From the atmospheric cobbled streets of the old town to the thriving culinary scene and mesmerising miradouros (viewing points), Lisbon is a city that thrives on diversity. And this home, nestled in the neighbourhood of Lapa, provides the perfect setting to enjoy the abundant beauty of the city. Set across one floor, the owners have styled this apartment to feel like a Saharan sanctuary.

So whether you’re here for an action-packed adventure or a laid-back retreat, this is the kind of home that perfectly adapts to suit the mood of the moment. Open the doors from the living room and you’ll find the little balcony – perfect for a quiet morning coffee or later with aperitivos as the sun sets.

And with a range of local restaurants nearby as well as easy access to the cool cafes of Santa Catarina and chic bars of Principe Real, there’s everything you could need for a dreamy city escape.
