Blissful Unity

Blissful Unity: Lisbon

A split-level home that uncannily resembles a chic Scandinavian cottage is an unusual find in Lisbon – but maybe that's why it works so well. Hidden on a small square just next to Saõ Vicente de Fora Monastery (which even shares a wall with the building), sleek and professionally designed, Blissful Unity is a great mix of old and new features, which melds together traditional Portugueses design with modern, mid-century-inspired furniture. Just around the corner, the iconic Feira de Ladra flea market takes place twice a week – don't miss it!
