions, including Sé de Lisboa, Praça do Comercio and Convento do Carmo. However, for an authentic taste of Lisbon, there are plenty of classic cafes and local restaurants closer to home that will charge you a lot less by dint of not being in the centre.

Once you're inside the apartment, you'll be greeted by a stunning open-plan space with a bench seating area, a six-seater dining table and a sleek wooden kitchen. A polished concrete floor only adds to the contemporary aesthetic, while the balcony offers a partial panorama over the city. Elsewhere, three individually decorated bedrooms (including one en-suite) provide serene surroundings to unwind at the end of a busy day.


Seven Hills

Small but mighty, this bold home in the Graça district has some of Lisbon's most iconic landmarks within walking distance. The National Pantheon, Sé Cathedral and São Jorge Castle lie minutes away, and Feira da Ladra, the famous flea market, operates close by. Although the apartment is compact, it has enough room for a small family, and there's a balcony – with fantastic city views, no less – where you can enjoy alfresco breakfasts or late-night drinks. You also have all of Lisbon at your feet, but it's worth mentioning it's a steep walk back up to the home, plus another flight of steps to reach the first floor – luckily, there's a tram stop nearby.

The Emerald One

Netflix

Smart TV

A split-level home that uncannily resembles a chic Scandinavian cottage is an unusual find in Lisbon – but maybe that's why it works so well. Hidden on a small square just next to Saõ Vicente de Fora Monastery (which even shares a wall with the building), sleek and professionally designed, Blissful Unity is a great mix of old and new features, which melds together traditional Portugueses design with modern, mid-century-inspired furniture. Just around the corner, the iconic Feira de Ladra flea market takes place twice a week – don't miss it!

Blissful Unity

Blender

Hilly Graça serves as the backdrop to this bright apartment just a ten-minute walk from  Miradouro da Senhora do Monte, Lisbon’s highest viewing point. Inside, white walls, wood floors and contemporary furnishings create a warm and friendly welcome in the living room, with a glass door leading out onto a wrought-iron Juliet balcony. This is the perfect spot to begin your day with coffee while gazing out over the city’s red rooftops. And, with an equally beautiful Juliet balcony in the bedroom, you’re never far from a stunning view. With myriad characterful details that create the perfect Lisbon setting – from the azulejo-clad dining table to the wood-panelled kitchen – this apartment is certain to make you feel right at home. Factor in the shared garden and you’ve got everything you need for a relaxing stay. When you’re not kicking back in your stylish pad, go out and explore the city’s sights. You’re just a twenty-minute walk from the historic Alfama district and the São Jorge Castle, a ten-minute walk from the Feira da ladra market and a thirty-minute stroll from Praça do Comércio.

If you’re looking to experience an authentic side to Lisbon, this home in Graça is the ideal spot. From its polished wood floors to its sloped ceilings and large windows, chic meets comfort in this dazzlingly bright home. We love the living room’s French doors that open out onto a private balcony – ideal for mornings over coffee and a pastel de nata, or watching the sunset over the city’s red rooftops. The bedrooms, meanwhile, are simple yet quirkily fun, with pieces of fun modern art (hello Koons-style dog) that give them plenty of character. We were particularly fond of the master bedroom with its angled ceiling and steps leading out onto a viewing ledge with views of the neighbouring azulejo-clad buildings. With plenty of quiet corners to curl up in with a good book and a snazzy modern kitchen in which to cook up feasts (when you’re not sampling the local foodie hotspots), you’ll have everything you need for a blissfully relaxing stay. Outside of your home, you’re just a five-minute walk from the Miradouro da Senhora do Monte viewing point with its glorious views, a fifteen-minute stroll from the Alfama and São Jorge Castle, as well as a twenty-minute walk from the Santa Justa Lift.

