Combining earthy tones with laidback furnishings, this jungle-inspired home is a calming oasis in the heart of Lisbon’s upmarket Santo António neighbourhood. Inside, the open-concept living space is laidback yet considered – with natural textures in abundance and waxy leaf plants providing a sense of cosiness. After an extra-long snooze in the comfortable beds, sit down to a light breakfast put together at your sleek kitchenette. Plan your itinerary from the comfort of the contemporary sofa, then throw on your sun hat and explore the city. Take a stroll around Parque Eduardo VII before enjoying a hearty lunch in a nearby traditional tasca. If sightseeing is on the agenda, weave through the winding streets on the 28 tram to the old-world Alfama district or hop off at Cais do Sodré and check out the Livraria Bertrand (the world’s oldest book shop), Carmo Convent and the grand Praça do Comércio.

Local guide
About Lapa
The hilly neighbourhood of Lapa favours those with high ambitions. The promise of the most amazing views over the Tejo river drives many visitors into its heights, and few are ever disappointed. The area is mostly upscale (some extravagant architecture is expected), but Lapa has maintained its quiet residential feel in the centre of the city since its aristocratic days. It's the perfect spot for a late afternoon stroll with lots of variety in terms of dining and fado houses with some of the best-renowned spots spread over this tranquil area.
