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

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.

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

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

The bustling, boho neighbourhood of Bairro Alto offers an array of drinking and dining spots to keep you entertained after dark. But while it’s well known for its night scene, its independent shops, cafés, and bakeries will keep you busy on warm afternoons. As well as local delights, you can also easily reach the city’s iconic sights. From this apartment, visit the neo-gothic Santa Justa Lift in eleven minutes, or reach Lisbon’s historic cathedral in under twenty.

Although you might be focused on visiting every corner of this colourful city, colour really does begin at home. The bright blue exterior of your building stands out against the pink hues of neighbouring apartments, but matches the sunny skies above. And inside, the azure theme goes on beneath your feet. Gorgeous, blue-tiled floors feature throughout the home, creating a relaxed atmosphere with a nod to the nearby River Tagus.

While the furniture and decor offer a minimal Scandi vibe, complete with wicker and wooden elements, your host’s extra offering is anything but minimal. Airport pickup, private chefs, spa treatments, culinary experiences, and city tours are just some of the luxe services your host will be happy to help with.

Blue Glaze

Single-Level Home

This flat sits in an authentic, azulejo-tiled building on a quiet street just off of Avenida da Liberdade, Lisbon's main boulevard. You’ll be walking distance from a host of attractions – fifteen minutes from Convento do Carmen, fifteen from the Botanical Gardens and eighteen from the trendy Barrio Alto. Returning home, you’ll find original stone arches and tasteful vintage furnishings in the lobby that perfectly match the exterior traditional setting. Inside, stone accents bring the same authenticity to the living space, while bright pops of colour add a touch of warmth and cosiness to the home. Sit back on the sofa, gather around the table for a meal or take a luxurious soak in the marble bathroom – with its brilliant location and thoughtful interior, this is a great choice for newbies and oldies to the city.

Just a two-minute walk from Lisbon’s beautiful Praça das Flores, this home in the heart of Principe Real is an ideal base for those looking for a truly relaxing city stay. Showing off its traditional Portuguese style, this bright apartment’s main room is full of Azulejo details, while the bedrooms are light and full of charm with their floral decor and large view-giving windows. Speaking of views, step out onto the large private terrace where a table, chairs and sun loungers wait to host sunny alfresco breakfasts and evening drinks while you watch the sunset over Lisbon’s emblematic red rooftops. When you’re busy soaking up the personalised comfort of your beautiful home, go out and explore your surroundings. Bairro Alto’s cobbled streets lined with hip restaurants and Fado bars are ten minutes away on foot, the Carmo Convent is a fifteen-minute stroll away and the Time Out Market is a twenty-minute walk from your door. The Alfama, too, is easily reachable on foot in just thirty minutes where the São Jorge Castle waits to be discovered. Factor in the Tagus cruises, surf lessons, helicopter flights, wine tours and at-home massages your host is happy to organise for you, and you’ll soon see why this home provides the perfect, blissful break.

This slick, multi-level apartment sits in cool and central Príncipe Real. Inside is characterful, warm, and welcoming. We’re talking hardwood floors, walls filled with bold prints in artfully mismatched frames, sleek leather sofas, and beds that wouldn’t be out of place in a high-end hotel. The kitchen has everything you would need if you weren’t dining out in one of the gazillion acclaimed restaurants that Lisbon is famous for. Get the coffee maker on and wake up leisurely, and if you can, claim the master bedroom that comes with its own balcony and city views. We love the elevated touches in this home, like the HD projector you can plug your laptop into for film night on the mezzanine. Get your favourite tunes on the sound system for a summer soundtrack to pre-dinner drinks. Explore the city on your doorstep - potter around the nearby antique shops and independent boutiques. Pick up an iconic Portuguese custard tart on your way to the nearby subway station Baixa-Chiado and explore further afield. This area is friendly, relaxed, and cool - you'll be feeling like a local in no time.

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

In this upscale neighbourhood full of traditional tilework and colourful buildings, Príncipe Real has become synonymous with Lisbon’s art movement and the LGBT community over the years. You can expect to find striking nineteenth-century architecture next to vibrant cafés, galleries, museums, and bars. Hidden away on a quiet street in the heart of this district, just over a kilometre away from attractions like the Santa Justa lift and Convento do Carmo, this apartment is as bright and beautiful as its surroundings. In this funky salmon-pink building, head upstairs and into your living space, where we love the exposed brick and wooden floors alongside white, minimalist furnishings. It feels fresh and modern – the perfect setting to unwind in after exploring the colourful and exciting locale. Each sumptuous bedroom has been thoughtfully designed with plush fabrics and subtle artwork to ensure you get the rest you need to take on the day ahead. But if you’re the going-out type, you’re only a fourteen-minute walk from Bairro Alto, a popular area for late-night spots in the Portuguese capital. Thankfully, you can return to the serenity of your home-away-from-home after a busy evening.

