Tucked away on a quiet private lane, this industrial-modern loft operates on a scale that surprises – double-height living spaces, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a courtyard where water cascades from a vertical garden into the pool below. When the mood turns inwards, a library with a wood-burning fireplace and a serious contemporary art collection gives you somewhere to settle. An on-site caretaker keeps things running smoothly, and the airport is ten minutes away by car – a rare luxury for a city arrival. Alfama, Bairro Alto, and Chiado are all within easy reach when you're ready to explore.

Home truths

  • While the fifth bathroom isn't photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.

  • The pool is compact – perfect for cooling off after a day of sightseeing, but not suited to serious swimming.

  • There is one parking space in front of the home, accessed via a private lane.

  • The twin beds in two of the bedrooms can be pushed together to make king-size doubles – let your host know in advance if you'd prefer that configuration.

  • Every Tuesday morning at 10am, a maintenance team visits to clean the pool – you'll need to be around to let them in.
