The Ascension

The Ascension: Lisbon

Located in the heart of Baixa, this home is a stone’s throw away from Elevador de Santa Justa, which you can spot from the balcony. Inside the apartment, you'll find soothing tones and plants that create a sense of calm, high above the bustle of this vibrant neighbourhood. With the bedrooms at opposite sides separated by the living space, each with spa-like en-suites, the layout offers tonnes of privacy for small groups. Come evening, you can all come together at the table for a home-cooked meal, before rounding off the day with some alfresco drinks on the balcony. Or, you might like to head out, and visit some of the restaurants and bars this neighbourhood is known for. And, with several of the city's most famous landmarks within walking distance, you don't have to go far to tick off your sightseeing list.

Home truths:
* The kitchen is on the small side – cooking elaborate meals might be a bit tricky
*A travel crib and high chair can be provided if you're travelling with little ones
*There is no car parking at this house, so if you're taking a vehicle then you'll have to find a space in a local garage or on the street
