Modern Alternative

Modern Alternative: Lisbon

This modern flat with an industrial flare sits in the sleepy coastal town of Cascais, less than a half hour walk from the picturesque seafront with its historic citadel, waterside bars, and golden beaches. Because the apartment is designed as a studio there is limited space, however, the bedroom section features a floor-to-ceiling screen that adds a sense of privacy should the sofa bed be in use. For those looking to explore the region, Cascais provides access to Lisbon and Sintra-Cascais Natural Park, both of which are within an hour's drive.
