Consider yourself a sporty type? You'll have access to a nearby tennis court and golf course, too. Lisbon is a thirty-five-minute drive away and ideal for a day trip. That said, with the beautiful beaches of Costa da Caparica five minutes by car, we reckon most of your time will be spent on the sand.

Nestled amidst an abundance of leafy green nature, this architecturally modern and unique home juxtaposes beautifully in contrast with its nature-filled habitat. With tons of personality and intriguing quirks throughout, one of the first things you'll notice is the huge circular window at the heart of the home. It features like a piece of artwork at the centre of the main living area, framing your beautiful surroundings and allowing you to gaze out over the golf course and peaceful pinewood forest.

Clean lines and contemporary designs style every room with warmth and harmony across the home, creating a truly comfortable space to relax between excursions and exploring the local area. 

There is a particular emphasis on the art of leisure here, as the host supplies bicycles, surfboards, tennis rackets, and tennis balls for guests to enjoy when lapping up the picturesque locale. Golfers and surfers will be thrilled with the home's close proximity to course and coast alike – you’ll be amazed to find that the home’s garden is actually set on the green of Aroeira Golf Course, one of Portugal’s largest. Whether you decide to go for a swing or a surfing swim, your host can help you book a session. 

Set in the suburban town of Aroeira, the home is just a thirty-minute drive away from the centre of Lisbon and an even closer, twelve-minute drive to Fonte da Telha Beach. 

Modern Soul

Hot Tub

Villa Kong is a modern and stylish villa located within the picturesque Aroeira Golf Resort. Boasting a generously-sized heated pool and breathtaking views of the golf course, this property offers the perfect getaway for those seeking relaxation and luxury.

The villa features a charmingly-manicured garden that is easily accessible from the open-plan living area through glazed doors, inviting guests to indulge in the serene landscape.

One of the most impressive spaces in the villa is undoubtedly the lower floor, which houses an intimate and incredible cinema room and a lounge that is perfect for American movie enthusiasts.

The ground floor includes an equipped kitchen, an open-plan living and dining area, a bedroom with a double bed, a bathroom with a hydro-massage bathtub, and a laundry room.

On the first floor, there is a suite with a double bed, a bathroom with a shower, and a TV. There are also two additional bedrooms, each with two double beds, a bathroom with a shower, an office, and a terrace with a jacuzzi.

The nearest train station is 10.6 km away, and the property is within driving distance to Costa da Caparica (10.3 km), Setúbal (40 km), Lisbon (25 km), and Lisbon Airport (30 km).

Aroeira Golfers' Retreat

Juicer

Located thirty minutes away from the Arrábida Natural Park, this home is not only within close proximity to the protected area that covers the southernmost margin of the Setúbal Peninsula of Portugal, but also the beach that lies within it. Consecutively voted one of the best beaches in Europe, the Galapos is an inviting sandy strip, adjacent to the deep blue waters of the Atlantic, protected by rocky cliffs. Spend the day here sunbathing or splashing in the salty surf before returning home to find your own little oasis waiting for you. 

A garden brimming with trees and shrubs will be hard to ignore, but even harder still is the private pool set in the centre of it. When you’re not at the beach, this will be your prime defence against the sun’s warming gaze. Grab a cold drink as you lounge poolside, or escape to the porch where you can choose between the swing chair, hammock, or very plush garden chair to recline in. Bring out snacks when you refill your drink and stay out even as the day gives way to a balmy evening. 

Inside you’ll find more comfort awaiting and if you’re anything like us, the rustic aesthetic of this home will ease away every last bit of tension you've been holding onto. The rooms are generous, so when evening turns to night, you can all escape to your own nooks, and the loft upstairs makes a pretty cool hideaway for whoever wants that extra bit of privacy. 

The kitchen is definitely set up in a way to encourage you to try out seafood recipes at home, but no pressure at all – there’s a couple of restaurants not too far away. Lisbon is also a forty-minute drive away if you’re up for a day trip.

Sunset Villa

Get your golf clubs ready for a stay at this charming apartment in greater Lisbon. An on-site championship golf course and tennis court make the most of sunny days on the slice of the Portuguese coast and the beach is a short drive away. Minimalism is the watchword inside with a fireplace in the living room off-setting the stripped-back decor. The floating staircase may look impressive but kids should be supervised, and up on the first floor, you’ll find two of the bedrooms and a private balcony overlooking the trees. 

The Vibes of Lisbon

Just minutes from the stunning Praia Fonte da Telha, this home is sleek, modern and super comfortable. With bang-up-to-date styling and a flat, private garden, it's perfect for families. Set across two floors, divided by a cool floating staircase, it's an all-white ode to minimalism with a few quirky touches – an array of lampshades fitted as wall art, a jukebox and a Chesterfield sofa. There's even an indoor pebble garden for a truly unique touch.

