Boho Bairro

Boho Bairro: Lisbon

Moroccan-inspired, this home in Lisbon is oozing quirky character and modern charm. By contrasting the whites and browns of the neutral colour palette with pops of burnt orange and bright green plants, the space almost feels like a desert oasis. Along with the statement wall pattern in the lounge, the curved alcove in the bedroom, and the concrete kitchen, this home is striking in its individuality. The use of the natural materials might have something to do with the eco approach, which also makes this an environmentally friendly option for anyone looking to explore Lisbon.

Spend lazy mornings on the sofa, listening to records with a steaming cup of coffee. When you’re finally ready to head onto the colourful streets of Lisbon – hopefully partly in search of pastéis de nata – start with the ornate Arco da Rua Augusta, only thirteen minutes away on public transport. Enjoy meals at any one of the surrounding cafes and restaurant, or come back home to put something together that you can enjoy alfresco.

Eat, drink, and be merry and once you’ve watched the sunset from the balcony, kindle the fire in the outdoor space and sit under the throws as you watch the flames dance, a glass of wine in hand.

Home truths:
*Parking in Lisbon can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to the easily accessible public transport where possible – though we think the best way to see the city is on foot *Hen and stag parties are not allowed at this home *This home is in a central spot, so noise is to be expected *There's a dedicated workspace here if you need to catch up on some work during your stay
