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.
