Tucked away on a residential street in Alfama, this home is a triple threat of charm, location, and views. This is a cosy haven with a simple design aesthetic that focuses on functionality and comfort – but we really liked the French doors and the hardwood steps that take you up to the attic bedroom. We were torn between the quaint communal terrace at the back and the spectacular river views from the living room. In the end, we decided to split our time between the two. Want to discover the real Lisbon? Slip on your most comfortable trainers and get lost in the charming labyrinthine streets of Alfama. If you want to save your legs, two of the city's most iconic tram routes pass within five minutes of your hillside home. Music lovers should head to the Museu do Fado, a three-minute walk, while history buffs will enjoy the impressive Castelo de São Jorge and Sé de Lisboa, both ten minutes away.

Situated in the charming area of Graça, this luminous flat is a cosy retreat in one of Lisbon's most authentic neighbourhoods. The sun-kissed private terrace is our favourite spot. Begin the morning out there with a strong cup of coffee and pasteis de nata in the fresh air – your host can also arrange breakfast – and close the day with a glass of Vinho Verde come nightfall. You'll also have access to a communal garden, which is perfect for picnics in the late-afternoon sunshine. Inside, the sleek design is complemented by brilliant pops of red. Sprawl out on the sofa for a post-sightseeing catnap or gather around the table for a typical Portuguese dinner. 

Another thing we adore is the location. You're a bit further away from the hustle and bustle in the city centre, but with the famous 28 Tram a short walk away, you won't have to travel far to see the sights. Here, narrow streets are flanked by local restaurants, bakeries and open-air cafes, all serving up delectable regional dishes. Make sure to take in the panoramic views from the hilltop observation points – our favourite is Miradouro da Senhora do Monte, easily reached on foot. Or, explore in style and ask your host to arrange river cruises, helicopter tours and other experiences.

Like its lovely downstairs neighbour, Quarta Bicicleta is one of the nicest homes in this part of Alfama – and trust us, we've seen many. The location at the foot of the São Jorge Castle will make sightseeing effortless, and the terrace has some pretty sweet views of the river too. With a coherent modern design and high quality furniture, the only thing we can really fault this home for are the slanting ceilings (if you're tall), and the wall art might not be to everyone's taste.

There's more to Alfama than exploring medieval architecture and its fado legacy. Its maze-like streets are a joy to get lost in, and the nearby waterfront is a popular nightlife spot, so make sure to pack a pair of shoes for every occasion. This apartment stands out for its minimalist modern design in this historic area. There's a lot of space for you to enjoy, filled only by a few select pieces of furniture, which sets you up for a relaxing stay without lots of clutter around. There's a bedroom balcony, which isn't huge, but it does offer a brilliant view of the Sé Cathedral – which offers a taste of what the city has in store. So, lace up your trainers and set out to explore the city's seven hills. You're only a few minutes from the impressive Praça do Comércio and the grid-like shopping streets of downtown Baixa. If you fancy exploring further afield, then you're close to the Sé stop of the iconic 28 tram.

Nice to haves

Wonderfully bright and designed with a keen eye for detail, this beautiful apartment in Lisbon’s scenic Mouraria neighbourhood is the ideal base for those wanting to be within easy walking distance of the city’s best sights. Inside, wood floors and a calm blue palette create a cool harmony in each part of the open-plan living space. From the bathroom’s pretty tiles to the mezzanine bedroom’s wall and ceiling, there’s a Mediterranean vibe here in the sky-coloured hues that feel as laid-back as it does chic. We love the French doors that open out onto a Juliet balcony – ideal for perching with your morning coffee while admiring your street’s azulejo-clad buildings. We’re big fans, too, of the nods to Portuguese traditions, like the cork around the bathroom’s sink and the kitchen’s blue and white tiles. Outside of your home, you're just a thirteen-minute walk from the Alfama and its São Jorge Castle, the Santa Justa Lift is a fifteen-minute walk and Praça do Comércio is a twenty-minute stroll from your home. With countless restaurants, shops and some of the city’s oldest fado bars in your neighbourhood too, you’re all set to soak up the city’s culture, food and history in style. 


The Azure Mezzanine

You'll instantly fall in love with this charming apartment, situated in the heart of Lisbon. With plenty of space, an excellent location, and a hefty dose of style, it's guaranteed to make you feel at home right away. 

The living area is a chic space where you can really relax – you'll love admiring the splashes of colour and quirky design details dotted throughout. Budding chefs can whip up a delicious Portuguese feast in the kitchen and serve their culinary creations at the gorgeous dining table. And, the open-plan layout makes is perfect for socialising – you can chat to your guests about your plans over a delicious glass of wine in the evening. 

Step outside, and you'll find yourself in the Baixa neighbourhood, just steps away from many of the city's most iconic sights. Both the Arco da Rua Augusta and the famous trams are only one minute away on foot, as is the Praça do Comércio. And, if you want to visit the Santa Justa Elevator, it's only a five-minute walk away – it really doesn't get more central than this.