Cook in the smart new kitchen, with all the mod-cons of home, or barbecue outside on the terrace. With wraparound lawns for kids to play on, sun loungers and a private pool, you've got all you need right here. But if you're venturing out, this area is perfect for active guests – there's a golf course nearby, along with tennis courts and water sports. And there's a strip of restaurants and lively bars down at the beach. Don't miss its breathtaking sunsets.

The Here & Now

Situated just half an hour south of Lisbon, this family home provides a nice base to explore Portugal from. Parts of the home, such as the bathroom, are a tad dated but it has everything needed for a comfortable stay. There’s even a downstairs office, if you need to catch up on some work. The kids will have a great time here – with a pool, trampoline and swings and slide, the garden is one giant playground. For more entertainment, pop down to the beach or play a round of golf– both ten minutes away by car.

The strategic location of this villa in the breathtaking Aroeira Golf Resort offers a truly enchanting experience.

Bright Haven Retreat

Private Parking

Situated in the heart of a golf resort, surrounded by a pine forest and just 4 kilometres away from Fonte da Telha Beach, this villa encourages its guests to get out and enjoy the Iberian sunshine. There’s a private saltwater pool for cooling off when the heat gets to be a bit much and a dining area with a barbecue for alfresco meals. Head inside, and you’ll find a convivial living area and sleeping arrangements that suit large families or a group of friends.

The Key to the Fort

Step inside this furnished home with modern comforts that create a colourful yet classy atmosphere. We love how the balconies feature views of lush greenery, perfect for a morning refresh before heading to the living area to join the rest of your party. Dine alfresco in the summer heat while sipping a glass of wine and watching the kids splash around in the cool pool. 

Prepare your clubs for a day of golf at Aroeria Pines Classic, set in protected pine woods, featuring two golf courses as well as several spectacular mansions – we're hoping you get a hole in one! Drive into the city before boarding Tram 28, which will take you through some of the city's oldest neighbourhoods. Embrace its bumpy tracks and appreciate these old trams early in the morning or later in the day. Finish the evening with a trip to Time Out Market to sample the many foods available, as well as a self-serve beer and dancing in the centre.


Take Your Swing

Located in the historic Santa Catarina district, this apartment is perfectly placed to explore Lisbon on foot. You can walk to shops and eateries in Barrio Alto and Chiado, visit the famous Pink Street, or take the iconic 28 Tram up into the hills. Back home, the private terrace is the perfect spot to decompress after sightseeing. It's just the right size for two, while inside, you'll find a cosy bedroom, compact living space, and chic design. We think it's ideal for couples who wish to be in the heart of the action.

As soon as you step through the door of this contemporary apartment of lofty proportions there’s a soothing atmosphere. Designed with Scandinavian influences in mind, it’s a light-filled home that makes for a great Lisbon base. There’s plenty of space to socialise – whether it’s cooking in the kitchen, hosting a glamourous dinner party in the separate dining room, or curling up on the sofa (or those cushy window seats) at the end of a busy day. We particularly love how spacious the bedrooms feel with outdoor balconies to let the fresh air flow through. Those looking to combine work and play will appreciate the dedicated desk area and there's plenty of space to unpack if you're staying in the city for a longer spell. Located in a charming and surprisingly quiet pocket of Lisbon, you’ll find lots of gourmet restaurants and high-end shops a few steps away, including El Corte Inglés shopping mall located just next door. Or for some culture, head to the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum with its beautiful gardens, a mere five minutes away on foot. And with the metro station (São Sebastião) a three-minute walk away, there’s no corner or stone of this captivating city to be left unturned.

Make a Face

Baby Bath

Paid Parking On Street

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

Step-Free Access

Balcony / Patio

With a palatial façade, stunning minimalist interiors, and proximity to the poshest shopping street in Lisbon, Nova Inspirada packs quite a punch. But don't be fooled by the central location – this home is tucked away on a quiet street where you can relax on any of your many terraces, which includes the communal atrium. We tested this home in the winter, so the outside spaces don't look as appealing as they will in the summer, but the building itself hides the remains of a Roman settlement, so you'll be living and breathing history. 

Nova Inspirada

Games Console

Tucked away in a typical street in Alfama, this apartment offers a quiet escape in one of Lisbon's most emblematic neighbourhoods. The building is on a steep hill, but the good news is, you're halfway up to the Castle already (it’s a two-minute walk away). Heading downhill takes you to the fado bars and local restaurants of the old quarter in just a few footsteps. Inside the apartment is a calming haven away from the city noise. A dash of polished cement here, wooden textures there, and an intimate bedroom that ensures a good night's sleep – the modern design works wonders with the old surroundings. It’s not often we highlight a bathroom, but this one with its wall of ferns and Japanese zen-like grey walls feels a bit special. 

