With a sought-after address in the heart of Lisbon, situated in the neighbourhood of Santo António, this home is a great find.

With a palatial façade, stunning minimalist interiors, and proximity to the poshest shopping street in Lisbon, Nova Inspirada packs quite a punch. But don't be fooled by the central location – this home is tucked away on a quiet street where you can relax on any of your many terraces, which includes the communal atrium. We tested this home in the winter, so the outside spaces don't look as appealing as they will in the summer, but the building itself hides the remains of a Roman settlement, so you'll be living and breathing history.

Nice to haves

This slick, multi-level apartment sits in cool and central Príncipe Real. Inside is characterful, warm, and welcoming. We’re talking hardwood floors, walls filled with bold prints in artfully mismatched frames, sleek leather sofas, and beds that wouldn’t be out of place in a high-end hotel. The kitchen has everything you would need if you weren’t dining out in one of the gazillion acclaimed restaurants that Lisbon is famous for. Get the coffee maker on and wake up leisurely, and if you can, claim the master bedroom that comes with its own balcony and city views. We love the elevated touches in this home, like the HD projector you can plug your laptop into for film night on the mezzanine. Get your favourite tunes on the sound system for a summer soundtrack to pre-dinner drinks. Explore the city on your doorstep - potter around the nearby antique shops and independent boutiques. Pick up an iconic Portuguese custard tart on your way to the nearby subway station Baixa-Chiado and explore further afield. This area is friendly, relaxed, and cool - you'll be feeling like a local in no time.

This isn't your ordinary attic space—your fabulous host has expertly preserved traditional Portuguese design, while incorporating modern and eclectic elements to create a laidback, bohemian style. We particularly loved the industrial cast-iron bar stools and antique cinema seats in the living space. There’s a small balcony too, to enjoy your morning espresso and the first of the day’s sun before heading off into charming Lisbon. Contrary to its homespun interiors, your apartment is on the affluent Avenida da Liberdade, lined with trees and high-end retailers—it’s one of Europe’s most luxurious shopping destinations. From your picturebook Pombaline pad, it’s a gentle fifteen-minute walk to Baixa, Lisbon’s downtown district, filled with upscale eateries and bars, and ten minutes up hill to Parque Eduardo VII, with unmissable views of the city and the River Tagus in the distance.

Pombaline Polaroid

This flat sits in an authentic, azulejo-tiled building on a quiet street just off of Avenida da Liberdade, Lisbon's main boulevard. You’ll be walking distance from a host of attractions – fifteen minutes from Convento do Carmen, fifteen from the Botanical Gardens and eighteen from the trendy Barrio Alto. Returning home, you’ll find original stone arches and tasteful vintage furnishings in the lobby that perfectly match the exterior traditional setting. Inside, stone accents bring the same authenticity to the living space, while bright pops of colour add a touch of warmth and cosiness to the home. Sit back on the sofa, gather around the table for a meal or take a luxurious soak in the marble bathroom – with its brilliant location and thoughtful interior, this is a great choice for newbies and oldies to the city. 

Rainbow Connection

This home is a  paradise for shoppers – it's situated just off the tree-lined Avenida da Liberdade, famous as one of the most expensive shopping streets in Europe with its designer stores such as Cartier and Prada. For a wealth of bars, restaurants and historic architecture, take a fifteen-minute stroll to the picturesque neighbourhood of Bairro Alto. Or head to Praça do Comércio with its harbour-facing square, a twenty-minute stroll away. The immediate area isn't super touristy but feels more authentic and quiet, which is something we always like. Back at this stylish apartment, take a seat on the comfy sofa and rest your feet after all that retail therapy or get some fresh air on the balcony. This place has everything you need for a comfortable stay –  we particularly love the vintage furniture scattered throughout the house, as well as the gorgeous marble-style bathrooms. With this home, you can really live like a Lisboeta.

Cassandra

This pet-friendly apartment is perfect for couples. It's a little small, but it has style in spades. We love how wooden beams cleverly divide the living space from the eat-in kitchen, while the snug bedroom is tucked away down the hall. Plan to work from home? Along with high-speed wi-fi, there's a dedicated workstation with enough room for two. The location is also excellent. You'll be in Santo António, a short walk from the shops and eateries on Avenida da Liberdade. Fancy sightseeing? Hop on the metro or ride the iconic trams down to the bustling Praça do Comércio.