The Sketchbook

With a fabulous central location and set in a renovated period building, this home is simple, smart, and a little bit sassy. Painted all white, with shuttered windows and warm wood floors, it's a traditional apartment with some far from traditional wall art (we see you, Julia Roberts). A bright living area boasts a particularly squashy corner sofa and a modern dining table with chairs for up to six. The kitchen is sleek and modern, with all you could need to whip up light meals, and the bedrooms are spacious and full of natural light. You'll even have a narrow balcony here, on which to sip coffee, read a newspaper and people watch on the street below. On the lower side of Alfama, you'll get to enjoy a view of the Sé Cathedral, and all the city's sights are within walking distance – we recommend you start your tour at the nearby Praça do Comércio.

Single-Level Home

If you're quite particular about location, then this apartment is the place for you. Situated inside a period building on Rua de Santa Justa, you'll be able to spot Arco da Rua Augusta from the living room, and walk to Elevador de Santa Justa in just one minute – it doesn't get much more convenient than that. Beautifully restored and filled with light, this home is as stylish as it is comfortable. We especially loved the kitchen's bright yellow tiles, where you can prepare a delicious meal using fresh ingredients to share at the sleek glass table. There's also a desk for catching up on work, and a plush sofa where you can put your feet up and enjoy some Portuguese wine – but with so much to do right on your doorstep, we think you'll hardly find the time. 

Floral Uplift

Ideally located in the heart of Lisbon, a short walk from landmarks like Praça do Comércio and the Sé, not to mention mere footsteps from excellent restaurants, this apartment couldn’t be better placed. Thanks to the flexible sleeping arrangements in the second bedroom, this home suits all travelling types. And the fully-equipped kitchen suits those wanting to stay for a longer period. Though if you’d prefer not to cook, your host can provide breakfast deliveries and private chefs as an optional extra.

Sitting on a street boasting one of the oldest houses in Lisbon – dating back almost five hundred years – this beautiful spot in the Alfama district paints a picture of what the capital looked like pre-earthquake. And although this bright apartment isn't half that old, it's surrounded by quaint, winding streets full of photo opportunities, fado houses and picturesque squares. 
 
You’ll instantly be charmed by the dazzling amount of natural light that fills this home thanks to the trio of French doors in the living room that gives way to a private narrow balcony. Perch here in the morning with a fresh cup of coffee while taking in views of the square below or gather here at sundown for a glass of wine before exploring the local dining scene. 
 
The window-side table beckons intimate breakfasts over locally bought pastéis de nata or cosy dinners at home when you’re not experiencing the city’s nightlife, while the pared-back bedroom offers the ideal canvas for a perfectly restful night’s sleep. Factor in the bathroom’s luxurious rainfall shower – sure to get any day off on the right foot – and you’ve got everything you need for a comfortable, carefree stay. 
 
When it comes to exploring, walk four minutes to visit São Jorge Castle, or visit the Tagus-facing Praça do Comércio, fifteen minutes away on foot. You’re also a fifteen-minute walk from the Santa Justa Lift, while the Museu do Fado is ten minutes on foot from your door. 


Birchwood Views

Welcome Hamper

Apartments don’t come much more poetic than this one, located in Lisbon’s historic Chiado district. With its living room and bedroom’s Juliet balconies, greet the day by opening up their respective French doors and gazing out across the city’s red rooftops towards São Jorge Castle and the Tagus River beyond. Make yourself at home at the window-side table for sunny breakfasts over coffee and pasteis de nata, or sit down to intimate dinners while the sound of Fado and street music drifts up to serenade your evening. With a cool, monochrome bedroom that’s as slick as it is comfortable and a bathtub to retreat to for long soaks after a day of sightseeing, you’ve got everything you need for a relaxing, care-free stay. When you’re not hanging out in your chic city pad, go out and explore your surroundings. Peruse the shelves at Bertrand – the world's oldest bookstore – a one-minute-minute walk away, visit the Carmo Convent and the Santa Justa Lift (both under five minutes away on foot) and soak up the lively atmosphere at Praça do Comércio, a ten-minute stroll from your door. With the Alfama district and São Jorge Castle a fifteen-minute walk away as well, you couldn’t be better placed to experience the best of Lisbon.

Situated in Alfama, this home sits amidst the winding alleyways of Lisbon’s most historic neighbourhood, just steps from the Santo Estevao Church and its mesmerising views. Its carefully renovated interior is brimming with character and beautifully equipped for couples and digital nomads, boasting an art-led aesthetic and a fantastic remote working set-up.

With its ancient terracotta-hued façade, potentially predating the seventeen-fifty-five earthquake, this home exudes historic allure from the outset. The interior has been exquisitely renovated and strikes the perfect balance between contemporary comfort and authentic charm. A canvas of white walls, wooden floors and sweeping archways creates a free-flowing ambience of calm, adorned with an eclectic curation of vintage décor and fine art prints collected by the host and their family. Though compact, the kitchen is fully equipped for cooking and complete with a cosy dining nook. Between adventures, enjoy espressos and pastries here, or sprawl on the sofa with a book and kick back in the air conditioning.

You’re perfectly positioned to explore here, well-connected to the nostalgic number-twenty-eight-tram and just a fifteen-minute stroll from Lisbon Cathedral, Commerce Square, and the Rua Augusta Arch. Closer to home, the iconic Miradouro das Portas do Sol viewpoint is only six minutes from your doorstep on foot, offering postcard-worthy panoramas across Lisbon’s old town – take it from us, it’s particularly striking at sunrise.
