Pombaline Polaroid

This isn't your ordinary attic space—your fabulous host has expertly preserved traditional Portuguese design, while incorporating modern and eclectic elements to create a laidback, bohemian style. We particularly loved the industrial cast-iron bar stools and antique cinema seats in the living space. There’s a small balcony too, to enjoy your morning espresso and the first of the day’s sun before heading off into charming Lisbon. Contrary to its homespun interiors, your apartment is on the affluent Avenida da Liberdade, lined with trees and high-end retailers—it’s one of Europe’s most luxurious shopping destinations. From your picturebook Pombaline pad, it’s a gentle fifteen-minute walk to Baixa, Lisbon’s downtown district, filled with upscale eateries and bars, and ten minutes up hill to Parque Eduardo VII, with unmissable views of the city and the River Tagus in the distance.
