Modern Fadista

This home is decorated with gentle cream tones and chic, modern furniture – in stark contrast to the medieval streets of Alfama that encompass Modern Fadista. Unlike the majority of homes in this neighbourhood, there's an abundance of natural light in both the communal space and the bedroom. And if that's not enough sun for you, then there's always the balcony with a gorgeous view of the river.

Home truths:
* There are steps in this home – those with limited mobility beware
* When we tested the WiFi, it wasn't fast enough for video streaming or other data-heavy tasks
* There's no oven in the kitchen, only a microwave
