Located in a residential area of Lisbon between Santos and Alcântara, this bright apartment wouldn’t be out of place as a writer’s or artist’s retreat. Full of wonderfully unique pieces of art and decorative ornaments, there’s a real sense of creativity here that feels instantly inviting. The sunny living room – with its wood floors and white walls – is decked out in laid-back contemporary furnishings, with a lovely dining table that beckons to be gathered around for coffee and pastéis de nata or celebratory meals to bookend your days. The master bedroom is elegantly white with a beachy boho vibe that will ease you into a peaceful night’s sleep and a pretty Juliet balcony to wake up to in style. With a dedicated office room equipped with a colourful desk, you’ve got everything you need for work or play. Outside of your home, you’re a twenty-five-minute walk from the famous Time Out food market, a thirty-five-minute stroll from Praça do Comércio and a short eight-minute walk from the Oriente Museum.

Home truths

    Due to the location, this home is extremely loud

    At maximum capacity, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the office

    Unfortunately, there's no washing machine here

    There is no elevator to this first-floor home – those with limited mobility or heavy suitcases take note

    When we tested the wi-fi, it wasn't strong enough to support smooth video streaming or other data-heavy tasks

    The kitchen is on the small side and lacks an oven

    There's no parking here, but we recommend skipping the car and making use of Lisbon's public transport instead – Alcantara-Terra station is an eleven-minute walk away
