In this Baixa location – also known as Pombalina Downtown – it’s no surprise that you can find some of the finest examples of traditional architecture in the city. Of course, this apartment is no exception. Only a four-minute walk to Lisbon Cathedral, and six to the bustling, harbour-facing square, Praça do Comércio, this renovated building is no less impressive than its local surroundings. We love the care and attention to detail that has gone into this apartment, which retains the building's original architectural features, as well as reusing debris from historic earthquakes. The beautiful timber structures that you’ll notice right away in the lounge are typical of the pombalina style and practicalities. Some antique tiles, recovered from the 1755 disaster, have been made into panels that adorn the corridors. It's not all about the history here though – there are plenty of modern touches too. You’ll have an array of contemporary art to peruse, as well as Bluetooth speakers and a sleek, charcoal-coloured kitchen. After exploring every corner of this elegant home, pour a glass of vinho verde and take in the views from the French doors of the ornate Juliet balcony.

Poetry in Motion

Conveniently situated on the number 28 tram line, between the neighbourhoods of Baixa and Alfama, this apartment has Lisbon’s best-loved sights within easy reach. The Sé de Lisboa is just around the corner and the São Jorge Castle is a short (uphill) walk away. The home itself is a comfortable crash pad, though there are a few signs of wear and tear and there’s not much natural light in one of the bedrooms. The kitchen, however, is fully equipped, and your host leaves a small welcome gift, which we think is a nice touch.

Cocoa & Coffee

Although it's nestled in the heart of beautiful Bairro Alto, the surrounding narrow streets have a quiet and distinctly village-like feel where locals know each other and the streets are filled with coffee shops, concept stores, restaurants and art galleries. By night, it's a whole other story – the neighbourhood fills with people and the streets become outdoor extensions of the many bars in the area. Your home will be a lovely peaceful spot that’s still near all the action – trendy Chiado is just an eight-minute walk away. Our favourite spot of the apartment has got to be the southwest-facing balcony – it’s narrow but long, and offers up incredible views of the River Tagus and the 25th April Bridge at sunset. Bring your evening aperitif outside as you watch the sky’s colours change, or enjoy your morning coffees out here as day settles over the city. The inside of the house is extremely welcoming – there’s a large marble dining table for meals all together and a bright, stylish living room that’s been dynamically designed. At the end of a long day, wash up in the roomy bathrooms before settling in the bedrooms, where you’ll rest easy in anticipation of another beautiful Lisbon day tomorrow. 

The Bowie

Where do we start with this stylish home – let's begin with the location. This apartment has a fabulous address – walk to Rossio Square, also known as King Pedro IV Square, in just three minutes. Even closer is the Dona Maria II National Theatre, a two-minute saunter, while the Santa Justa Elevator is five minutes on foot. St. George's Castle, which you also have glimpses of from this home, is a twenty-minute stroll.

Back at this apartment, relax on the sofa and take in the vistas of Downtown Lisbon. We love the herringbone-patterned wood floors and chic black and white prints in the living space. Rustle up a cozido à Portuguesa in the modern kitchen if you don't feel like eating out. This place is the ideal bolthole for two couples, a family or business professionals.



King Pedro

Housed in a historic building in Lisbon’s peaceful, hilly Lapa neighbourhood, this bright apartment is the ideal base for those looking to experience a more local side of the city. Inside, wood floors, corniced ceilings and French doors leading onto a Juliet balcony create an elegant first impression, while the laid-back bohemian furnishings make you instantly feel welcome and relaxed. We love the sunny dining area here, perfect for starting mornings off over breakfast as the breeze flows through the doors, and the cosy kitchen area with its blackboard wall. The bedrooms feel soothing in their neutral, natural tones, while the large windows give way to views of the Tagus River and the city's emblematic red rooftops. . When you’re not relaxing at home, go out and explore your surroundings. You’re just a ten-minute walk from the beautiful Estrela Gardens, while a twenty-minute stroll will take you to the famous Time Out Market Lisboa. You’re also just a twenty-minute walk from the bohemian Bairro Alto district, where cobblestone streets house centuries-old houses, vivid street art and traditional Fado bars that wait to be discovered. 


Lapa Up The Views

In the Baixa-Chiado district, you’ll be spending a lot of your time around fine seafood restaurants, classy boutiques, and 18th-century architecture. After strolling down the famed Avenida da Liberdade, ending up at the striking ruins of the Convento do Carmo, you don’t need to travel far to see the sights. This apartment is just a six-minute walk from the medieval convent, as well as every shop and cocktail bar you could need.