Outdoor Audio

With books, board games, a film library, darts and even mini-golf, you certainly won’t be bored at this classic Lisbon home. A beautiful back garden filled with plants, birds and fish makes for the perfect entertaining spot – throw dinner on the grill or pass time idly on the outdoor sofa with some Vinho Verde in hand. The older architecture of the building gives the home plenty of character – we love the high ceilings with plaster moldings, massive working fireplace, and marble floors. There’s an understated elegance to the home and a comfortable, lived-in family vibe, all while preserving the feeling that this stay is entirely unique. You’ll be steps from one of the most magical lookout points in the city – Senhora de Monte – and surrounded by the district of Graça. It has the local atmosphere of an old neighbourhood – full of shops, butchers, restaurants and cafes, while still being central to the sights of the city. Hop on the legendary yellow tram 28, which passes 100 metres in front of the home, and ride it to the top of Lisbon’s hills to admire the city’s architectural treasures. You’re only a twelve-minute walk from the beautiful buildings and streets of Alfama, where Lisbon’s charm is sure to take hold of you.

Although this home was built with functionality in mind, we found plenty to love about The Writer's Corne beyond its on-point location in Lisbon. Nestled in one of the most diverse neighbourhoods in Lisbon, Mouraria's narrow and colourful streets will show you a different side of the capital. Minimal interiors, soft furnishings and a laid-back design aesthetic give way to lots of natural light flooding through the space.  At the edge of the dining area, there's a great little spot with a chair and desk, flooded with light – perfect for writing your travel memoir or remote working. With the master bedroom featuring its own en-suite bathroom, leaving the main bathroom for the other guests - this home truly is the perfect spot for a small group of friends who want to lap up Lisbon with pure ease and comfort. For days of downtime and relaxation, make the most of the resident-only terrace and infinity pool that offers a breathtaking view of the historic São Jorge Castle. Head to the stunning Jardim da Cerca da Graça park, only a four-minute walk away for a coffee with some fresh air, before weaving in and out of the quaint streets of Mouraria or hopping on the tramway to venture further afield. 

The Writer's Corner

Located in the Graça neighbourhood of Lisbon, this spot offers views across the Tagus River and Lisbon's National Pantheon. Just a four-minute walk from the nearest supermarket and Portuguese bakery, the balcony terrace makes an idyllic little spot to sit with your morning coffee and pastries overlooking the city's rooftops. However, it's worth noting that the kitchen is small, and its compact layout makes it difficult to cook more substantial meals. Conveniently, the bedrooms feature air conditioning, although we think the fourth bedroom (with a double sofa bed) is better suited to one guest rather than two. 




The Watercolour Effect

Cafetiere

Give studio living a try at this stylish apartment in the heart of the old-town  Alfama district. Unlike other studio arrangements, Olaria has a well-separated dining area and kitchen, which creates a much more pleasant experience for an adventurous duo of travellers. Knock up a Piri Piri chicken to go with your glass of Lisbon wine over lunch, devour your morning pastel de nata around the dining table or map out the day's adventure while sipping on an espresso. And as far as bedroom/living spaces go, this one is right up there. We love the swallow-themed decoration above the bed, eclectic prints gallery wall and streams of natural light coming in through the balcony doors. You'll be staying in one of Lisbon's most authentic neighbourhoods, with easy access to the Sé de Lisboa (a sixteen-minute stroll) and numerous Fado houses in the area – we should mention that the Moorish Quarter (a five-minute walk) is superbly photogenic. Soak up the atmosphere as you pass idiosyncratic boutiques and sip homemade coffees along windy cobbled streets. It's a lovely spot to see Lisbon from, whether you're a first-timer or back for seconds, thirds (fourths?).  

Olaria

Whether you’re visiting Lisbon as a family or here with another couple, this cosy apartment nestled in the historic Graça district will make for a good base while you explore all that this city has to offer. Situated within walking distance from Graça square, Fado Museum, Panteão Nacional and the viewpoint of Portas do Sol, you’ll be able to really take advantage of this home’s prime location.

While the inside is certainly on the more compact side, there’s plenty of light and warmth here to make up for the small size. Come inside to find an open-plan living and dining area, with a snuggly window seating area and a table where you can savour your communal meals or catch up on any work you may have outstanding. We think the kitchen is better suited for rustling up lighter bites, rather than elaborate feats, but with an abundance of fantastic restaurants on your doorstep, this shouldn’t be a problem. Get a good night’s rest in either of the home’s two bedrooms and wake up to the lovely views of the city – after breakfast, get ready to head out and discover all that Lisbon has to offer.

