Absolutely Minted: Lisbon

Located in the heart of Chiado, Lisbon, this home – whose furnishing and lighting draw inspiration from Portuguese designers – makes for the perfect base for seeing the central sights that are on offer in this city. As you enjoy your breakfast, of Portuguese’s iconic Pastel de Natas, why not throw open the doors to the Juliet balcony for a fresh morning breeze?

Hop on a tram and explore Chiado, Lisbon until all of your bucket list has been ticked off. In the evening, if your feet are weary, sit back and relax on the sofa with your feet warming on the wooden floors, or get comfy in an armchair with your feet propped up on the foot stall. When it comes time to cook dinner, Portuguese pesticos are on the menu as you cook up delicious dishes in the kitchen.
