Bica Colares

Bica Colares: Lisbon

Luxurious and elegant, this art-deco styled apartment is truly dazzling. You'll be in the heart of historical Bica, perfectly placed for exploring all that Lisbon has to offer. It's a few footsteps from the famous Elevador da Bica, while the Time Out food market is a short walk from your door. Stepping inside, you'll immediately know you're in for a special stay here, as you pass through the art d'objet on display in the rich red and gold hallway.

Curated by a renowned designer, all rooms have been given a thoughtful, high-end touch – from the purple-coloured velvet sofa to the crushed velvet carpet, ornate wallpapers, and sleek built-in TV – you'll feel a world away from the hustle and bustle of Lisbon life below. Rustle up a hearty breakfast in the fully-equipped chef's kitchen, before gathering your group around the stunning marble dining table. The three bedrooms are just as appealing with their grand beds and chic wallpaper prints, plus there's a Juliet balcony, ideal for perching over with your morning coffee.