Sundown Serenade

Boasting a lively, multicultural atmosphere and plenty of parks, art galleries and eateries, Anjos is widely considered to be the trendiest neighbourhood in Lisbon. It’s also very well-connected, just fifteen minutes from the historic centre by public transport yet tucked away from the tourist hustle and bustle. You’ll find this stylish home here, nestled amidst pastel-hued Pombaline architecture and providing the perfect base for those seeking an authentic slice of the city.  

Inside, it’s a timeless canvas of high ceilings, hardwood floors and floor-to-ceiling French windows, ushering in heaps of natural light. Though compact, the interior is exquisitely renovated and offers all the bells and whistles for a comfortable stay, including a modern kitchen and a cosy mezzanine bedroom. However, the real highlight is undoubtedly the little balcony. Drenched in sunlight and furnished with a table and chairs, it's a lovely spot for alfresco breakfasts in the sun. Spend mornings roosted here, sipping coffee amidst the terracotta-tiled rooftops before a stroll through Eduardo VII Park, just seventeen minutes away on foot.

Bom Bocado

Tucked away inside a typical Lisbon townhouse, this cute and characterful space is a delightful surprise. With a wooden Pombaline frame that transforms the communal area into a library, this home is an excellent option for an avid reader – the outdoor balcony will win over the rest with gorgeous views of the nearby botanical garden. While most visitors flock to the likes of Alfama and Bairro Alto, this stunning apartment is located in the heart of Principe Real. Admittedly, it's further away from the historical city centre, but its pastel-coloured mansion apartments and wide boulevards provide it with a charm all of its own. You'll find the enchanting ten-acre Jardim Botânico de Lisboa and the lush Jardim do Príncipe Real within a five-minute walk. While your capable kitchen can handle anything you can throw at/over it, you're spoiled for choice when it comes to local eateries – it's a veritable foodie heaven. Choose to chow down at A Cevicheria, where you can indulge in a light and zesty menu of citrus-cured fish and mouth-puckering pisco sours. Alternatively, Atalho Real plates up melt-in-the-mouth meat in a relaxed environment. Once you've eaten your fill, there's a tempting choice of local bars where you can keep the party going – Pavilhão Chinês serves imaginative long drinks in an old grocery store packed with flea market finds and bric-a-brac. At the same time, cult favourite Foxtrot might be reminiscent of a good old British pub, but the creative cocktail menu promises so much more. 



Green Library

In this upscale neighbourhood full of traditional tilework and colourful buildings, Príncipe Real has become synonymous with Lisbon’s art movement and the LGBT community over the years. You can expect to find striking nineteenth-century architecture next to vibrant cafés, galleries, museums, and bars. Hidden away on a quiet street in the heart of this district, just over a kilometre away from attractions like the Santa Justa lift and Convento do Carmo, this apartment is as bright and beautiful as its surroundings. In this funky salmon-pink building, head upstairs and into your living space, where we love the exposed brick and wooden floors alongside white, minimalist furnishings. It feels fresh and modern – the perfect setting to unwind in after exploring the colourful and exciting locale. Each sumptuous bedroom has been thoughtfully designed with plush fabrics and subtle artwork to ensure you get the rest you need to take on the day ahead. But if you’re the going-out type, you’re only a fourteen-minute walk from Bairro Alto, a popular area for late-night spots in the Portuguese capital. Thankfully, you can return to the serenity of your home-away-from-home after a busy evening.

Gaivota

This bright apartment with its high ceilings, solid wood floors and pops of turquoise feels just like home. You’ll start your mornings at the dining table, washing down sweet Portuguese pastries with an espresso or two, before watching the bustle of Restauradores Square from your Juliet balcony. Fall back onto the sofa and nestle among the plump cushions with a good book until you feel ready to explore your surroundings. 

Begin with a trip to the Carmo Convent, just a short walk away, then make your way down to Rua Augusta for a spot of shopping. Watch the boats pootle along the Tagus River from Praça do Comércio or mosey over to Alfama for its rabbit warren of becos lined with no-nonsense eateries. Grab a table at the Portas do Sol viewpoint come sunset for glorious pastel skies above shambling terracotta rooftops.

Nestled in a quiet residential street in Príncipe Real, Afterglow is a great option for visitors wanting to be somewhere central but with a peaceful, calm atmosphere. The living room is open to the kitchen and dining room and gets great natural light. We loved the views you get over the city’s rooftops – but take note, the view is earned by walking up a steep street. The apartment is comfortable and it’s in great condition, making it a lovely place to come back to after a long day of pounding the pavement. 