Gaivota

Located along Lisbon's vibrant Avenida da Liberdade, renowned for its designer shopping and excellent restaurants, this stylish apartment welcomes you to experience the city in style. You're just a short twelve-minute walk from Convento do Carmo and a twenty-four-minute stroll from São Jorge Castle. 

It's a bright and breezy living space with heaps of abundant natural light pouring in throughout the day, thanks to the floor-to-ceiling windows that frame calming green views. Return from a culture-packed afternoon of sightseeing and sprawl out on the plump sofa with a glass of Rioja, immediately noticing the tranquil atmosphere of your modern pad. 

The sleek, open kitchen and dining area mean you can prepare a few traditional dishes to accompany your aperitivo while keeping up with the conversation and customary card games. There's plenty of room for inviting guests over, without feeling on top of each other. Later on, head out for dinner in lively Baixa, where fantastic eateries and hidden wine bars await, just eleven minutes away on foot. 

Sofa Wine

This home is a  paradise for shoppers – it's situated just off the tree-lined Avenida da Liberdade, famous as one of the most expensive shopping streets in Europe with its designer stores such as Cartier and Prada. For a wealth of bars, restaurants and historic architecture, take a fifteen-minute stroll to the picturesque neighbourhood of Bairro Alto. Or head to Praça do Comércio with its harbour-facing square, a twenty-minute stroll away. The immediate area isn't super touristy but feels more authentic and quiet, which is something we always like. Back at this stylish apartment, take a seat on the comfy sofa and rest your feet after all that retail therapy or get some fresh air on the balcony. This place has everything you need for a comfortable stay –  we particularly love the vintage furniture scattered throughout the house, as well as the gorgeous marble-style bathrooms. With this home, you can really live like a Lisboeta.

Umbrellas

Tucked away inside a typical Lisbon townhouse, this cute and characterful space is a delightful surprise. With a wooden Pombaline frame that transforms the communal area into a library, this home is an excellent option for an avid reader – the outdoor balcony will win over the rest with gorgeous views of the nearby botanical garden. While most visitors flock to the likes of Alfama and Bairro Alto, this stunning apartment is located in the heart of Principe Real. Admittedly, it's further away from the historical city centre, but its pastel-coloured mansion apartments and wide boulevards provide it with a charm all of its own. You'll find the enchanting ten-acre Jardim Botânico de Lisboa and the lush Jardim do Príncipe Real within a five-minute walk. While your capable kitchen can handle anything you can throw at/over it, you're spoiled for choice when it comes to local eateries – it's a veritable foodie heaven. Choose to chow down at A Cevicheria, where you can indulge in a light and zesty menu of citrus-cured fish and mouth-puckering pisco sours. Alternatively, Atalho Real plates up melt-in-the-mouth meat in a relaxed environment. Once you've eaten your fill, there's a tempting choice of local bars where you can keep the party going – Pavilhão Chinês serves imaginative long drinks in an old grocery store packed with flea market finds and bric-a-brac. At the same time, cult favourite Foxtrot might be reminiscent of a good old British pub, but the creative cocktail menu promises so much more.

Nestled in a quiet residential street in Príncipe Real, Afterglow is a great option for visitors wanting to be somewhere central but with a peaceful, calm atmosphere. The living room is open to the kitchen and dining room and gets great natural light. We loved the views you get over the city’s rooftops – but take note, the view is earned by walking up a steep street. The apartment is comfortable and it’s in great condition, making it a lovely place to come back to after a long day of pounding the pavement. 


Afterglow

The streets surrounding this apartment are part of Principe Real – one of the trendiest neighbourhoods in Lisbon, where new cafes crop up almost every month alongside organic markets and original clothing boutiques. Thanks to the hilltop location, this split-level home has incredible views over the Tagus River and the city's varied architecture, and the best spot to take it all in is from the balcony. Just grab a bottle of wine (your host generously leaves one for you) and take your front-row seat to gorgeous sunsets over the rooftops. When you're in the mood to cook, the kitchen has everything you need – there's also a produce market held on Saturdays in the park nearby to stock up on fresh produce. Downstairs is relaxed and cosy, with pops of bright reds and a clean, contemporary living space that's an excellent place to hang out after a busy day. We think this apartment is a great match for a family or friend group that want a vibrant locale, excellent views and easy access to transport links.

