All Aboard

Perched high above Lisbon's terracotta rooftops, this luminous apartment offers one of the finest views of the river. The special home features some great design details, such as the azulejo prints, and the raised mezzanine study for those who want to work or read in privacy. We love the open-plan living area, with three balcony windows pouring light into the space and a sleek kitchen where you can try your hand at Portuguese cooking. The bedrooms are tranquil, thanks to their minimal decor and top-floor position.

The location is as perfect as the interiors, with quick access to a myriad of historical streets and must-visit landmarks. Just a ten-minute walk away, you can enjoy a glass of something chilled at the waterfront Praça do Comércio. From here, wind your way up through Rua Augusta and take the Santa Justa Lift up to Chiado, arguably the heart of Lisbon. You'll pass a mosaic of artfully tiled buildings along the way – even if your itinerary was empty, you'd leave this breathtaking city feeling inspired.
