Check into this deftly designed urban pad, set right in the beating heart of Lisbon along a shady tree-lined avenue and close to Entrecampos Train Station.
Inside, we're into the rattan accents, objets d'art, and an array of house plants that subtly introduce a natural world theme to the home. But the clincher for us are those two balconies leading off the living area and bedrooms. Grab yourself a freshly brewed coffee (the pod machine can help with that) and pad across the cool parquet wooden floor onto the terraces to watch Lisbon's streets awaken below. Then throw together a quick breakfast in the kitchen area and join your fellow guests for a morning planning session around the wooden dining table.
When it's time to set off exploring, art lovers should make a visit to Museu Calouste Gulbenkian (a short walk away) a priority, famous for its epic collection of Eastern and Western art. Then carry on to Parque Eduardo VII with its sweeping views to the rivers – there's no better place to drink up the vistas of this electrifying city.
