Don't be fooled by the terracotta tiling and quaint old-world exteriors of this penthouse apartment, located in the heart of the charming Bica district. Step inside, and you'll discover this Saharan-inspired home is perfectly made up for modern city living at its very best. Blending warm and earthy tones, abstract artwork and a fibre lantern, you'll soon feel completely relaxed in your cosy and cocooned, yet brightly-lit open-plan living space - we especially love the skylights and vaulted ceilings that create this effect. There's a dedicated desk for those visiting on business and both bedrooms benefit from stylish ensuite bathrooms. But the star of the show is your private terrace, overlooking the river mouth of Tajo – it's the best spot for a glass of wine come evening, or a coffee before setting off for the day. We recommend starting your sightseeing with a ride up the Bica Elevator nearby, offering skyline views over this picturesque city. Next – head to the iconic Pink Street for shops and bars, or make your way to the ever-trendy Bairro Alto area, just a short walk from your door.

Local guide
About Saldanha
Saldanha is the uptown business district of Lisbon, filled with designer shops and upscale restaurants that contrast the modern buildings where many locals spend their working days. But it's not like Saldanha closes down after five – there's plenty of residents who appreciate the neighbourhood's sleek look. As a consequence, Saldanha has a great fresh food market, a few cosy cafes, parks and everything else you might need for a great stay. The traffic connections are fast and abundant, meaning most parts of Central Lisbon are only a short train ride away.
