Get set to escape reality and embrace all things Alcântara as you retreat to this modern, centrally-located apartment. This stunning and bright home is situated right next to Lx Factory – the 1846 industrial factory complex which is now, a cultural hub of designers, artists and architects offering events, boutiques and restaurants – the perfect spot to spend your day.

The home itself is defined by tall windows that invite the natural light to sweep through every room, ornate-corniced ceilings, and contemporary soft furnishings, giving the place a sense of modernist charm. The stunning dining room features a large table and a large-scale artwork creating an idyllic environment for intimate dinners with the produce you picked up from the Lx Rural Farmers Market on Sunday. The walled courtyard with adjoining conservatory is a picture of calm, with its cosy chairs, rattan accents and tropical plants – spend afternoons here with the new book you picked up from Ler Devagar, a few steps from your apartment. Minimal and breezy but totally inviting, this place is brought to life by statement light fixtures, graphic throws and thoughtful touches. 

Located so centrally, you have a myriad of cultural options to invest in, as well as a tranquil base from which to explore them all. Spend the day gallery hopping - explore the contemporary works at AINORI art gallery Galeria Ainori (a five-minute walk) and the progressive exhibitions at the cultural institution, MAAT, just a twenty-three-minute walk away.

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.

Taking inspiration from the refreshing spirit of the mountains, the owners have designed this apartment to feel like a calm city sanctuary. Inside, you can listen to records while cooking in the kitchen or catching up on work at the dedicated desk. There is also a private terrace – perfect for evening drinks. It’s worth noting you will need to bring your own essentials, but private parking is included and it’s just a short walk to the nearest amenities. There are also great public transport links – ensuring smooth connections with the centre of Lisbon.

Rooftop Terrace

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

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.

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.

Nice to haves

Cosy and charming, this studio apartment may be compact, but it certainly is comfortable. You'll find it in a historic building that was once owned by the Menezes family, and this heritage is evident with an exposed stone wall and a quaint Juliet balcony overlooking the street and offering a partial view of the Tagus. We love how the combined living/sleeping space is bathed in Portuguese sunlight – our only quibble is the kitchen, which is quite tiny. That said, it gets the job done for breakfasts and light bites, and besides, Lisbon is home to some truly fantastic eateries and delicious local cuisine – we doubt you'll get up to much cooking, anyway.

As for discovering these top-notch eateries, you won't have to travel far. This is one of the most authentic districts in Lisbon, where restaurants are tucked away down steep, cobbled alleyways and cafes flank the bustling squares. You're right in the centre, too, just a seventeen-minute stroll from Praça do Comércio – as far as locales go, you can't really beat it. And, if your feet need a break from all the walking, a handy metro station is also nearby – win, win.

With balcony views like this, it’s hard not to feel like you’ve stumbled on a real gem. This Lisbon home features original walls and flooring, adding an authentic vintage feel to the elegant design and gorgeous views. Filled with natural light, it’s a place where historic Lisbon meets the present-day city. On clear days, overlook the mesmerizing views of the Santos neighbourhood from the balconies (both bedrooms and the living room have their own). Wake up with fresh coffee on the patio set and soak in the terra cotta rooftops of Lisbon. When it’s time to explore, you’ll be in the heart of the São Paulo neighbourhood, surrounded by trendy restaurants, art galleries and cafes. Time Out Market, with its curated selection of the best of Lisbon’s food scene, is a three-minute walk away. And when the sun sets, the vibrant nightlife of Bica and Cais do Sodré areas are within an easy ten-minute walk.  

Tip Top

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

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.

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

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

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

Desk / Workplace

While the city of Lisbon is an explosion of colour down at street level, this apartment is pretty muted when it comes to interior design. The dominant colour palette of svelte greys and neutrals is contemporary in style, as are the sleek furnishings.

This restraint means that the pretty view of Santos from the private balcony really stands out. Straight head you can see treetops around a quiet public square while glancing to the left will give you an uninterrupted view of the River Tagus. 

It must be said that the kitchen is a little rudimentary, but that needn't be a problem if you're planning to get acquainted with Lisbon's culinary scene. There's street food galore in the Time Out Market, only eight minutes' walk from the building, as well as plenty of restaurants along the riverfront. The National Museum of Ancient Art is only a thirteen-minute walk away, too.


Snappy Dresser

This home has a few exquisite architectural features – the original exposed brick wall, French doors, marble details, and other touches that reveal that this home was designed by an architect. The communal areas have a pleasant upscale vibe and excellent natural light, which gives Solar Volto a homey feel, even though this is a full-time rental property. Located on Rua de São José you'll be surrounded by design boutiques and upscale restaurants, making this a perfect stay out for those who appreciate the finer things in life.

