Located right next to the leafy gardens of the Gulbenkian Foundation and Museum, this bright apartment is the ideal stay for those wanting to get away from the hustle and bustle of central Lisbon. Though this neighbourhood is set a little further from the busier stretches of town, there are plenty of places nearby to grab a cup of coffee, do some boutique shopping or tuck into a delicious dinner. And with a metro station just a ten-minute walk away, getting around the rest of the city is a breeze. You'll love retreating to this quiet neck of the woods after a busy day, and this sleek and cosy apartment is the definition of relaxing. With a modern kitchen, comfortable living room (the plush blue couch is perfect for lounging) and stylish bedrooms, you'll have everything you need to feel completely at home. Maria, your friendly host, even leaves a bottle of Portuguese wine for you to enjoy. Take it out onto the balcony – which overlooks the gardens – and savour it as the sun goes down.

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.