Larousse is quite a particular home with a unique structure that's hard to find in Lisbon.  The modern minimalist furniture works well with the traditional bare bones of this typical townhouse, creating a pleasant communal area that includes a sociable kitchen. The second bedroom is located on the mezzanine and it isn't well separated from the communal area – it will only suit those who can get up the steep stairs and appreciate the open space. But you'll get to enjoy a great view and a location that will get you close to the sights and the best shops in town. 

Larousse

It's impossible to talk about Evaristo's Cauldron without first mentioning the lovely host Susana, who lives in the same building and treats all guests as if they were old friends. Located in Principe Real, this home is close to all central attractions, but the immediate surroundings are fairly quiet. Even though this home is located in an old building, both the exterior and interior are impeccable. Evaristo's Cauldron preserves traditional Portuguese architectural features while ensuring that this home is comfortable, functional, and designed with a mixture of old and new chic. 

Evaristo's Cauldron

Located in the stylish Príncipe Real bairro of Lisbon, walking distance from the quaint shaded Praça das Flores, this top floor apartment has some of the best views Lisbon has to offer. The interiors are traditional yet fully updated, with abstract art and framed Joan Miró prints adding a contemporary edge. But it’s the balconies that really make this home. As soon as you wake up, settle into the sight of the terracotta rooftops and iconic Abril de 25 Bridge washed in the morning’s soft yellow light—it’s really quite something. Better still, there’s another small outside space at the rear of the property so you’ll never have to miss a second of the Iberian sunshine. Your neighbourhood is renowned for its selection of trendy restaurants, bars and gelaterias. Plus, Lisbon’s charming trams operate in the area, with a stop a five-minute walk away, so you’re easily connected with the rest of the city.

Views Over Breakfast

Housed in a traditional Pombaline-style building, this sunny spot in Principe Real is perfect for those exploring the city. Uncover the boutiques, bars and art galleries of neighbouring Bairro Alto, less than a fifteen minutes' walk away or go for a cultural day trip to Sao Jorge Castle, only a half-hour wander from your door. Back inside, you'll find modern and clean interiors with comfy furnishings that hark back to Portugal's historic roots, creating a cosy and homely feel from the get-go. Continue socialising over a glass of red as you cook for your guests in the open kitchen-dining area, benefitting from marble surfaces, artist lighting and stylish chairs. The home's warm colour palette (think red, orange and yellow) makes for a friendly living space where you'll enjoy relaxing after a day spent discovering this thriving city. Of course, with Lisbon's glorious climate, you'd be amiss not to have your own private balcony where you can soak up the sunshine, sip your morning espresso and watch the world go by below – so, naturally, there's a wrap-around terrace at the front and another balcony at the back of the apartment.

This sunny home is in a quiet residential area of Lisbon. It's perfect for those who want to relax after spending the day exploring the city. Within walking distance are small groceries, cafes, and the tram, which will quickly take you into the centre of town. The beautiful Jardim da Estrela is close by too – a garden where you can picnic beneath the shade of the trees in the summer. We'd recommend paying a visit to the Praça das Flores where you can buy drinks and pastries. Though when the weather is good, you might prefer simply spending time sipping a glass of wine on the balcony. It's the crowning jewel of this apartment, perfect for both your morning coffee and an evening nightcap under the stars.

Shooting Stars

The streets between Jardim do Princípe Real and Avenida da Liberdade are far from touristy – the houses are populated with real Lisbon residents, who go about the business between small shops and cafes. Rainy Night is located inside a typical Portuguese townhouse, albeit one that looks a bit more scruffy on the outside – unlike the apartment. The home has a lovely view and lots of natural light, with a simple, functional design that doesn't clutter. We particularly liked the French doors and the wooden headboard in the master bedroom.

Rainy Night

Barrio Alto’s vibrant array of restaurants, independent shops, cafés, and bars makes it one of Lisbon’s best spots for day and night. Set over a series of hills, the area might sometimes feel challenging to explore – but always worth it for a striking view. Or to make things a bit easier, you can admire the city from your own rooftop home, or the Santa Justa Lift, only eleven minutes away.

In this peaceful street, you’ll find traditional architecture and exteriors with famous Portuguese tiles and colourful facades. Your apartment building is covered in glazed blue tiles, matching beautifully with the clear blue skies. Inside, blue is a continual theme, but this time for flooring. Glide across these tiles as you admire modern, understated furniture in the living space, with woven and wicker elements completing this relaxed feel. And it’s all illuminated by sunlight streaming in through huge, sliding doors.