Sometimes, you come across somewhere that stands out, even by Plum standards, and this is one of those times. Domingos is a beautifully maintained family home in Lapa, with plenty of space, and even a patio out the back. Make new memories dining alfresco out on the leafy, private terrace – it's the perfect place to unwind after a day exploring Lisbon. Known for its beautiful buildings, picturesque gardens and global embassies, Lapa is a largely residential area and consequently very quiet. Here, you'll be far removed from the tourists and intense crowds of this thriving city, and yet within reach of Baixa. Perhaps most importantly, the emphasis has clearly been on making it comfortable, rather than trying to squeeze people in. Having a separate (and large) living room, dining area, and kitchen makes it feel genuinely welcoming. The vibrant colours and eclectic decor really stand out too. And with the layout of the bedrooms, it would be particularly well suited to a family holiday. 

Domingos

Located in the historic Santos district, this charming apartment brims with typical Lisbon design, style and character. From the wooden beams and floorboards, to the warm lighting and soft furniture, it's the perfect place to relax. The biggest draw is, of course, the large decked terrace, complete with a cosy string lights, an outdoor sofa and dining table. We can think of nothing better than sharing local delicacies and bottles of wine out here, during the balmy summer evenings. 

Stroll over to the Elevador da Bica, instantly connecting you to the entire city, then wander around the trendy Bairro Alto district, filled with art houses, boutiques, cafes and bars. If you’re feeling peckish, you're in luck. The local neighbourhood of Madragoa is well renowned for its gorgeous architecture, traditional taverns and petiscos (tapas) restaurants.

Luxury Bedding

This modern studio flat perfectly suits a solo traveller or a couple wanting to explore Lisbon's vibrant culture and history. It's not the biggest, but it still has everything you need for a fuss-free stay in the capital, including a quaint kitchenette, super comfortable bed and sleek bathroom with a luxe rainfall shower. You can even spot the top of the Basilica da Estrela out the window – a rarity for a ground floor flat. But the best part about this place is the excellent location. Bairro Alto, known as Lisbon's bohemian district, is home to trendy restaurants, lively Fado bars, old-style cafes, art galleries and independent shops. Check out the many beautiful churches sprinkled across this vibrant neighbourhood, or hop on one of the iconic trams and weave your way up into the hills. This is the perfect spot to go exploring – you're only a four-minute walk from Miradouro São Pedro de Alcântara (one of the best viewpoints in the city) and just a twenty-minute stroll from the historic city centre.

Boasting a lively, multicultural atmosphere and plenty of parks, art galleries and eateries, Anjos is widely considered to be the trendiest neighbourhood in Lisbon. It’s also very well-connected, just fifteen minutes from the historic centre by public transport yet tucked away from the tourist hustle and bustle. You’ll find this stylish home here, nestled amidst pastel-hued Pombaline architecture and providing the perfect base for those seeking an authentic slice of the city.  

Inside, it’s a timeless canvas of high ceilings, hardwood floors and floor-to-ceiling French windows, ushering in heaps of natural light. Though compact, the interior is exquisitely renovated and offers all the bells and whistles for a comfortable stay, including a modern kitchen and a cosy mezzanine bedroom. However, the real highlight is undoubtedly the little balcony. Drenched in sunlight and furnished with a table and chairs, it's a lovely spot for alfresco breakfasts in the sun. Spend mornings roosted here, sipping coffee amidst the terracotta-tiled rooftops before a stroll through Eduardo VII Park, just seventeen minutes away on foot.

Bom Bocado

Located in Lisbon's historical Baixa district – well known for its shopping, seafood restaurants and beautiful architecture – this charming apartment welcomes you to explore it all from the heart of the city. Stepping inside, you'll find traditional interiors, where natural materials and modern design meet in perfect harmony. 

You'll love returning to a place to call your own that's steeped in Lisbon's soul and character. From the wood beams and stone walls, the apartment is reassuringly rustic, while the modern furnishings make it a comfortable spot to unwind. Sink into the sofa with a good book, or gather your group in the cosy dining area for a toasty evening in together. 

When it's time to head out, you're just a short walk from Chiado, Bairro Alto, Alfama, the famous Avenida da Liberdade, while various taverns, cafes and bars surround your perfectly placed home.  

Part of History

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.

Enjoy the views of Lisbon's colourful rooftops, the stunning vistas of the famous Tagus River, and the iconic 25 de Abril bridge from this vibrant home's balcony. 

But it's not all about the view – where do we start with the interiors – they are gorgeous. The grey chequered wallpaper of the feature wall in the living room contrasts perfectly with the teal soft furnishings and canary yellow armchairs. This home has plenty of character features, too, such as the ceiling's ornate mouldings. We also have to say that we love the main bedroom with its glamorous chandelier and large en-suite with more wonderful vistas.