Amazing Graça

Free Parking On Premises

Set along a quiet street in the traditional Graça neighbourhood, this apartment offers you peace and tranquillity while being within easy reach of Lisbon's lively city centre. You'll find plenty of casual eateries and hidden wine bars nearby, plus the viewpoint of Senhora do Monte is just 100m from your door. Inside, the home is surprisingly practical. The open living and dining area makes for sociable hang-outs, and both bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms to speed mornings along. It's worth noting that the kitchen is a little dated, although it's well-equipped for preparing homemade meals. There's also a lift and garage parking within the apartment building. 

The Dreamer's Pal

Located in Lisbon’s historic Graça district, you’re in a prime location to explore the capital. The apartment sleeps up to four people, though some parts are a bit of a tight squeeze and the kitchen is probably better suited to lighter meals – but with a plethora of eateries and sights on your doorstep, we figure you’ll be spending most of your time exploring. Start your day at the Senhora do Monte viewpoint, located right next to the apartment. From here you can walk onto Castelo de S. Jorge – stopping off for some obligatory pastel de nata on your way. 

Sunshine & Blue

Luxury Bedding

Step-Free Access

Found in a bold residential building in the historical heart of Graça, this apartment goes down a treat with families or groups of friends wanting to explore Lisbon's vibrant culture. Minutes away from the beautiful Cathedral and surrounded by restaurants and cafes, it's only a ten-minute walk to Martim Moniz, where public transport can zip you across the city. A city, which coincidentally, you can see quite well from the apartment's panoramic views – it helps that the building is perched on one of Graça's highest hills. Bright, cosy, and with a central location? We think yes.

Sunshine & Roses

Located in the historical Graça district, this modern apartment offers spectacular views over the Lisbon skyline from the comfort of your armchair. 

Stepping inside, you'll find a wonderfully bright and open living space at the core of the home, perfect for socialising and relaxing at the end of a long day spent sightseeing. You'll be able to reach many of the top sights and attractions on foot, while the nearby tram stop connects you to the entire city.

Days begin curled on on the sofa with your morning cup of coffee and a nata tart, while evenings at home are made for sharing petiscos (Portuguese tapas) and bottles of red wine around the pristine dining table. And when bedtime arrives, slide open the sleek bedroom doors to reveal a sumptuous place to lay your sleepy head. 

When it's time to get out, explore the atmospheric streets below in one of Lisbon's oldest neighbourhoods. Just a short walk from the Sao Jorge Castle, with various traditional restaurants and cosy bars right on your doorstep, this desirable spot will have you feeling like a local in no time. 

Saving Graça

This home doesn't feel like a typically designed Portuguese apartment – the Scandi-inspired design makes it look like an out-of-place cottage that you'd expect to find in the Alps. Still, the chic brick walls of Minimalist Unity create a pleasant atmosphere, greatly aided by the generous use of wood. This home is right next to São Vicente da Fora monastery, and it even shares a wall with the venerable attraction. Located right next to Feira de Ladra, the flea market brings the area to life every Tuesday and Saturday.  

Minimalist Unity

Tucked away on a small square next to São Vicente da Fora monastery, Fine Unity is an unusual home to find in Lisbon. It's a small, split-level cottage, which even shares part of its wall with the monastery. It's clear that a professional was involved in the creation of this home – the original architectural features coexist with mid-century-inspired furniture, resulting in a perfect hybrid between Portuguese and Scandinavian design. This home is located right next to Feira de Ladra, which brings the area to life every Tuesday and Saturday.  

Fine Unity

Pets Allowed

Pets

Situated in Lisbon's Graça neighbourhood, this apartment is ideal for a city break. Furry friends are welcome for an additional fee and the main bedroom enjoys its own en-suite for that bit of extra privacy. There are several Juliet balconies here – while not big enough to sit out on, they bring the vibrant sights and sounds of the city indoors. You can expect some outside noise here, but it's nothing some ear plugs won't fix and you'll find an array of restaurants and shops right on your doorstep. Public transport is within easy reach if you don't drive, but you'll have an allocated parking spot.

