Restless Stone

Hiding and simultaneously revealing the bones of this home shows a brave and playful sense of style that was put into decorating this home. Lioz stone surfaces against a wall of Viúva Lamego artisan tiles and the stripped-down wall in the living room connect the future and the past of this interior into an impressive home. Its thick walls keep the heat away even in the absence of air-conditioning – a testament to the original builders of the time – while statement lighting and carefully selected furniture add a minimalist vibe.


Home truths:
* Although this home can accommodate up to four guests, guests three and four will be sleeping on a sofa bed in the living room, which may also be too small for two fully grown adults
* There is unfortunately no lift in the building and the steps are quite steep
* The WiFi was a bit patchy when we tested, something to keep in mind for those who want to work during their stay
* There are no solid walls separating the living room and the bedroom, only a partition
