High Jinks

High Jinks: Lisbon

Old meets new in the most spectacular fashion at this uber-modern apartment perched along a quiet street in Graça, Lisbon's oldest and highest district.

A home for connoisseurs of contemporary design, it's the glass-topped atrium garden taking all the glory here – and rightly so. Cleverly connecting the bedroom and living spaces and flooding the home with natural light, the terraces are an atmospheric place to hang out come day or night.

Inside, the hosts have injected some serious personality and style into this home. Statement lighting and feature walls add interest, while colourful ceramics remind you Lisbon's streets aren't far away.

Friends or family sharing will love how spread apart the bedrooms feel for added privacy, and there's heaps of space in the living areas. While some of you rustle up a bite to eat in the made-for-action kitchen, the rest can keep you company at the breakfast bar stools or spill out into the lounge.

Lingering over coffees and pastel de natas in the quiet of the atrium, you'd hardly believe how central this home is. But Graça's authentic family-run bistros, fado houses, and intimate wine bars are just a stroll away. Or hop on Tram 28 (twelve minutes on foot) to blaze a trail into downtown Lisbon.
