Inspired by Indonesian rainforests, this bright apartment is all natural textures, earthy hues and plenty of leafy green houseplants. We loved the living space, with its comfy couch sat plumb among woven-rattan accessories. The impression of nature extends to the bedrooms where linen bedspreads and cool tones evoke both steadiness and comfort. After an extra-long snooze on a slow-start morning, begin your day at the dining table with a traditional Portuguese breakfast put together in your modern kitchen. Maintain your feeling of zen with a stroll around the Arco do Cego Garden, a two-minute walk away, before catching the metro into Lisbon’s downtown district – the journey takes no more than twenty minutes. Embark on a walking tour of the historic Alfama district, explore São Jorge Castle and tuck into pasteis de nata by the River Tagus. If you’re keen to swap the city for the sea, hop on the train to Cascais and enjoy a dip in the Atlantic.

Local guide
About Lapa
The hilly neighbourhood of Lapa favours those with high ambitions. The promise of the most amazing views over the Tejo river drives many visitors into its heights, and few are ever disappointed. The area is mostly upscale (some extravagant architecture is expected), but Lapa has maintained its quiet residential feel in the centre of the city since its aristocratic days. It's the perfect spot for a late afternoon stroll with lots of variety in terms of dining and fado houses with some of the best-renowned spots spread over this tranquil area.
