On one of Lisbon’s historic, slanty streets where pastel buildings are trimmed with wrought-iron balconies this apartment is a rare gem. It’s in the Santa Catarina neighbourhood, a short walk from the fado bars and atmospheric restaurants of Bairro Alto and the museums and historic sights of Chiado.

The azulejo-tiled exterior radiates old Lisbon charm but, stepping inside, you’re greeted with a 21st-century haven of calm. Of course, the original windows, herringbone floor and a wall of bookshelves packed with novels feel like classic Lisbon, but the plush lemon-yellow sofa, glass-topped dining table and pendant lamps are a modern update. 

Old french doors lead to the back garden, which is a rarity this close to Lisbon’s centre. Here you’ll find a patio for alfresco dining as olive and fig trees grow in pots. The covered lounge area is our favourite thing about this home, where rattan furniture sits against a beautiful, hand-painted tile fountain, typical of the 18th century. 

Azulejo Daydream

Situated in the Lisbon neighbourhood of Santa Catarina, this apartment is bursting with character – much like the surrounding city itself. 

The open living area is wonderfully bright thanks to the row of French doors that run along one wall, which open out to a succession of Juliet balconies whenever you're in need of a burst of fresh air. We like that the design is contemporary but far from cookie-cutter, with lots of unique touches, like the fetching chequered TV stand and the timberwork separating the cooking quarters. It's a similar story in the bedrooms, one of which has a walk-in wardrobe that will really sing to fashionistas paying a visit.

When it comes to seeing a little more of the Portuguese capital, the central location means that you don't have far to walk to reach attractions. The buzzy food stalls in the Mercado da Ribeira are 800 metres from the front door and there are fantastic views to be had from Miradouro de Santa Catarina half that distance away.

Main Character Energy

Situated in the heart of a bustling Lisbon street, this home is in a central spot for quick access to nearby shops and restaurants. We recommend travelling by foot so you can take a good look at the gorgeous Portuguese architecture throughout the city. Sip a morning coffee on the balcony and head out to the streets below to experience the daily life of the locals.

Take a ride on a tram to explore deeper into Lisbon, or step out of the apartment for a relaxing stroll to find the hidden gems. A huge selection of restaurants is available – perfect for a meal out with the family. If you haven't brought children with you, we suggest visiting one of the many bars located nearby to the apartment for a lush night out on the town. You're on holiday, so you're going to want some bubbly to celebrate.

Head back home to pop the TV on, while you rest your aching feet from a day of adventuring. Snuggle up to the warmth of the wood–burning fireplace with some comfy socks and while away the rest of the night reading your favourite book.

Skyline Tram

Situated on the bustling Rua Augusta, a minute’s walk from the Augusta Arch and the grand Praça do Comércio, a stay in Lisbon doesn’t get more central than this. Mornings begin with a stroll along the riverfront after picking up a coffee and a pastry from Martinho da Arcada, the oldest cafe in the city. If sightseeing is on the agenda, stroll over to the Lisbon Cathedral, Carmo Convent and Santa Justa Elevator, each within ten minutes of your doorstep. 

Inside, an inviting living space with warm mustard yellow and orange tones is the perfect place to unwind with a glass of wine at the end of a busy day. Curl up on the L-shaped couch with a good book until it’s time to cook dinner – the fully-equipped kitchen has everything you need for rustling up something tasty. And when it’s time to call it a night, watch twilight fall over the terracotta rooftops from your private balcony before curling up in comfortable beds.

Marmelada

Housed in an 18th-century building just ​​seconds from Avenida da Liberdade in Lisbon, this beautifully bright home is a stylish, comfortable base from which to explore the city’s most iconic sights. With its Juliet balconies, frescoed walls and laid-back contemporary furnishings, there’s a feeling of history blended with a modern minimalism that feels effortlessly Portuguese. We love the kitchen’s stone sink and the sunny dining area that invites breakfasts over fresh coffee and pastéis de nata, while the bedroom is pared-back and elegant with its Juliet balcony proffering red rooftop views. With a lovely desk space at your disposal too, there will be no shortage of inspiration should business call, though, with countless things to see and do on your doorstep, we suggest less work and more play when you can. Speaking of sightseeing, the Santa Justa Lift is just a seven-minute walk away, São Jorge Castle is walkable in fifteen, while Praça do Comércio is thirteen minutes away on foot. 


Linda Avenida

In cities across the globe, it's more often than not true that the closer a home is to the centre, the less likely it is that it'll have any outdoor space. This apartment in the middle of Lisbon bucks this trend – not only does it have a private terrace with an alfresco dining table, but guests also get access to a communal garden that's blessed with bountiful amounts of plant life.

While these respective spaces are an explosion of colour, the home's interior is much simpler by contrast. The walls and ceilings are painted stark white, which makes it feel instantly bright and welcoming. There's a minimalist approach to furnishings and decoration, although the kitchen that could kindly be described as space-efficient perhaps embraces this trend a little too much. Aside from that, there's very little to fault with this simple but elegant home.

To top it all off, the location is excellent regardless if you're visiting Lisbon for the first or fiftieth time. Both Museu Nacional do Azulejo and Castelo de São Jorge can be reached in around twenty minutes on foot, albeit in opposite directions, while Praça do Comércio takes all of eighteen minutes to reach on the tram.

Green Suits You

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

The Beat

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

Poetic Form

A lively location, a characterful living space, and stunning views? This pad in the heart of historic Chiado has all that and more, including marbled bathrooms, stylish bedrooms, a fully-stocked kitchen and plenty of space for groups to spread out. The sumptuous L-shaped sofa is enormous – it's perfect for movie nights, afternoon siestas or unwinding with a glass of wine (your host leaves a bottle for you to enjoy), and we loved the eclectic decorations brought back from the host's travels. That said, the star of the show here is the incredible view. From the small balcony and big windows, you can spot the Carmo Convent, Tagus River and even Castelo de S. Jorge in the distance. It'll be hard to pull yourself away from the scenery, but when you decide to venture out, this area is as central as it gets. You're right on the cusp of vibrant Bairro Alto, home to trendy nightlife and bars, but you're also within walking distance to all the must-see sights. Plus, the nearest metro stop is a three-minute walk away.

Retro Rita

Down by Lisbon’s waterfront, this apartment is surrounded by chi chi little bars, trendy eateries and all the beguiling attractions of the city centre. Walk less than ten minutes to reach the narrow, bar-stuffed streets of Bairro Alto, or make the eight-minute stroll to the dramatic ruins of Carmo Convent.

Returning to this apartment, you’re met with a vintage-chic interior. Art Nouveau rugs, an azulejo-tiled wall feature and tropical-fern-clad sofas feel as though the host has dipped into the vintage markets to decorate this place. High ceilings and traditional Lisbon windows keep things feeling big and breezy, with an undeniable touch of class. 

Den Of Antiquity

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