Housed in a historic building in Lisbon’s peaceful, hilly Lapa neighbourhood, this bright apartment is the ideal base for those looking to experience a more local side of the city. Inside, wood floors, corniced ceilings and French doors leading onto a Juliet balcony create an elegant first impression, while the laid-back bohemian furnishings make you instantly feel welcome and relaxed. We love the sunny dining area here, perfect for starting mornings off over breakfast as the breeze flows through the doors, and the cosy kitchen area with its blackboard wall. The bedrooms feel soothing in their neutral, natural tones, while the large windows give way to views of the Tagus River and the city's emblematic red rooftops. . When you’re not relaxing at home, go out and explore your surroundings. You’re just a ten-minute walk from the beautiful Estrela Gardens, while a twenty-minute stroll will take you to the famous Time Out Market Lisboa. You’re also just a twenty-minute walk from the bohemian Bairro Alto district, where cobblestone streets house centuries-old houses, vivid street art and traditional Fado bars that wait to be discovered.
