This beautiful apartment combines modern decor with traditional style as you reside in the city. The walls are made from stone, lit up by the daylight that pours in through the large windows in the living space. Snuggle up on the sofa with the cushions as you watch a movie on the TV together – the aroma of a homecooked meal flowing through the home from the kitchen. Enjoy meals at the circular dining table, before heading out onto the balcony to sip on a sumptuous glass of wine – you get a gorgeous skyline view from this spot no matter the time of day. Get comfy under the covers in the bedroom to read a brand new book as the sunlight streams in, accompanied by a mug of hot chocolate. Spend evenings on the balcony as you bathe in the amber glow of the sunset with a flute of champagne. Head out to explore the city of Lisbon, with bustling streets and cosy eateries that serve up delicious cuisine ranging from local dishes to global specialties. Visit historical landmarks that offer beautiful backdrops for those all-important holiday snaps or wander through the charming National Museum of Contemporary Art.
