Tucked away on a small square next to São Vicente da Fora monastery, Fine Unity is an unusual home to find in Lisbon. It's a small, split-level cottage, which even shares part of its wall with the monastery. It's clear that a professional was involved in the creation of this home – the original architectural features coexist with mid-century-inspired furniture, resulting in a perfect hybrid between Portuguese and Scandinavian design. This home is located right next to Feira de Ladra, which brings the area to life every Tuesday and Saturday.  

Fine Unity

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 the charming area of Graça, this luminous flat is a cosy retreat in one of Lisbon's most authentic neighbourhoods. The sun-kissed private terrace is our favourite spot. Begin the morning out there with a strong cup of coffee and pasteis de nata in the fresh air – your host can also arrange breakfast – and close the day with a glass of Vinho Verde come nightfall. You'll also have access to a communal garden, which is perfect for picnics in the late-afternoon sunshine. Inside, the sleek design is complemented by brilliant pops of red. Sprawl out on the sofa for a post-sightseeing catnap or gather around the table for a typical Portuguese dinner. 

Another thing we adore is the location. You're a bit further away from the hustle and bustle in the city centre, but with the famous 28 Tram a short walk away, you won't have to travel far to see the sights. Here, narrow streets are flanked by local restaurants, bakeries and open-air cafes, all serving up delectable regional dishes. Make sure to take in the panoramic views from the hilltop observation points – our favourite is Miradouro da Senhora do Monte, easily reached on foot. Or, explore in style and ask your host to arrange river cruises, helicopter tours and other experiences.

Vermilion at Dusk

Carefully laid out, welcoming, and beautifully furnished with natural materials, this charming ground-floor apartment made us feel right at home the minute we walked up to the facade of this typical Lisbon home. However, the design really shines here, and a lot of thought has gone into making the most of the small square footage. The original Pombalino partition wall in the kitchen adds character to the modern interior, creating a tasteful separation that doesn't make the room feel small – meanwhile, the bedroom packs in plenty of built-in storage. The charming outdoor terrace is perfect for an alfresco breakfast or late-night drink. However, when you want to venture beyond its four walls, Graça offers many local spots to explore. Our favourites include celebrating the sunset with a glass at Botequim before heading to dinner at O Pitéu da Graça. Don't let the unassuming exterior fool you – this neighbourhood standout attracts Lisbon's top chefs with its simple regional fare prepared to tried and tested recipes. It's first-come, first-served so arrive early, order a jug of house red and tuck in.

Manila Jute

It doesn't get much better than this Alfama apartment for a first-time visitor to the city. Located a five-minute walk from São Jorge Castle and ten minutes to Sé Cathedral – both excellent starting points for a day of sightseeing – it's the perfect choice for a romantic weekend getaway or a convenient base for a solo traveller who wants to be within walking distance of the action.

Climb up the stairs and enter this bright and comfortable apartment, decorated with stylish simplicity in mind. Up here on the second floor, the open-plan kitchen/dining/living room is the undoubted heart of the home. 

We particularly enjoyed the treetop views that will accompany your culinary efforts in the kitchenette prior to sitting down to dine around the table. After dinner, feel free to unwind on the sofa or head to bed and watch TV in supreme comfort.

Birchwood Heights

Right around the corner from Castelo São Jorge, this large, elegant home is within walking distance of most central Lisbon sights – perfect for a first-time visitor to the city. Thanks to the original windows, this apartment enjoys fantastic natural light – and the well-executed hangout spots under them are great for reading. The carefully selected furniture works well with the original architectural features, and your hosts have been careful not to overfill the home. You'll be staying in Alfama, one of Lisbon's oldest neighbourhoods, famous for fado houses and wonderful hospitality. After exploring on foot, your home is conveniently close to a stop on the iconic number 12 tram, which means you can rest up as you trundle back up the hill. End the day in true local style at Botequim, a couple of hundred metres up the road. Grab a seat outside this iconic Lisbon watering hole and sip on a glass of local wine as the sun sets.