Follow the light to your private outdoor terrace, where you can sit every morning with your espresso alongside terracotta rooftops. But when the afternoon sun heats up, take shade under the parasol with a glass of douro in hand.

Blue Footprints

This home is a peaceful city oasis, perfect for those who want to escape the city noise. Furnished with a love for rustic elegance, it gives off a sense of fairytale glamour. Most of the furniture has been hand-picked and brought over from Indonesia by the host in search if the perfect textural patterns, giving this home a harmonious vibe in every room. While we loved the hand-carved details and the woodwork in the living room, our favourite is the traditionally paved terrace – perfect for lazy afternoon lunches. 

Fay Well

A mixture of rustic chic and fairytale glamour, this home is a peaceful oasis for those who want to avoid the hustle and bustle of central Lisbon but still stay within reach of the sights. Most of the furniture has been imported from Indonesia by the discerning hosts, and we think you'll love the intricate textures and soothing colour scheme. The patio, complete with a small plunge pool, is a quiet, sunny spot ideal for quick breakfasts and long, lazy lunches. You'll find Rato Metro stop just a minute's walk away, meaning it's easy to whizz into the centre of the city. The popular neighbourhood of Bairro Alto is just a ten-minute walk away too, with its famous steep streets and bohemian flair. 

Fay Garden

Fireplace

Beautifully decorated and centrally located, this Lisbon apartment has a lot to offer. It’s great for remote workers, with a dedicated office that’s separate from the living and sleeping areas. The well-equipped kitchen and cosy decor also make this a wonderful choice for a long-term stay – you can even bring your pet. The balcony is a lovely touch, too. The views are slightly blocked by a tree, but you can always take in the quintessential Lisbon street views from the living area’s Juliet balcony. In terms of location, Avenida Liberdade and its shops, restaurants, and cafes, is close to your base in Santo António, and a stroll through Parque Eduardo VII is a must.

Le Problème

You can tell most of this furniture was selected with care – Pedro went all the way to Indonesia to achieve the fairytale glamour look of this home. Thanks to the exposed brickwork and vaulted ceilings, you can still see what this home looked like before the rustic transformation. The attention to detail in this home is excellent – hand-crafted bed frames and mirrors in unexpected colours help create a pleasant earthy atmosphere. Although The Fay Terrace is a small home, it has a large, traditionally paved terrace, perfect for afternoon lunches. 

Fay Terrace

In the hills of Bairro Alto, this region's steep inclines make for a well-deserved view at the top. On the way up, you’ll also find cobbled streets full of restaurants, independent boutiques, and cafés. And as this bohemian area comes particularly alive after dark, this apartment is perfectly located just two minutes from the drinking and dining spots of bustling Rua da Rosa.

But unlike some of the pink streets nearby, the facade of this home is distinctly blue. In fact, this theme continues inside too. Blue floor tiles throughout the apartment are there to remind you of the azure waters of the River Tagus. Natural wicker furniture and woven rugs replicate the sandy shores of Portugal’s many gorgeous beaches. While the decor creates a calm and down-to-earth feel throughout this bright home, your host offers an altogether more luxury experience.

They can arrange for an in-house chef, spa treatment, and have fresh breakfast delivered to your door every morning. Or if you fancy taking up a private city tour, they can send a babysitter to look after the little ones while you hit the town.

Boho Blue

The host has made it their goal to create the epitome of fairytale glamour. His quest to find the best furniture for the job has taken him all the way to Indonesia, which is where most of the hand-carved pieces have come from – from the wood slice coffee table to the bedroom doors. This home doesn't get as much light as it deserves, but it's illuminated with well-placed lights in every room. The stone-paved terrace with a little pool is our favourite part of this home, perfect for late afternoon cocktails. 

Fay Basin

Set on a typical cobbled street, full of restaurants and cafes, and close to the luxurious Avenida da Liberdade, this traditional home can be found in a historic building. Freshly renovated and flooded with natural light, it's a cheerful space that's perfectly located for those wanting to explore Lisbon like a local. The pine floor is bright and comforting, while the large, open-plan living space has several big windows and two sets of doors opening to a narrow balcony that overlooks Jardim do Torrel – perfect for an afternoon walk. The kitchen isn't huge but it's well-equipped and there's a pretty dining table for evenings in. An apartment on two levels, a modern staircase leads up to the bedrooms in the eaves (we love the big master bedroom). Just a few steps from probably the most desirable avenue in the city, it's easy to get around from here too – it runs from the heart of the city centre to the Marquês de Pombal square.

The Great Wave

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.

