Making a great first impression with an entirely tiled facade, in this restored building is where you’ll find your next city escape home. Echoing the blue and white theme of the ceramic squares out front, you’ll find that the crisp colour palette and minimal aesthetic of the home brings an openness to the space that encourages a very natural flow between rooms.

Thanks to the light streaming in, it’s also bright and we encourage you to throw open all of the large windows – don’t forget the Juliette balcony doors – to get the sun, breeze, and buzz of city life below inside. Go about reading on the sofa with a coffee, or sketching from the leather chair, surrounded by Lisbon and when you’re ready to leave your home and have the city envelop you entirely, you can start with a stop at Pink Street. Once you’ve walked under the umbrellas and had a cocktail with lunch, visit the historic Rua Augusta Arch, the museum, and many galleries.

Return home after a long day to enjoy a light bite at the dining table before sinking back into the sofa with sweet treats and your favourite singer crooning over the Marshall speaker. The neighbourhood does have quite a bit going for it in terms of nightlife, so if you’d like to explore it, head out to one of the local bars.