Afterglow

Free Parking On Street

Location might be the most important consideration when you’re booking an escape to the city, but with this home in the heart of Lisbon that doesn’t mean compromising on style. Already crisp, minimal, and understated, you can also add bright to the list as soon as you open the shuttered windows dotted around this home. With the light streaming in, the contrast of the mostly white interior will make the green of the house plants look all the more vivid, whilst creating a calming and rejuvenating atmosphere. Enjoy the mezzanine bedroom by staying in bed with a good book and a cup of coffee. Eventually, you can make your way down to the sleek kitchen to grab a bite to eat before setting off to explore the city on your doorstep. 

The iconic Lisbon Cathedral is a thirty-minute walk away, but there are plenty of restaurants and cafes along the way to make a pit stop, or two, at. Put your photography skills to the test as you try to capture the vibrance of the city as you make the twenty-three-minute walk to the monumental 1940 Fonte Luminosa. There are also plenty of museums to explore and then Time Out Market lies in wait at the other end of an eighteen-minute trip on the public transport. Wherever your feet take you, you can always head back to this homely oasis when you need to put them up and simply relax.

The Lisbon Minimalist

Cafetiere

The streets surrounding this apartment are part of Principe Real – one of the trendiest neighbourhoods in Lisbon, where new cafes crop up almost every month alongside organic markets and original clothing boutiques. Thanks to the hilltop location, this split-level home has incredible views over the Tagus River and the city's varied architecture, and the best spot to take it all in is from the balcony. Just grab a bottle of wine (your host generously leaves one for you) and take your front-row seat to gorgeous sunsets over the rooftops. When you're in the mood to cook, the kitchen has everything you need – there's also a produce market held on Saturdays in the park nearby to stock up on fresh produce. Downstairs is relaxed and cosy, with pops of bright reds and a clean, contemporary living space that's an excellent place to hang out after a busy day. We think this apartment is a great match for a family or friend group that want a vibrant locale, excellent views and easy access to transport links.

Poppy Bloom

Rua de São José is famous for its opulent design boutiques, as well as upscale restaurants and bars that make this street a perfect day out for those who appreciate the finer things in life. Solar has excellent natural light and it's obvious that it's been designed by an architect – the azulejo details give subtle, yet frequent nods to traditional Portuguese design. Although we'd love to see some more artwork on the walls, this home does an excellent job of mixing several different stone textures that give each room a distinct character. 

Solar

Located on Praça dos Restauradores – a beautiful landmark in its own right – this bright home lets you sightsee from the comfort of your living room. A peak out of the window grants you views of a number of the city's most iconic buildings, including the ornate Palacio Foz directly opposite. This home has been put together with care and attention to detail. The furniture is minimalist, and together with the comfortable sofa, it creates a clean look, complimenting the abundance of natural light. Nearby you'll find a number of the city's best independent boutiques, as well as international names. A couple of standouts include Livraria Bertrand – the oldest book shop in the world is a ten-minute walk away – and the elegant Brasileira cafe is an eight-minute walk. Just round the corner, you'll find the atmospheric Rossio Square – a hangout spot for locals and visitors alike.

Tropical Juice

It's impossible to talk about Evaristo's Cauldron without first mentioning the lovely host Susana, who lives in the same building and treats all guests as if they were old friends. Located in Principe Real, this home is close to all central attractions, but the immediate surroundings are fairly quiet. Even though this home is located in an old building, both the exterior and interior are impeccable. Evaristo's Cauldron preserves traditional Portuguese architectural features while ensuring that this home is comfortable, functional, and designed with a mixture of old and new chic.

Situated in Lisbon’s upmarket Santo António neighbourhood, this jungle-inspired apartment is an oasis of calm in the midst of the city. Inside, carefully curated rooms are illuminated by large windows. The leafy houseplants add a fresh feel while the playful prints make an impact against moody grey accents. After waking up in the serene bedrooms, put together a traditional Portuguese breakfast in the sleek kitchen and dine all together in the open-concept living space. 

After a mid-afternoon snooze in the hammock, throw on your sunhat and saunter over to the nearby Parque Eduardo VII for fantastic views of the River Tagus. Enjoy a spot of luxury shopping along Avenida da Liberdade before heading into the heart of Baixa where you’ll find the Carmo Convent, Praça do Comércio and the must-visit Time Out Market.