Saint George's Retreat

The thing that really sets this home apart from many others is its spacious terrace that spans the whole apartment. There's a dining area for alfresco meals and a comfy outdoor sofa and chairs for evening drinks. We love that both bedrooms open out onto the patio too. There are views over the area and to the river from the living room's large windows as well. And what a neighbourhood this is. If you've heard of Alfama, you'll know it has plenty of authentic Fado restaurants. And attractions, including São Jorge Castle, Lisbon Cathedral, and the Miradouro das Portas do Sol are under a ten-minute walk away. Oh, and another highlight, the iconic Tram 28 stops right outside the door.

Tranquil Shades

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.  

Agreement In Principle

Situated on Rua da Boavista, between the vibrant neighbourhoods of Santos and Cais do Sodré, you’ll be close to some of the hippest restaurants and bars in the city. There are plenty of top attractions within walking distance. Still, if you don’t fancy exploring on foot, at the nearby Cais do Sodré station, you have access to both the metro (green line) and the train (Cascais line), as well as several buses and trams that will whisk you across Lisbon.

After all that exploring, you’ll really appreciate coming home to this stylish apartment. Large arched windows allow light to flood in. We love the funky armchairs – have a seat and take the weight off your feet. After a rest, get ready in the marble-clad bathroom and head out for dinner at one of the local eateries.


Feathered Boa

In the hilly old streets of Lisbon’s Alfama neighbourhood, you’ve got viewpoints and ancient sights at every turn. From your doorstep, it’s a fifteen-minute walk to the ancient fortification of Castelo S. Jorge, overlooking the orange rooftops of Old Lisbon. A little closer to home, you can explore the trinkets and artworks of Mercado de Santa Clara, a vintage market five minutes’ walk away. Of course, this close to the centre, the streets around you are packed with restaurants, bars and bakeries to fuel your days.

Inside, fawn walls are livened up with bold floral artworks and pops of lipstick-red thanks to the plush dining chairs. The kitchen is a soothing space of lightwood and white, with everything you need for self-catering. Perhaps serve meals at the table in the conservatory-style covered courtyard where a roof of glass lets the natural light stream in.

Floral Daydream

We love homes that are filled with art, and this bright apartment has more than just a few delightfully striking pieces. From the hidden portrait at the bottom of the lamp to the giant clothing pin, every room in this singular home hides a delightful surprise. 
 
Contemporary furnishings are spiced up with a sprinkling of antiques and work well against splashes of bright colour on the walls. It’s little wonder there’s an artist’s studio on the ground floor, belonging to a prominent local creative. 
 
Head out to the private leafy balcony giving way to views over Lisbon’s rooftops – the perfect spot to begin days over coffee and fresh pastéis de nata or to end nights over a celebratory glass of wine. With an elegant dining space here too, there’s no need to go out for a smart meal, but should you choose to do so, you’ll find a plethora of restaurants and bars within easy walking distance. 
 
Speaking of exploring, you’ve got plenty to see and do nearby, including São Jorge Castle (a five-minute walk), the Feira da Ladra flea market (a three-minute walk), Lisbon Cathedral (a twenty-minute walk) and bustling Praça do Comércio (also a twenty-minute walk). With the iconic Tram 28 stopping less than a five-minute walk away too, there’s no end to the cultural and historic delights that await. 


Rays of Light

This Lisbon pad is a playful, eclectic home that mixes in vintage and antique furniture, spicing it all up with splashes of vivid colours. Every room has a unique look and theme, highlighted by the well-curated art that will make your first tour of the home feel like a minor exhibition. And that's before you even go outside where a technicolour terrace awaits, promising memorable evenings sipping sangria as the sun goes down.

The neighbouring streets of Alfama are some of the oldest parts of Lisbon, where you can easily make new friends while walking through history. Wind your way up to the hilltop castle – admiring the selection of vibrant street art en route – and enjoy views over Lisbon's terracotta rooftops. Take the iconic yellow Tram 28 back down and across the city to the bustling Chiado neighbourhood, where you'll have no trouble finding an al fresco spot to enjoy some fine Portguese cuisine.
