Casa R & R

Casa R & R: Lisbon

Located a ten-minute walk from Lisbon's waterfront, this contemporary pad is equipped with everything you need for a memorable stay. If you're not drawn in by the large communal pool and slick fitness room, maybe the dreamy interiors will convince you that this is the place to be.

This apartment makes a strong case for boho decor, where rattan and wicker furniture blend in among earthy tones and flourishing indoor plants. Sleek kitchen units keep the open-plan living modern – and encourage you to try your hand at Portuguese cooking. Outside, the large private terrace is the perfect hangout spot to dine al fresco and sip sangria in the last of the day's heat.

You'll be well-placed to explore the city's finest attractions, from the Time Out Market – just an eight-minute walk away – to the bustling bar-fringed Praça do Comércio. When the opportunity presents itself, hop onto the iconic yellow Tram 28 and let it take you to the hilltop castle that watches over this beautiful red-roofed capital.

*The private terrace is accessible from the kitchen and one of the double bedrooms

*Because of the location, some city noise should be expected – light sleepers might want to bring earplugs just in case