Boa Onda

Located along Lisbon's vibrant Avenida da Liberdade, renowned for its designer shopping and excellent restaurants, this stylish apartment welcomes you to experience the city in style. You're just a short twelve-minute walk from Convento do Carmo and a twenty-four-minute stroll from São Jorge Castle. 

It's a bright and breezy living space with heaps of abundant natural light pouring in throughout the day, thanks to the floor-to-ceiling windows that frame calming green views. Return from a culture-packed afternoon of sightseeing and sprawl out on the plump sofa with a glass of Rioja, immediately noticing the tranquil atmosphere of your modern pad. 

The sleek, open kitchen and dining area mean you can prepare a few traditional dishes to accompany your aperitivo while keeping up with the conversation and customary card games. There's plenty of room for inviting guests over, without feeling on top of each other. Later on, head out for dinner in lively Baixa, where fantastic eateries and hidden wine bars await, just eleven minutes away on foot. 

Sofa Wine

Located just 15 minutes outside of the bustling city centre, this apartment is a perfect romantic retreat. The expansive terrace is ideal for starting your morning with a mindful yoga session, before taking a short stroll to the Praça Marquês de Pombal and the Parque Eduardo VII to enjoy the sights. Use the sightseeing buses to explore the city, or wander down the Avenida da Liberdade towards Baixa-Chiado, where you'll find a selection of cafes and bakeries for breakfast and lunch. Admire the neoclassical architecture and shop along the boutique-lined Rua Augusta where artists and artisans peddle their wares. Or hop on the Elevador de Santa Justa and make the vertical 47-metre journey to enjoy spectacular views of the city – it’s a bit of a cliché, but some things are clichéd for a reason.

Sol Terraco

On a quiet corner of the leafy Amoreiras district, situated ten minutes from Avenida da Liberdade’s elegant boulevards—if you want to experience Lisbon’s contemporary side, then Brimstone is for you. Inside, the home is understated and fresh, with mid-century furnishings among crisp white walls. There’s a balcony with gorgeous rooftop views and space to sit out in the warm Iberian sunshine. The living area is light-filled and spacious—a comfy sofa calls for stolen moments with your favourite book, while the dining table inspires group dinners and animated schedule planning. Put Park Eduardo VII at the top of your list. Located well under a fifteen-minute walk away, the views of the Tagus river are some of the best in Lisbon. Plus, its home to the lush flora of the Estufa Fria (cold greenhouse) and nearby Marques do Pombal metro station, connecting you with some of the city’s most revered restaurants.

Just a two-minute walk from Lisbon’s beautiful Praça das Flores, this home in the heart of Principe Real is an ideal base for those looking for a truly relaxing city stay. Showing off its traditional Portuguese style, this bright apartment’s main room is full of Azulejo details, while the bedrooms are light and full of charm with their floral decor and large view-giving windows. Speaking of views, step out onto the large private terrace where a table, chairs and sun loungers wait to host sunny alfresco breakfasts and evening drinks while you watch the sunset over Lisbon’s emblematic red rooftops. When you’re busy soaking up the personalised comfort of your beautiful home, go out and explore your surroundings. Bairro Alto’s cobbled streets lined with hip restaurants and Fado bars are ten minutes away on foot, the Carmo Convent is a fifteen-minute stroll away and the Time Out Market is a twenty-minute walk from your door. The Alfama, too, is easily reachable on foot in just thirty minutes where the São Jorge Castle waits to be discovered. Factor in the Tagus cruises, surf lessons, helicopter flights, wine tours and at-home massages your host is happy to organise for you, and you’ll soon see why this home provides the perfect, blissful break. 


Flower Square

Barbeque

You’ll be just a nine-minute walk from Lisbon’s prime shopping destination – Avenida da Liberdade – but if you’d rather peruse the gardens than the shops, Parque Eduardo VII is an easy five-minute walk away and the perfect spot for morning strolls. Back at home, you’ll find a calming two-tone mint palette that complements the gorgeous herringbone floors. The furniture is simple and cosy, and the space gets plenty of light from the large front windows. We especially love the large communal courtyard, with an abundance of tables for alfresco meals or evening cocktails with friends. And when it’s time for bed, you’ll find the colour scheme shifts from mint to a sleepier navy, lulling you into peaceful dreams of the city.

