Surrounded by history in the Alfama neighbourhood, this bright, modern apartment housed in a traditional Lisbon building offers a comfortable, central base from which to see the city’s most iconic sights. Though located in one of Lisbon’s most visited areas, the home’s quiet locale feels hidden away, making it a calm and peaceful retreat from the vibrant streets just moments away. Inside, wood floors, white walls and contemporary Scandi-inspired decor create a sunny and warm welcome with windows giving way to Tagus River views. Whether you’re starting mornings off with fresh coffee and pastéis de nata at the dining table or kicking back on the sofa with a glass of wine after sightseeing, you’ll love spending time in the open-plan main room. The bedroom, too, has been carefully curated with style and relaxation in mind, while the sleek bathroom with its chic pendant lights and faux plant wall invites plenty of pampering either in the morning or at night before hitting the city’s restaurants and bars. Speaking of things to do outside your home, you’re just a two-minute walk from São Jorge Castle, a thirteen-minute walk from Praça do Comércio, a fifteen-minute stroll from the Santa Justa Lift and just three minutes away on foot from the Miradouro do Recolhimento viewing point.
