Located in Lisbon’s laid-back Belém neighbourhood – known for its seafood restaurants and azulejo-clad houses – this bright apartment puts you in a prime spot to explore the district’s historic and cultural sights, as well as its sparkling waterfront along the Douro.

Modern yet with a bohemian touch, the home’s neutral palette with pops of pastels will instantly put you at ease. Make yourself comfortable on the plump sofa with a glass of Portuguese wine or perch by the windows while admiring the views of the Igreja da Memória with its striking dome. The table here beckons breakfasts of fresh coffee and pastéis de nata bought from the famous Pastéis de Belém bakery founded in 1837 (a twelve-minute walk away) or celebratory dinners when you’re not out sampling the local dining scene.

With a comfortable bedroom and a bathroom with a rainfall shower to boot, you’ve got everything you need for a relaxing stay.

When it comes to sightseeing, visit the ornate Jerónimos Monastery, a thirteen-minute walk away, or spend an afternoon exploring the MAAT Museum, a twenty-minute stroll from your door. You’re also a four-minute walk from the Jardim Botânico d'Ajuda, a twenty-minute stroll from the Padrão dos Descobrimentos monument, while the ​​Belém Tower is just under thirty minutes away on foot.