Flavoured Dream

Rooftop Terrace

Outdoor Shower

Sun Loungers / Beach Chairs

From the crotchet tablecloth to the wicker chairs and exposed stone walls, there's a lot of lovely traditional charm in this home. Set in the Graça neighbourhood, it feels quintessentially Portuguese, with antique furniture and an eclectic interior. The cosy kitchen is strung with pots, pans and old branches, while two living spaces host velvet sofas, towering bookcases and intimate writing desks. The bedrooms are similarly retro, with parquet flooring, maps on the walls and heavy wooden shutters to keep out the hustle and bustle from the cobbled streets below. The charms of the capital are in easy reach, though you can get a taste of the atmosphere just as well from the roof area. Overlooking terracotta roofs and out towards the ocean, the terrace has loungers and a dining set, perfect for alfresco drinks come evening.

Casa da Vovó

Sound System

Occupying a privileged spot in a historic building, this penthouse apartment offers impressive city views and a wonderful sense of sanctuary. Spread across two floors, the rooms have been designed to bring ease and comfort to daily living – making this a great option for a restorative getaway or a productive work trip. It’s worth noting there are lots of steps to climb here, but you will have a small private balcony and access to a shared rooftop terrace. Outside, stroll to nearby shops and cafes, make your way into the centre (just twenty minutes away) or jump aboard the Tram 28 – just a five-minute walk from here. 

Bamboo Moon

Situated in the charming area of Graça, this luminous flat is a cosy retreat in one of Lisbon's most authentic neighbourhoods. The sun-kissed private terrace is our favourite spot. Begin the morning out there with a strong cup of coffee and pasteis de nata in the fresh air – your host can also arrange breakfast – and close the day with a glass of Vinho Verde come nightfall. You'll also have access to a communal garden, which is perfect for picnics in the late-afternoon sunshine. Inside, the sleek design is complemented by brilliant pops of red. Sprawl out on the sofa for a post-sightseeing catnap or gather around the table for a typical Portuguese dinner. 

Another thing we adore is the location. You're a bit further away from the hustle and bustle in the city centre, but with the famous 28 Tram a short walk away, you won't have to travel far to see the sights. Here, narrow streets are flanked by local restaurants, bakeries and open-air cafes, all serving up delectable regional dishes. Make sure to take in the panoramic views from the hilltop observation points – our favourite is Miradouro da Senhora do Monte, easily reached on foot. Or, explore in style and ask your host to arrange river cruises, helicopter tours and other experiences.

Vermilion at Dusk

Tucked away on a residential street in Alfama, this home is a triple threat of charm, location, and views. This is a cosy haven with a simple design aesthetic that focuses on functionality and comfort – but we really liked the French doors and the hardwood steps that take you up to the attic bedroom. We were torn between the quaint communal terrace at the back and the spectacular river views from the living room. In the end, we decided to split our time between the two. Want to discover the real Lisbon? Slip on your most comfortable trainers and get lost in the charming labyrinthine streets of Alfama. If you want to save your legs, two of the city's most iconic tram routes pass within five minutes of your hillside home. Music lovers should head to the Museu do Fado, a three-minute walk, while history buffs will enjoy the impressive Castelo de São Jorge and Sé de Lisboa, both ten minutes away.

Classical Fadista

Like its lovely downstairs neighbour, Quarta Bicicleta is one of the nicest homes in this part of Alfama – and trust us, we've seen many. The location at the foot of the São Jorge Castle will make sightseeing effortless, and the terrace has some pretty sweet views of the river too. With a coherent modern design and high quality furniture, the only thing we can really fault this home for are the slanting ceilings (if you're tall), and the wall art might not be to everyone's taste. 

