The House of Blue Lisbon

Property Description

From the street, this azulejos-clad apartment building set right in the heart of the happening Santos district is as quintessentially Portuguese as it gets. And inside this smart home, things only get better.

Immaculately styled from all corners, the apartment effortlessly fuses mid-century-inspired furniture and rattan textures. While occasional pops of colour from the traditional Portuguese-tiled splashback and modern textiles keep things vibrant and fresh. And there's no need to tussle for the best room here – both bedrooms are as beautiful as the next, with Juliet balcony doors opening out onto charming scenes of the cobbled streets below.

When the buzz of this waterside district finally lures you, you won't be disappointed. One of Lisbon's oldest neighbourhoods, architects and artists have reimagined its ancient buildings into a hip community of glossy shops, eateries, and clubs to keep the night flowing.

And when it's time to hit the city's other must-sees, the cobbled streets of Avenida da Liberdade and the dizzy heights of Basílica da Estrela are both within walking distance. Or hop on the nearby tram to blaze a trail to another corner of this captivating city.