Bicicleta Bronze

A welcome retreat in the very middle of the city, this Lisbon apartment is a great find. It’s set above the fray, and while you’ll never find somewhere completely silent so centrally, the calm aura of the flat goes a long way to mitigate any noise that rises up from the street below. Of course, the incredibly comfortable beds don’t hurt either. The flat also has beautiful views across the city to Se Cathedral, and while the living room isn’t huge, the windows bring in enough natural light to make it feel bigger than it is. Step out into the streets and you'll soon discover you couldn't be better placed. Many of the Portuguese capital's headline sights are within a few hundred metres, including the vast Praça do Comércio and 
Sé. Thanks to its location, there's always a buzz in Baixa and you won't have to walk far to discover neighbourhood Ginjinha kiosks, swanky rooftop bars and mouthwatering restaurants. 

Breathe In

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

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

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

Rooftop Terrace

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

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

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

Located in a historical building in Picoas, which was designed by the esteemed Modernist architect Cassiano Branco, Mind Garden is a unique home. While the furniture is quite unobtrusive, the bare architectural bones take centre stage, expressing themselves most obviously in the dining pavilion. Natural light will never be a problem in this home, but taller guests might not appreciate the sloping ceilings in the communal area. While the streets of Picoas aren't as central as Baixa, they are extremely well-connected to the riverside while maintaining a local flavour.

Mind Garden

Cafetiere

Paid Parking On Premises

This building has lived a few lives since it was built in the 1940s. It was designed by the renowned Portuguese architect Manuel Norte Júnior, before being used as a garage for storing car parts. After lying unoccupied for a decade, it was then lovingly restored with a focus on high end furniture and plenty of colourful touches. We particularly enjoyed the huge terrace – not only does it come with a stylish bar where you can mix cocktails, but there’s also plenty of space for alfresco dining and spending time with your loved ones. You'll also find a unique stained glass window in the kitchen, which makes the ideal spot for enjoying morning coffee. Although it's a little out of Lisbon's city centre, the surrounding Saldanha neighborhood has plenty of local restaurants and you can walk to the downtown riverfront area in forty minutes.

Flight of Fancy

Games Room

A pastel-hued Pombaline facade provides the framework for this exquisitely renovated home right in the heart of Lisbon. You couldn't ask for a better location, nestled in the historic centre and just a five-minute stroll from the city's most photographed street, the Bica Funicular. Here, you're within walking distance of the main sights and surrounded by cafes, bars and eateries.

As far as stellar first impressions go, this home certainly delivers. You'll be smitten as soon as you arrive at its elegant azulejo-tiled entryway and ascend its sweeping staircase. The interior is a masterclass in design, striking the perfect balance between contemporary comfort and authentic charm. 

Primed for relaxation, a timeless canvas of floor-to-ceiling French doors, shiny hardwood floors, and intricately moulded high ceilings sets an ambience of calm. Stylish decor, plush upholstery and antique touches adorn the free-flowing lounge and dining room, and we love the state-of-the-art kitchen, with its shiny marble countertops, copper hardware and majestic stove. After a restful slumber in luxury linens, spend mornings roosted at the breakfast bar, tucking into coffee and pastries before slipping out to explore. 

Azulejo Atlas

Single-Level Home

While staying in the winding, cobbled streets of Alfama or Graça might be high up on the list for some visitors to Lisbon, the trendy north-east region of the city is a whole new place to explore. Just a few minutes' walk from the Vermelha metro line which can whisk you into the historic neighbourhoods with ease, this modern apartment in beautiful Bela Vista is something of a 21st-century delight.

The park from which the area gets its name from is only about ten minutes away on foot. This enormous, hilly green park is also where the annual Rock in Rio music festival takes place. And you can see it up from the view at home in this apartment block.

The panoramic windows run from the kitchen to the end of the lounge in a continuous strip. Not only does it allow for spectacular views, but also bathes the apartment in wonderful sunlight. Your decor is somewhat understated and minimalist, but this is what allows for the scenery to really be the main event. White walls and polished tiled floors create a sophisticated decor, seamlessly matched with glossy kitchen fittings. Chill a bottle vinho verde in the fridge and perch on the bar stools as you sip wine and admire the Tagus River.

As Colinas Verdes

Nestled between Estrela and Principe Real, this apartment offers sweeping views and a comfortable space to relax during your city getaway. The decor is homely, the balcony provides a sweet spot for sunset drinks and your host can help organise a range of extra services – including massage treatments, catering and bespoke experiences. Outside, it’s just a short stroll to Jardim da Estrela, and you’ll find plenty of restaurants, bars and shops within walking distance.
