With a soothing blue colour scheme that echoes the eye-catching azulejo tiles that adorn the front of this immaculately restored 18th-century building, this one-bedroom apartment offers a stylish sanctuary close to the heart of the city. With high ceilings and large windows facing in every possible direction, the interior is well illuminated throughout the day, meaning that whether you're looking to curl up on the sofa with a good book or fire off a few emails at the desk, you won't struggle for energising natural light. Sleek leather and traditional Portuguese wicker chairs ensure plenty of comfortable seating options, in addition to the sofa (which can convert into an additional bed). The calming minimalist decor of the bedroom will help you drift off in no time, while those eye-catching tiles make an appearance in the bathroom for the ultimate sense of place while you enjoy a soak in the tub. Return home at the end of a day of discovery and dine at the spacious six-seater table, or head out to any one of the many top-notch restaurants within walking distance. For informal eats, the food stalls at Lisbon's Time Out Market serve up delectable dishes that won't break the bank. Alternatively, seek out delicious seafood at the former riverside warehouse, Kais.
