Located just a five-minute walk from Lisbon’s main shopping street Avenida da Liberdade, this bright home is the perfect base for those looking to explore the city on foot. Contemporary decor blends with traditional touches – like the patterned floor tiles and stone arch in the kitchen – to create a welcoming and characterful space that feels effortlessly Lisboan. We love how much natural light pours in through the windows and French doors that lead out onto a sunny balcony. Sit here in the morning with your coffee and pastéis de nata while taking in views over the city’s red rooftops. After a relaxing soak in the beautiful green-tiled shower, head out to explore your surroundings. Aside from the show-stopping shopping options on your front door, you’re just a fifteen-minute stroll from the Bairro Alto district’s Fado bars and the Carmo Convent, while a twenty-five-minute walk will take you right into the heart of the historic Alfama.
