Grab yourself a slice of authentic Lisbon life at this immaculate apartment set in the peaceful, hilly Lapa quarter – one of the city's most swoon-worthy residential districts. Inside, this apartment's relaxed bohemian vibe is grounded in Lisbon, with modern ceramic touches and unique artwork throughout. Those clever designers have thought of all the modern creature comforts here, too. There's a dedicated desk space for guests planning to work, a super-sleek kitchen in the open-concept living space, and two high-style bathrooms with oligatory rainfall showers to kickstart your day. But the clincher for us has to be that suntrap terrace with views over the emblematic terracotta rooftops of the city. It's the perfect spot to take five with a coffee and a pastel de nata around the bistro table. When it's time to explore, get off to a flying start at the famous Time Out Market Lisboa to pick up picnic supplies, then follow the locals down to the beautiful Estrela Gardens and sprawl out in the sunshine. Or lose yourself to the bohemian Bairro Alto district – its cobblestone streets brimming with centuries-old houses, vivid street art, and traditional Fado bars is an afternoon well spent. And better still, it's all just a short walk away.
