Filled with upcycled furniture and quirky flea market finds, this Lisbon apartment is a one-off gem. The high ceilings and skylights in the open living area make the space feel large and light-filled, while the area beneath the mezzanine floor forms a cosy nook where you can nestle on the sofa over a book. There is a double bedroom in a separate room and a further two beds on the mezzanine. The compact kitchen is perfect for cooking cosy meals in, and there is space for four to sit down for a sociable meal at the rustic round table. Belém is a verdant neighbourhood, full of parks, museums and great local cafes. The iconic Jerónimos Monastery is an eight-minute walk away. After a dose of culture, head into the adjacent Pastéis de Belém, to sample the finest custard tarts in the city. For the sunseekers, the beaches of Cascais can be reached in thirty minutes by train. Meanwhile, if you happen to be visiting during the football season, there's nothing quite like cheering on Os Belenenses at the nearby Estádio do Restelo.
