Fay Basin

Fay Basin: Lisbon

The host has made it their goal to create the epitome of fairytale glamour. His quest to find the best furniture for the job has taken him all the way to Indonesia, which is where most of the hand-carved pieces have come from – from the wood slice coffee table to the bedroom doors. This home doesn't get as much light as it deserves, but it's illuminated with well-placed lights in every room. The stone-paved terrace with a little pool is our favourite part of this home, perfect for late afternoon cocktails.

Home truths:
* Although this home can accommodate four guests, the third and fourth guest will be sleeping on a sofa bed in the living room
* The home manual isn't great, but the host is working on improving it
* As the only bathroom in this home is an ensuite to the master bedroom, the third and fourth guest will have to go through it to use the bathroom
* At the moment, the host only provides one pillow per person
* We spotted some stains and scuff marks in this home, especially in the kitchen
* The master bedroom bed is actually comprised of two single beds pushed together