Similar to its locale, this home takes influence from a diverse mix of styles and centuries. Traditional Portuguese design concepts like high ceilings and bright balconies with French doors are a must, but there are also touches of Saharan style in the decor.

Admire these interiors with some ambient music on the record player, before settling on the sofa, relaxing in the neutral colour scheme of creams and greys. And this zen vibe works well alongside the other dominant organic feature – marble. We love how this elegant resource creates a luxury feel in the kitchen and both bathrooms (especially when you’re soaking in the gorgeous en-suite bathtub, a glass of douro in hand). 

O Mármore

This beautifully bright apartment between Lisbon's Chiado and Alfama neighbourhoods has it all – a great location and a blend of modern styling and character features. Summing up this historic part of Lisbon perfectly, it's in a typical Pombalina building – freshly renovated with impeccable attention to detail. If local period architecture is of interest to you, you'll love the high, ornately decorated ceilings, the tall windows and the traditional narrow balcony with wrought iron railings. And it's not too hard to spot the building's defining feature – the Pombalina wooden cage built in to strengthen the stone buildings after the great earthquake of the 1750s. Bright and smartly designed, this charming home has been reimagined for the 21st century, with a cool black kitchen, mid-century modern furniture and tasteful wall art. Comfortable and welcoming, you'll spend your mornings sipping coffee, watching the street come to life from your balcony. The two bedrooms are pared-back yet elegantly dressed, while the two spa-like bathrooms with their rainfall showers are a treat to wake up to each morning. Outside of your home, both the Santa Justa Lift and Praça do Comércio are a seven-minute walk away, São Jorge Castle is walkable in eight and Lisbon Cathedral is a mere three minutes on foot from your door. With the Mercado da Baixa a six-minute stroll away too for fresh produce as well as countless restaurants, shops and bars in your neighbourhood, you've got everything you need for a fun, culture-filled stay. 

Bigode Chique

This home feels comfortable, high-end, and characterful. It’s hard to ask for more, but we picked it apart and here’s what we found. The Handhake's baren bones are great – this home is located inside a renovated Baixa townhouse, which has high ceilings and French windows as standard, but the host didn’t rely solely on that. There are a few nice pieces of art in here, notably the statuettes and the mirrors in the bedroom, which give it a modern look.

The Handshake

Compact but cosy, this central apartment is a great base for exploring Lisbon. The balcony is a sweet bonus – not to mention the perfect spot to enjoy a cup of coffee and a pastel de nata before setting off. Since it's on the third floor without a lift, this home won't suit guests who struggle with stairs. One bedroom is smaller than the other – it's a good option for kids – and the kitchen lacks an oven, so dining out will likely be on the cards. Even so, you've got a wealth of options nearby, plus you're walking distance from attractions like Praça do Comércio (twenty minutes away), Santa Justa Lift (fifteen minutes) and the Tram 28.

Dias de Amor

This fantastic home is located in Bairro Alto, with all of its fantastic restaurants and bars. If you fancy a bit of shopping, Chiado is a ten-minute stroll away – its streets are packed with chic boutiques, interesting bookshops and literary cafes. Take some snaps of the beautiful Lisbon Cathedral, a twenty-minute walk from this home, or explore São Jorge Castle, a twelve-minute saunter. Time Out Market, on the other hand, is just over ten minutes on foot – browse its shops and market vendors selling fresh food and flowers. You’ll also find over twenty restaurants and stylish music venues here (your host can make dinner reservations for you). If you don’t want to eat out, cook some local Portuguese produce from the market in the sleek kitchen – we adore this bright, open-plan space – there's a splendid socially conducive atmosphere here. This place has been playfully and expertly designed by your lovely host Patrícia. Thanks to the high-quality furniture and materials, this home looks and feels amazing – once you stay, you won't want to leave.

Inspiradora

A lively location, a characterful living space, and stunning views? This pad in the heart of historic Chiado has all that and more, including marbled bathrooms, stylish bedrooms, a fully-stocked kitchen and plenty of space for groups to spread out. The sumptuous L-shaped sofa is enormous – it's perfect for movie nights, afternoon siestas or unwinding with a glass of wine (your host leaves a bottle for you to enjoy), and we loved the eclectic decorations brought back from the host's travels. That said, the star of the show here is the incredible view. From the small balcony and big windows, you can spot the Carmo Convent, Tagus River and even Castelo de S. Jorge in the distance. It'll be hard to pull yourself away from the scenery, but when you decide to venture out, this area is as central as it gets. You're right on the cusp of vibrant Bairro Alto, home to trendy nightlife and bars, but you're also within walking distance to all the must-see sights. Plus, the nearest metro stop is a three-minute walk away.
