La Roux: Lisbon

Located between Maritim Moniz and Intendente, this stylish and sophisticated home is in one of Lisbon's trendiest neighbourhoods. If you want to visit some historic sights, Lisbon Cathedral and São Jorge Castle are both around a twenty-minute walk away. Or it's a mere five-minute walk to Intendente metro station. But the neighbourhood has much more to offer than just the proximity to the sights - this is a multi-cultural area where you're just as likely to find extraordinary Nepalese restaurants as you are Portuguese pastries. Inside this apartment, every room here is a treat to spend time in, but if we had to choose a favourite, we'd go for the rustic kitchen with its huge, sturdy wooden beams and butcher's block table. There’s even views over towards São Jorge Castle. Open the French doors onto the balcony in the morning and enjoy your first coffee of the day, or relax in the plant-filled garden room, flooded with light. This home is a dream.


Home truths:
*There are only two bathrooms for a maximum occupancy of eight
*There's no elevator to this fourth-floor home – something to bear in mind for those with limited mobility or who have a lot of luggage
*At the full capacity of eight, two guests will be sleeping in the second livng space on the top floor
