Tanrei

Tanrei: Lisbon

Elegant, modern and with a distinctly Japanese-inspired feel, this beautiful apartment just outside Parque Eduardo VII in Lisbon’s Santo António neighbourhood provides a wonderfully peaceful base. Paying homage to the serenity of mountain landscapes, the home’s design focuses on mellow, natural colour palettes, soft furnishings and wooden accents to create a wholly peaceful space in which to unwind. We love the delicate hanging fabric above the sofa and the bamboo shades on the French doors. Open these up to reveal three charming balconies overlooking a leafy boulevard – the ideal spot for morning coffees and glasses of wine at sunset. There’s a desk in the living room too should you need to catch up on work and a record player to get soirées around the dining table off on the right beat. The two bedrooms, meanwhile, are equally soothing, providing dreamy canvases for a blissful night’s sleep thanks to their warm, dark palettes and comfortable beds. Outside of your home, Avenida da Liberdade’s high-end shops are a ten-minute walk away, Parque Eduardo VII is walkable in eight and Bairro Alto’s cobblestone streets – lined with traditional restaurants and Fado bars – are fifteen minutes away by bus.


Home truths:
*This home has a private entrance – there is also lift access to reach the apartment
*You'll need to bring your own shampoo
*Keyless check-in is available
*There's no parking here, but we recommend skipping the car and making use of Lisbon's public transport instead – Picoas station is a four-minute walk away
*Humberto Delgado Airport is a fourteen-minute drive away or twenty-five minutes away by public transport
*There is only air conditioning in some rooms
*Because of the location, some city noise should be expected – light sleepers might want to bring earplugs just in case