Quarta Bicicleta

Thanks to its central location in Lisbon's bohemian Bairro Alto, this apartment is the perfect base to explore the Portuguese capital. Walk the winding streets of this neighbourhood to immerse yourself in the culture and architecture of Lisbon. When the hills get a bit too much, you can always hop onto one of the iconic trams as they weave their way through the city. You're four minutes' walk from the breathtaking city views of Miradouro de São Pedro, a six-minute walk from the opulent interior of the Church of Sao Roque, and six minutes from the mournful sounds of fado that accompany dinner at legendary Lisbon restaurant, Adega Machado. At the end of a day of exploring, retreat to your sleek and modern home, where traditional features harmoniously coexist with minimalist modern furniture – it's a stark contrast to the art-daubed cobbled streets below. We love the natural light and the roomy bedrooms, which make getting up in the morning an absolute pleasure. 

Motiva

There's more to Alfama than exploring medieval architecture and its fado legacy. Its maze-like streets are a joy to get lost in, and the nearby waterfront is a popular nightlife spot, so make sure to pack a pair of shoes for every occasion. This apartment stands out for its minimalist modern design in this historic area. There's a lot of space for you to enjoy, filled only by a few select pieces of furniture, which sets you up for a relaxing stay without lots of clutter around. There's a bedroom balcony, which isn't huge, but it does offer a brilliant view of the Sé Cathedral – which offers a taste of what the city has in store. So, lace up your trainers and set out to explore the city's seven hills. You're only a few minutes from the impressive Praça do Comércio and the grid-like shopping streets of downtown Baixa. If you fancy exploring further afield, then you're close to the Sé stop of the iconic 28 tram.

The Creative State

Streaming Services

If you're quite particular about location, then this apartment is the place for you. Situated inside a period building on Rua de Santa Justa, you'll be able to spot Arco da Rua Augusta from the living room, and walk to Elevador de Santa Justa in just one minute – it doesn't get much more convenient than that. Beautifully restored and filled with light, this home is as stylish as it is comfortable. We especially loved the kitchen's bright yellow tiles, where you can prepare a delicious meal using fresh ingredients to share at the sleek glass table. There's also a desk for catching up on work, and a plush sofa where you can put your feet up and enjoy some Portuguese wine – but with so much to do right on your doorstep, we think you'll hardly find the time. 

Floral Uplift

Heated Towel Rail

With a fabulous central location and set in a renovated period building, this home is simple, smart, and a little bit sassy. Painted all white, with shuttered windows and warm wood floors, it's a traditional apartment with some far from traditional wall art (we see you, Julia Roberts). A bright living area boasts a particularly squashy corner sofa and a modern dining table with chairs for up to six. The kitchen is sleek and modern, with all you could need to whip up light meals, and the bedrooms are spacious and full of natural light. You'll even have a narrow balcony here, on which to sip coffee, read a newspaper and people watch on the street below. On the lower side of Alfama, you'll get to enjoy a view of the Sé Cathedral, and all the city's sights are within walking distance – we recommend you start your tour at the nearby Praça do Comércio.

Proverbs

Sitting on a street boasting one of the oldest houses in Lisbon – dating back almost five hundred years – this beautiful spot in the Alfama district paints a picture of what the capital looked like pre-earthquake. And although this bright apartment isn't half that old, it's surrounded by quaint, winding streets full of photo opportunities, fado houses and picturesque squares. 
 
You’ll instantly be charmed by the dazzling amount of natural light that fills this home thanks to the trio of French doors in the living room that gives way to a private narrow balcony. Perch here in the morning with a fresh cup of coffee while taking in views of the square below or gather here at sundown for a glass of wine before exploring the local dining scene. 
 
The window-side table beckons intimate breakfasts over locally bought pastéis de nata or cosy dinners at home when you’re not experiencing the city’s nightlife, while the pared-back bedroom offers the ideal canvas for a perfectly restful night’s sleep. Factor in the bathroom’s luxurious rainfall shower – sure to get any day off on the right foot – and you’ve got everything you need for a comfortable, carefree stay. 
 
When it comes to exploring, walk four minutes to visit São Jorge Castle, or visit the Tagus-facing Praça do Comércio, fifteen minutes away on foot. You’re also a fifteen-minute walk from the Santa Justa Lift, while the Museu do Fado is ten minutes on foot from your door.