Larousse is quite a particular home with a unique structure that's hard to find in Lisbon.  The modern minimalist furniture works well with the traditional bare bones of this typical townhouse, creating a pleasant communal area that includes a sociable kitchen. The second bedroom is located on the mezzanine and it isn't well separated from the communal area – it will only suit those who can get up the steep stairs and appreciate the open space. But you'll get to enjoy a great view and a location that will get you close to the sights and the best shops in town. 

Larousse

The streets between Jardim do Princípe Real and Avenida da Liberdade are far from touristy – the houses are populated with real Lisbon residents, who go about the business between small shops and cafes. Rainy Night is located inside a typical Portuguese townhouse, albeit one that looks a bit more scruffy on the outside – unlike the apartment. The home has a lovely view and lots of natural light, with a simple, functional design that doesn't clutter. We particularly liked the French doors and the wooden headboard in the master bedroom.

Rainy Night

Luxury Bedding

Located in the stylish Príncipe Real bairro of Lisbon, walking distance from the quaint shaded Praça das Flores, this top floor apartment has some of the best views Lisbon has to offer. The interiors are traditional yet fully updated, with abstract art and framed Joan Miró prints adding a contemporary edge. But it’s the balconies that really make this home. As soon as you wake up, settle into the sight of the terracotta rooftops and iconic Abril de 25 Bridge washed in the morning’s soft yellow light—it’s really quite something. Better still, there’s another small outside space at the rear of the property so you’ll never have to miss a second of the Iberian sunshine. Your neighbourhood is renowned for its selection of trendy restaurants, bars and gelaterias. Plus, Lisbon’s charming trams operate in the area, with a stop a five-minute walk away, so you’re easily connected with the rest of the city.

Views Over Breakfast

This home is a peaceful city oasis, perfect for those who want to escape the city noise. Furnished with a love for rustic elegance, it gives off a sense of fairytale glamour. Most of the furniture has been hand-picked and brought over from Indonesia by the host in search if the perfect textural patterns, giving this home a harmonious vibe in every room. While we loved the hand-carved details and the woodwork in the living room, our favourite is the traditionally paved terrace – perfect for lazy afternoon lunches. 

Fay Well

Located just a five-minute walk from the Praça do Marquês de Pombal, this colourful home is an ideal base for those looking to experience a more local side to Lisbon. Inside, the living room pops in shades of mint and sage while wall-length windows let in plenty of natural light. The bedroom, too, boasts the same large windows and herringbone floors, with its striking black and sand-coloured walls creating a peaceful space to retreat to after a day of seeing the sights. After enjoying a soak under the shower in the subway-tiled bathroom and sitting down to coffee and a pastéis de nata at the Scandi dining table, head out to explore your surroundings. The Parque Eduardo VII is a five-minute walk away, the Santa Justa Lift is walkable in twenty-five minutes, while the shop and restaurant-lined Avenida da Liberdade is a thirteen-minute stroll from your door. 


Juniper & Moss

Doorman

Located near Marques de Pombal roundabout, Rafael is a rustic-chic affair surrounded by posh boutiques and restaurants –  a delightful mix. The host has preserved the original corniced ceilings and the regal doors, as well as the kitchen that's itching to be used. The second bedroom does lack privacy – you can only access the master bedroom if you go through it. But if you're happy with that layout quirk, then you'll thoroughly enjoy this traditional home.  

Rafael

Set on a typical cobbled street, full of restaurants and cafes, and close to the luxurious Avenida da Liberdade, this traditional home can be found in a historic building. Freshly renovated and flooded with natural light, it's a cheerful space that's perfectly located for those wanting to explore Lisbon like a local. The pine floor is bright and comforting, while the large, open-plan living space has several big windows and two sets of doors opening to a narrow balcony that overlooks Jardim do Torrel – perfect for an afternoon walk. The kitchen isn't huge but it's well-equipped and there's a pretty dining table for evenings in. An apartment on two levels, a modern staircase leads up to the bedrooms in the eaves (we love the big master bedroom). Just a few steps from probably the most desirable avenue in the city, it's easy to get around from here too – it runs from the heart of the city centre to the Marquês de Pombal square.

The Great Wave

Located just a two-minute walk away from Avenida da Liberdade, this home is a great stay for those interested in a little shopping during their trip to Lisbon. It's a lovely spot to hang out between adventures, with parquet floors and decorations made by local Portuguese artists. This home gets great natural light at all times of the day, thanks to the wall-wide windows in both the living area and the bedroom. However, we think you'll want to head up to the fabulous shared roof terrace, where you can chill out on the up-cycled furniture and sip a cool drink while admiring the views over the Marquês de Pombal neighbourhood. This district is known for its eclectic collection of eateries and luxury boutiques, but is also well-connected to the older parts of the city. Simply stroll to Bairro Alto and Chiado in around half an hour, or hop on the metro – it's just at the end of the street.

