Old world charm meets boutique aesthetics at this city-centre home. Sitting in the upscale Príncipe Real area, the stylish apartment has some of the city's best shopping haunts and independent eateries on its doorstep. And in just fifteen minutes, you'll find yourself in the heart of Lisbon at the café-lined Rossio Square. The well-outfitted space is housed in a 19th-century building, updated with sleek fittings and trendy furniture to make it a comfortable – and visually pleasing – city base. We love the plush bedrooms, decorated with a rich palette of green and black and elevated with punchy wall art. The living room is filled with light and kitted out with everything you'll need for your stay. Walk just five minutes from your front door to arrive at Jardim do Príncipe Real, a pretty public garden where buskers and market stalls often set up, creating a unique and dynamic atmosphere. Pick up a pastel de nata on the way and take a seat under the iconic cypress tree in the garden's centre.
