Freshly renovated, this beautiful apartment is the kind of Lisbon home we daydream about. In a period building typical of this ancient part of the city, it's been lovingly brought into the 21st century by owners who clearly care about the quality of the finish. The characteristic Pombalina wooden cage of the stone building shows itself in the open-plan living space. Invented after the great earthquake of the 1750s, it's an architectural structure to ensure stability. It also happens to look really cool. You may also spot some other historic features in the home – an old salting trough in one of the bathrooms, a huge stone fireplace in a bedroom and antique recovered tiles made into large panels that adorn the corridors. At the same time, it's a smart, modern home with luxurious furnishings, and an on-trend black and marble kitchen. We love the views over Lisbon's rooftops from the balcony too. When you're ready to explore you'll be a five-minute walk to Praça do Comércio, which opens up to the Tagus river. The stylish neighbourhood of Chiado is a ten-minute walk away, as are the Ribeira Market and Campo das Cebolas.

Poetic Form

Carefully curated, this laidback apartment is brimming with charm. There’s a focus on natural textures – think wood, wicker and linen – with a cool blue, grey and white colour palette. Spend mornings relaxing in the light-filled living space – find the comfiest spot on the couch or take a seat at the dining table with a pastel de nata and a bica (espresso). Open the French doors and step onto the patio for views of terracotta rooftops and that famous Iberian sunshine. And if that wasn’t peaceful enough, your principal bedroom overlooks the Jardim do Torel – it’s often referred to as Lisbon’s hidden garden by the locals. Step out of your building and you’ll find yourself right on the edge of Praça dos Restauradores, one of the city’s most bustling squares. It joins up with the leafy Avenida de Liberdade and places you a fifteen-minute walk from the upscale Príncipe Real neighbourhood – one of our favourite bairros for food and drink. 

The Sunbathers

If browsing stylish boutiques is your bag, then this home in chic Chiado is just the ticket. You'll also find stylish restaurants, and the iconic 1700s Bertrand Bookstore here. It's just a two-minute stroll to Praça Luís de Camões with its statues of Portuguese literary icons, while the National Theatre of São Carlos is five minutes on foot. Other attractions nearby include Lisbon Cathedral, under a twenty-minute walk and the Elevador De Santa Justa, a ten-minute saunter.

Back at this lovely apartment, take in the fabulous views over the River Tagus with a glass of rosé wine – we love the traditional tiles here too. Inside, an array of plants give this place a homely feel. Enjoy a pastel de nata at the dining table or relax on the comfy grey sofa after all that sightseeing. This home is perfect for a couple or friends looking for a sophisticated setting.


Chiado Chic

Laidback and homely, this apartment in the heart of bustling Bairro Alto is the perfect landing pad for a family or group of friends. After a restful snooze in the comfortable bedrooms, come together around the dining table to hash out the day’s plans over a light breakfast, rustled up in your fully-equipped kitchen. Finish the dregs of your coffee on the Juliet balcony then pull on your walking shoes and hit the streets. Follow Calçada do Combro into the heart of Chiado for a spot of shopping and a visit to the Livraria Bertrand – the world’s oldest bookshop. 

Hop on the iconic Tram 28 to Praça do Comércio for unfettered views of the Tagus River. When you’re feeling peckish, fill up on Portuguese fare in the Time Out Market or seek out a traditional tasca for a no-fuss, hearty lunch. 

Anjo da Guarda

The outdoor space at this apartment really caught our eye. Not only do you have private balconies to enjoy an evening glass of wine – albeit while looking out onto neighbouring buildings – but there’s also a rooftop terrace where you can soak up views of the River Tagus and beyond. If you can tear yourself away from the sun-kissed terraces, inside, you’ll find a comfortable space for four people. In the city for work? There’s even a private desk area in one bedroom, so remote working’s a breeze. 

Ode To A City

Among Lisbon's pastel-coloured buildings and cobbled alleyways, this charming studio apartment provides a cosy base from which to explore Portugal's vibrant capital. You'll find this home right next to the LxFactory, – an industrial complex housing an array of arty retailers and quirky restaurants. If you enjoy a little retail therapy, this is a must-visit, showcasing everything from hand-crafted jewellery to paintings and homeware. 

The weekend is when this area really comes to life. Head out for some delicious food and a few drinks at one of the local bars, then return home to sit on one of the hone's two terraces and listen to live music coming from below with a bottle of wine. Though petite, this apartment is the perfect place to catch a sunset and soak up the lively atmosphere of this cinematic city.

Crafted Over Centuries 

Located next door to the historic Rossio Square and providing a view of the Column of Pedro IV from the balcony, this apartment will put you right in the heart of the action in Lisbon. Here, you'll be within easy reach of the Carmo Convent, as well as a short stroll from the city’s historic harbour. The apartment is unique in its décor, with classy furniture and décor combined together with modern artwork and contemporary lighting to make it feel quaint yet trendy. There’s even a little leafy courtyard here, where you can sip your morning coffee while listening to the city wake up around you.

The Beat

Sitting just a three-minute walk from lively Pink Street and a stone’s throw from the Douro River, this design-focused apartment offers a stylish stay in Lisbon’s cultural and historic heart. 
 
It’s hard to choose our favourite feature here – from the living room’s curved bubble sofa to the leaf-print walls and the grand dining table with its jewel-tone velvet seats, there’s an air of modern sophistication here that reflects the city’s eclecticism. Ample natural light pours in through the living area’s arched French doors that give way to pretty Juliet balconies with views of the street below. Perch here with your evening glass of Portuguese wine when you’re not out sampling Pink Street’s famous nightlife, and end the night with a deliciously comfortable sleep in the blue and green bedrooms. Factor in the pair of bathrooms with their relaxing rainfall showers, and you’ve got everything you need for a blissful stay. 
 
When it comes to sightseeing, discover Pink Street’s many bars and eateries nearby, or make a beeline for Praça do Comércio, a ten-minute walk away. You’re also a six-minute stroll from the popular Time Out Market, a ten-minute walk from the Santa Justa Lift, and the Alfama district is twenty minutes away on foot. With the iconic Tram 28 passing by just 100 metres from your door too, the city is yours for the taking. 


Pink Echoes

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

Settle into a pet-friendly apartment in Avenidas Novas, where restaurants are dotted between the nearby bus stops for easy adventuring across Lisbon. There's a scenic park within strolling distance, plus the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum. We love how much room this interior gives groups of four. While the lack of air conditioning may be a dealbreaker to some, it's a cosy spot for itinerary planning over breakfast. Have work to do? We're sure you'll fly through your tasks at the bedroom desk.

Glimpse Of Spring

Between Estrela and the river in Lisbon, you'll find this home's location, the Lapa district. It's a peaceful residential area with some charming attractions, such as the Basilica da Estrela and the neoclassical Assembleia da República. Or head to the nearby Museu da Marioneta, a museum of Portuguese puppetry housed in the Convent of Bernardas. There are plenty of eateries to enjoy in the locale too.

Or head back to this stylish home and cook up some Piri Piri chicken. Then relax on the small balcony with a glass of wine. The living space, with its multiple windows, is bathed in light. We particularly love the main bedroom with its original shutters and French doors that open onto a Juliet balcony.


Lapa It Up

This charming apartment lies in a central spot in Lisbon's vibrant neighbourhood of Alcântara. Pets are welcome, and with a well-equipped kitchen, a dedicated workspace and a free parking space, this home is ideal for all types of trips. The location means you might hear some outside noise during your stay, so we recommend packing some earplugs. That said though, you'll have the city right at your fingertips whether you're driving or not, with public transport close by and several restaurants right on your doorstep.