When you want to explore Alcantara-Terra station is around a ten-minute walk. The Park of Necessidades is a short stroll away, where you'll find peacocks roaming, duck ponds and a cactus garden, oh yes, and more views over the Tagus River.

Bookworms listen up – this home showcases such a huge amount and vast range of books, you'll absolutely never get bored. With reads in all different languages, you'll be captivated by the vast variety of literature decorating the home. Just remember to leave the apartment every once in a while, because Lisbon is at your doorstep and you're positioned in one of the most central, picturesque and safe neighbourhoods of the city. Stroll just two minutes and you'll arrive at the Amoreiras Garden – a firm favourite hang out spot for the locals. And with charming cafes, street art, trendy second-hand stores and one of Lisbon's best chocolate shops all within walking proximity of your home, you don't have to venture too far to lap up the best parts of Portuguese local living here.

Now, this is how you do city living in Lisbon, folks. Exquisitely designed throughout and boasting an all-too-rare suntrap terrace, who wouldn't be happy in a pad like this.

Sunny mornings call for freshly brewed coffees and Pastel de Natas out on the terrace. Or take things indoors to rustle up something heartier in the made-for-action kitchen area while others crash out in the sophisticated living space or spill out around the dining table –⁠ there's room for you all here.

Over in the bedrooms, the designers have kept the spaces pared-back and contemporary – with just those Portuguese ceramic floor tiles adding a pop of colour and beautifully mirroring the blue skies outside. We'll let you decide who lucks out on that king-size bedroom with en-suite and direct access to the pretty courtyard.

When it's time to explore, the Bairro Alto district is right at your feet. One of the city's most emblematic neighbourhoods, this place has got it all going on. By day, lose yourself to its tangle of lanes discovering old-school cafes for tasty tapas plates and quaint vintage shops. As dusk falls over the city, grab ginjinha cocktails from hole-in-the-wall bars. Then settle down in one of its late-night bistros for authentic tapas, as the Fado folk musicians strike up.

Baby Blue Sky

A real gem of a place, in a great location, this home is perfect if you're here to experience the buzz of city life in Lisbon. Part of a traditional period building, it's been beautifully restored to show off its best features – the living room's three sets of French doors out to the narrow, wrought iron balcony, the window shutters and the exposed parts of the wooden pombolina skeleton structure this area is known for. We love the wood floors and white walls, keeping everything cool and minimalist, while the velvet sofas and house plants make it feel like a real home from home. Here you'll be on the edge of Cais do Sodré and the Bairro Alto, so you’re in the heart of Lisbon’s thriving restaurant and bar scenes, with somewhere different to try within walking distance every night of the week.


Blimunda

With a fantastic location, just a three-minute walk to the picturesque neighbourhood of Bairro Alto, a culinary hotspot, this stylish apartment has a wealth of bars, restaurants and historic architecture right on its doorstep. If you fancy a bit of retail therapy, on the other hand, Chiado with its chic boutiques, is only a ten-minute stroll away. You can even walk to some of the city’s iconic attractions such as Lisbon Cathedral, São Jorge Castle and Miradouro Portas do Sol in under thirty minutes. If you don’t fancy exploring on foot, the famous Tram 28 passes through the district, while the Glória Funicular is just over a five-minute saunter. Or, to get the most out of your trip, let the concierge organise tickets and experiences for you. Back at this modern home – there’s a lot we adore about this place, from the wooden floors and inspirational quotes to the gorgeous bathroom and little windows with cute shutters. The host, Patrícia, has also made a lighting scheme which creates a warm atmosphere – it’s easy to see that she has a love of design. So, relax with a glass of wine at the dining table and enjoy a Portuguese feast. With this home, you can really live like a Lisboeta.

Inspira

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

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.

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.

Miguel used to live in Hunter, and it’s immediately clear that the flat used to be someone’s home. Things like the quality of the mattresses really stand out, as they are often overlooked in rental homes, but that isn’t the case here. The design is, of course, eye-catching – you don’t need us to tell you that – and even if not everyone goes for it, they will go for the views from the balcony. Throw in the fantastic location near in Chiado, and you’re onto a winner.


Hunter

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. 


Birchwood Views

Housed in a cultural heritage building right on Lisbon’s famous Pink Street – named as one of the New York Times’s favourite European streets – this stylish apartment puts you in a prime spot to experience the city’s famous nightlife, as well as its most historic and cultural sights. 
 
Inside, tall corniced ceilings and wood floors make a stately impression, with an earthy-toned contemporary decor that feels both chicly bohemian and wonderfully Portuguese. We love the large arched windows that let in plenty of sunlight, as well as the views of bustling Pink Street below. 
 
The three bedrooms have been elegantly curated with a pared-back aesthetic, while the bathroom with its diamond-pattern marble floors and inviting tub offers a welcoming wake-up each morning. 
 
