Inspired by the jungles of South America, you'll find playful patterns, earthy tones and leafy green houseplants that add a real sense of zen and balance to this apartment. It's not just a case of style over substance here either, with an open concept layout that connects the living space, dining room and dedicated desk area for seamless modern living – ideal for those who are visiting on business. Elsewhere, wake up feeling rested and refreshed in the bright bedrooms – the master benefits from a canopy bed, the other, a vaulted ceiling and natural fibre headboard – both rooms are made up of hemp furnishings and artistic decor to create a serene environment to rise from. Days continue with a fresh coffee out on your private balcony, soaking up the warm Lisbon air while overlooking the stirring neighbourhood below. Speaking of, you're in the heart of the charming Bica area, so get out and head up to the Bica Elevator nearby for breathtaking views of the city. You're also a short walk from the quirky Bairro Alto district, the iconic Pink Street and many of the city's other historic landmarks.

Local guide
About Saldanha
Saldanha is the uptown business district of Lisbon, filled with designer shops and upscale restaurants that contrast the modern buildings where many locals spend their working days. But it's not like Saldanha closes down after five – there's plenty of residents who appreciate the neighbourhood's sleek look. As a consequence, Saldanha has a great fresh food market, a few cosy cafes, parks and everything else you might need for a great stay. The traffic connections are fast and abundant, meaning most parts of Central Lisbon are only a short train ride away.
