Contemporary and illuminated, this impressive apartment invites you to experience Lisbon from your own calm retreat. Located in the cultural neighbourhood of Restelo, the hidden gem of the city, you can make the most of your location – whether that’s at one of the independent-owned galleries nearby, sampling the small plates at one of the local seafood restaurants or enjoying a glass of brut from your private garden – a rare city oasis. Inside, minimalism meets modernism. A bright open-plan space, adorned with timber fittings and mid-century furnishings, flaunts a pleasing canvas of sleek wood floors, statement glass staircases and floods of natural light. There’s a free-flowing feel here – spend your morning coffee out on the sunny terrace accompanied by the Tagus sea breeze, indulge in some me time with a good book in the bold blue library, or make the most of the sociable living area where you can share conversations, drinks and game nights all together. After busy days exploring the Belém Tower and Navy Planetarium, we can't think of a better place to hit the hay than in the plush bedrooms here. We love how well positioned this apartment is – take yourself on a culinary tour by... treating yourself to a flavourful array of Portuguese potiscos. Make sure to stop by Lx Factory – the 1846 industrial factory complex that is now a cultural hub of designers, artists and architects offering events, boutiques and eateries.

There’s a wealth of cultural and culinary delights to enjoy in this lively coastal area, from centuries-old monuments and world-class museums to the bakery that invented Portugal’s drooled-over custard tarts.