Juniper & Cream

Housed in a traditional Pombaline-style building, this sunny spot in Principe Real is perfect for those exploring the city. Uncover the boutiques, bars and art galleries of neighbouring Bairro Alto, less than a fifteen minutes' walk away or go for a cultural day trip to Sao Jorge Castle, only a half-hour wander from your door. Back inside, you'll find modern and clean interiors with comfy furnishings that hark back to Portugal's historic roots, creating a cosy and homely feel from the get-go. Continue socialising over a glass of red as you cook for your guests in the open kitchen-dining area, benefitting from marble surfaces, artist lighting and stylish chairs. The home's warm colour palette (think red, orange and yellow) makes for a friendly living space where you'll enjoy relaxing after a day spent discovering this thriving city. Of course, with Lisbon's glorious climate, you'd be amiss not to have your own private balcony where you can soak up the sunshine, sip your morning espresso and watch the world go by below – so, naturally, there's a wrap-around terrace at the front and another balcony at the back of the apartment.  

Agreement In Principle

A mixture of rustic chic and fairytale glamour, this home is a peaceful oasis for those who want to avoid the hustle and bustle of central Lisbon but still stay within reach of the sights. Most of the furniture has been imported from Indonesia by the discerning hosts, and we think you'll love the intricate textures and soothing colour scheme. The patio, complete with a small plunge pool, is a quiet, sunny spot ideal for quick breakfasts and long, lazy lunches. You'll find Rato Metro stop just a minute's walk away, meaning it's easy to whizz into the centre of the city. The popular neighbourhood of Bairro Alto is just a ten-minute walk away too, with its famous steep streets and bohemian flair. 

Fay Garden

We loved the original (and revamped) architectural elements in this home – the bare stone walls, the window shutters and the open-plan setup of the communal areas. Perfectly harmonised with the loud modern furniture, the traditional touches of Solar Fuchsia speak volumes about the host, who is a Lisbon-based architect. Looking out, one can see a typical cobbled street with local cafes and restaurants, but just like this home, a mixture of old and new is slowly transforming Rua São José into a modern street with a respect for its heritage.  

Solar Fuchsia

Ideally located opposite Praça dos Restauradores, this carefully curated apartment offers a comfortable, central base from which to explore Lisbon’s most celebrated sights. 
 
Step into the open-plan living area where tall ceilings, wood floors and a kaleidoscope of colourful furnishings await. Make yourself comfortable on the plump sofa with a cup of fresh coffee and a locally bought pastel de nata, or perch by the Juliet balcony with a glass of Portuguese wine after a day of exploring the city. The dining table beckons sociable soirées when you’re not out sampling the local dining scene, while the two pared-back bedrooms offer a sound night’s sleep. Factor in the pair of sleek bathrooms – one of which has a luxurious rainfall shower – and you've got everything you need for a relaxing stay. 
 
Outside of your home, you’ve got plenty of cultural hotspots nearby, including the Santa Justa Lift (a seven-minute walk), the Carmo Convent (also a seven-minute walk), Praça do Comércio (a fifteen-minute walk) and lively Pink Street (a twenty-minute walk).

Stay in one of Lisbon's most prestigious avenues, Avenida da Liberdade, in this stylish apartment with a 24-hour concierge and shared indoor pool. Though the kitchen is a little sparse, it’s got all the essentials for quick breakfasts and at-home lunches. Double glass doors lead to a private terrace with a table and chairs for tipples outside and an astroturf lawn. Or, head out to the fado bars and restaurants of central Lisbon, all within easy walking distance.

The Eucalyptus

Beautifully decorated and centrally located, this Lisbon apartment has a lot to offer. It’s great for remote workers, with a dedicated office that’s separate from the living and sleeping areas. The well-equipped kitchen and cosy decor also make this a wonderful choice for a long-term stay – you can even bring your pet. The balcony is a lovely touch, too. The views are slightly blocked by a tree, but you can always take in the quintessential Lisbon street views from the living area’s Juliet balcony. In terms of location, Avenida Liberdade and its shops, restaurants, and cafes, is close to your base in Santo António, and a stroll through Parque Eduardo VII is a must.
