Barrio Alto’s vibrant array of restaurants, independent shops, cafés, and bars makes it one of Lisbon’s best spots for day and night. Set over a series of hills, the area might sometimes feel challenging to explore – but always worth it for a striking view. Or to make things a bit easier, you can admire the city from your own rooftop home, or the Santa Justa Lift, only eleven minutes away. In this peaceful street, you’ll find traditional architecture and exteriors with famous Portuguese tiles and colourful facades. Your apartment building is covered in glazed blue tiles, matching beautifully with the clear blue skies. Inside, blue is a continual theme, but this time for flooring. Glide across these tiles as you admire modern, understated furniture in the living space, with woven and wicker elements completing this relaxed feel. And it’s all illuminated by sunlight streaming in through huge, sliding doors. Follow the light to your private outdoor terrace, where you can sit every morning with your espresso alongside terracotta rooftops. But when the afternoon sun heats up, take shade under the parasol with a glass of douro in hand.
