The lifestyle in Príncipe Real matches the look and feel of this district – sophisticated and affluent. Where old-world Portuguese tradition meets 21st-century luxe, this area is packed with independent boutiques, elegant cafés, and excellent dining options. And only an eight-minute walk from the lush Botanical Garden, this apartment also echoes the vibe of its locale. Creative yet classy, stepping into this home feels like an escape from the bustle of the city. We love the diverse range of organic textures, from wicker chairs to handwoven tapestries lining the walls by the sofa. One of the most striking features in this open-plan space is the wall-mounted, celosia wood carving – particularly when set in contrast against the trendy charcoal-coloured wall. While this earthy palette continues throughout, with nods to Saharan influence and design, the apartment isn't quite ‘down to earth’. From up here you can peer over the balconette in the bedroom to admire views of the famous terracotta rooftops, a glass of douro in hand. Let the record player set the tone for the evening ahead – but when the vinyl comes to an end, head out to a local cocktail bar to continue the night in style.
