Return of the Stone

Return of the Stone: Lisbon

Ideally located opposite Praça dos Restauradores, this carefully curated apartment offers a comfortable, central base from which to explore Lisbon’s most celebrated sights.

Step into the open-plan living area where tall ceilings, wood floors and a kaleidoscope of colourful furnishings await. Make yourself comfortable on the plump sofa with a cup of fresh coffee and a locally bought pastel de nata, or perch by the Juliet balcony with a glass of Portuguese wine after a day of exploring the city. The dining table beckons sociable soirées when you’re not out sampling the local dining scene, while the two pared-back bedrooms offer a sound night’s sleep. Factor in the pair of sleek bathrooms – one of which has a luxurious rainfall shower – and you've got everything you need for a relaxing stay.

Outside of your home, you’ve got plenty of cultural hotspots nearby, including the Santa Justa Lift (a seven-minute walk), the Carmo Convent (also a seven-minute walk), Praça do Comércio (a fifteen-minute walk) and lively Pink Street (a twenty-minute walk).


Home truths:
*There's a lift in the building to access the apartment on the second floor – please note that there are several steps leading to the elevator so it may not be suitable for those with limited mobility
*There's a laptop-friendly workspace
*As you're in a central location, you may hear some street noise
*The second bedroom looks out onto the central atrium, so doesn't have the most inspiring views
*The second bedroom's twin beds are pushed together
* The air-conditioning unit is on the Juliet balcony
*The building's entrance is shared with the other residents
*We recommend skipping the car here and using Lisbon's public transport instead – Restauradores station is a two-minute walk away