Sapphire Plush

It starts with the four-poster bed – the feeling that nothing in this home has been left to chance. The host has gone all the way to Indonesia in search of the perfect furniture to create the look of fairytale glamour that fits perfectly into this home. The lower floor of this home doesn't get a lot of natural light, but we liked its original features, such as the original beams in the ceiling and the stone-paved terrace, perfect for afternoon relaxation. 

Fay Alcove

Balcony / Patio

Areca is around the corner from Praça da Alegria, which is a nice square to sit and have a drink, and only a block away from Avenida da Liberdade – Lisbon's prime shopping destination. This home is consistently designed with a mixture of boho luxe and elegance, which mostly comes out in the intricately corniced ceiling and the sophisticated breakfast bar. The bedrooms don't get a lot of natural light, but they're cosy and quiet, which is key to a good night's rest. 

Areca

Record Player

Nestled within the tree-lined streets of Santo Antonio, this apartment offers the best of city living and coastal retreat. Taking inspiration from New Mexico and Morocco, the interior balances earthy tones, natural textures, and artisan features – it’s a city oasis. And whether you’re here with a culturally-packed itinerary, on a business excursion, or for a spontaneous city break, this is the kind of home that suits the needs of the most discerning traveller. 

The open-concept living area is swathed in natural textures, rattan and wicker furnishings, and bespoke artworks. Open up the floor-to-ceiling windows as you fire off some project notes at your sleek desk before sharing pastéis de nata on the Juliet balcony. This is a tranquil space, with a plump sofa for sharing sangria and conversation and a stunning wooden dining table for enjoying memorable dinners under the ambient pendant lights. You’ll find the vinyl record player sets the tone for special gatherings, while the sanctuary-like bedrooms invite you into restful slumbers.  

When you’re ready to explore, the city’s cultural and culinary highlights are all within walking distance. From ambling the gardens and cafes along Avenida Liberdade, perusing the independent boutiques and sipping cocktails in Principe Real to tropical delights at the Botanical Garden of Lisbon, this is an idyllic setting to experience the city.

Earth Circle

With its open-plan kitchen and monstrous SMEG cooker boasting eight hobs, this property is perfectly equipped for anyone who loves to cook. Its private garden with outdoor dining area, which can seat fourteen, makes this basement flat ideal for dinner parties. Anyone who loves a long hot shower, be warned – the water pressure isn’t as strong as we’d like. This is made up for by its convenient location, just a five-minute ride on public transport into the city centre.

Diamonds in the Sky

Ideally based in Campo de Ourique, just outside the upscale neighbourhood of Príncipe Real, this boho-chic apartment is ideal for those who want to live like a Lisbon local during their stay in this fun-filled city. Here, you'll be within easy reach of some great sightseeing spots, such as the striking Santa Justa Lift and the beautiful Botanical Garden of Lisbon. This abode also boasts a roomy balcony, ideal for sipping drinks at sunset and gazing down on the vibrant streets of Lisbon below. 

The Beauty of Terrace

Artfully designed to make the most out of Lisbon’s dazzling light and stunning skyline, this home in the city’s upscale Príncipe Real district is an ideal base for those looking for a stylish, central stay. Located on the top floor, you’ll immediately be wowed by the large windows and skylight that fill the open-plan living space in natural light. Kick back on the sofa with a glass of wine while a record plays or snuggle up by the fireplace on cooler evenings while watching the stars twinkle through the large panes above you. Breakfasts call for fresh coffee and pastéis de nata in the bright dining area while feasting on views of the Tagus River and the famous Cristo Rei statue in the distance, while the private balcony beckons cocktails in the fresh air as the sun sets over Lisbon’s red rooftops. With a desk space to catch up on work as well as two chic bedrooms (we’re particularly fond of the main bedroom’s reading nook), you’ve got everything you need for a comfortable, memorable stay. Outside of your home, your Príncipe Real neighbourhood is packed with 19th-century mansions, hip bars, fashionable shops, small art galleries and antique shops, while the Santa Justa Lift is a fifteen-minute walk away. You’re also just a three-minute stroll from the Botanical Garden of Lisbon and ​​Avenida da Liberdade is twelve minutes on foot from your door. 


Tejo Twilight

Rua São José is an old cobblestone street, full of traditional restaurants and cafes – but just around the corner, an avenue full of designer boutiques awaits an eager shopper. Solar Field fits wonderfully into this mixture of old and modern, with well-preserved architectural elements and sleek furniture. Eighteenth-century-style landscape scenes on the walls will help warm you up ahead of the cultural attractions in the old city centre, while the big marble bath will help you relax after a long day of exploration.