With a desk on hand too, you’re all set should you need to catch up on work, but with countless things to see and do nearby, we suggest less work and more play. 
 
Head to the Time Out Market – a three-minute walk – to sample some of Lisbon’s best street food, or explore bustling Praça do Comércio, a ten-minute stroll away. You’re also within easy walking distance of the Santa Justa Lift (twelve minutes), Lisbon Cathedral (fifteen minutes) and the labyrinthine Alfama district (twenty minutes) while plenty of bars, restaurants and shops are right on your front step.

Love a little retail therapy? This could be the place for you. Stroll down Avenida da Liberdade, the tree-lined boulevard this home is situated on, and you’re met with an abundance of shops. After a day of sightseeing and shopping, this apartment, perfect for a couple, is a welcome retreat. Comfortable and well-equipped, you’ll find all you need for a relaxing stay in the city. And the cherry on the cake? The communal rooftop pool – just the spot to relax and cool off in the Portuguese heat. 

Lisbon Retreat

Enjoy some of Lisbon’s best views from this split-level penthouse perch. Classic Portuguese windows look out over the shambling terracotta rooftops of the city’s old heart. Throw open the windows in each bedroom and wake up to the sound of the city coming to life. Light floods into the open kitchen and living room where plenty of plush velvet seats await, enough room for the whole group. Dining is casual-style, at the striking burnt-orange breakfast bar with teal velvet stools. On the edge of Chiado, you’re within walking distance of Lisbon’s top sights and experiences. Spend the morning exploring the historic streets of Alfama, packed with ancient churches and museums. Perhaps make the five-minute walk to Baixa in the afternoon and end with an evening in Bairro Alto just beyond. It’s just fifteen minutes back to your apartment from the fado bars and restaurants of Lisbon’s hippest neighbourhood. 

Plates of Gold

Baixa is our favourite place to stay in Lisbon. It's packed with restaurants and cafes, all while being a short walk away from the city sights. Golden Feathers is right in front of a famous tram 28 stop, so there's no excuse for staying in. This is a soft, comfortable home that mixes metallic hues with high-quality materials. While we would like to see a bit more of a personal touch in what is clearly a rental home, it's a great base for urban exploration. 

Golden Feathers

When you stay at this incredible apartment in Lisbon, it's like having your own miradouro – this big and bright home has the most amazing views we've ever seen in Lisbon. You won't find quaint azulejo details and other typical Portuguese touches in this home. Instead, there is an abundance of elegant modern decoration that flows well from one side of the home to the other. It's perfect for a family or group of friends looking for a stylish place to entertain. To top it all off, it's located just a three-minute walk to Bairro Alto, with all of its fantastic restaurants and bars. If you fancy a bit of shopping, on the other hand, Chiado, a ten-minute stroll away, has streets packed with chic boutiques – we love it here.

Bright and inviting, Light of Lights is a homey and stylish apartment in the quiet neighbourhood of Lapa. Personal arty touches such as brightly painted chairs and tiles add pizazz and character, although you’ll probably want to spend most of your time on the two beautiful balconies – they really make this home stand out. As the name suggests, there's no shortage of natural light here, with huge windows and doors to the balconies from the living room, bedroom and even the kitchen.

The neighbourhood is local, friendly and not overly touristy, but close to top attractions such as the Basilica and Tapada das Necessidades, and best of all it has excellent access to the city's famous tram service.

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

Lap up nothing but the sunshine and the River Tagus breeze from your enviable vantage point in Lisbon’s buzzing Bairro Alto. Wake up with breakfast in the bright living space, tucking into Portuguese pastries as terracotta rooftops and yellow and pink buildings glow with a radiance unique to Lisbon. Embrace the city’s easy-going ambience on your terrace. Sit back in the comfy chairs and relax with a freshly squeezed orange juice – or glass of local green wine, perhaps – and lose yourself to a page-turner. Your neighbourhood is a labyrinth of cobbled streets – quiet in the daytime and teeming by the evening, with Lisboetas and tourists alike enjoying Fado musicians and feasting on codfish in traditional tascas. A five-minute walk takes you to the trendy Principe Real area, while a fifteen-minute downhill stroll to the southeast places you right at the waterfront.

Inspiração

Walkability is a home with a clear advantage – staying in the centre of Baixa will give you easy access to all the famous sights, cafes, and restaurants in the area. The architecture is authentic, but the busy atmosphere might not be for those seeking a slice of quiet Portuguese life. Located in a beautifully renovated townhouse, this is a modern home where preserved architectural features mix seamlessly with the eclectic furniture. We loved the natural light in the living room and the urban view from the balconet, as well as the quiet bedroom that guarantees a good night’s sleep.
