This home is located in Casa Chafariz, a recently renovated historical landmark that is a prime example of Pombaline architecture. At first glance, the interior looks like it's been designed with Scandinavian minimalism in mind, but there are a couple of creative touches that add some warmth and personality — the host's own paintings and photography on the walls, for example, or the chic monochromatic marble on the kitchen surfaces. There's a rather lovely view of the rooftops of Chiado out the living room window too, which should give you some inspiration to head out and explore. In one direction, the Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga can be reached in ten minutes on foot, while the lively neighbourhood of Bairro Alto sits a similar amount of time in the other direction.
