This is a small, comfortable home, covered in playful textures and patterns. With dominating warm tones and an occasional hint of gold, Flying Elephants succeeds in creating a warm sepia-tinted atmosphere that will have you feeling sunny regardless of the weather. A deeper look at the design uncovers a subtle wild animal theme, which adds to the character of what would otherwise be just a rental home. In spite of the stylish interior, it's the neighbourhood that we love most about this home – medieval Mouraria is a treasure trove of the city's rich history.

Local guide
About Graça
Graça is the highest point of Lisbon's seven hills, sitting just above the beautiful Alfama. You’ll find some of the best views of the city in this neighbourhood. Wind your way slowly up and down the cobbled streets, pausing at viewpoints to take in the pastel-painted walls of Alfama. The downside to the incredible views is the steepness of Graça – we advise taking it steady and calling in to local bars and restaurants for regular energy-boosts. As the sun sets over Lisbon, you’ll find your efforts in finding the perfect terrace worthwhile.
