We love homes that are filled with art, and this bright apartment has more than just a few delightfully striking pieces. From the hidden portrait at the bottom of the lamp to the giant clothing pin, every room in this singular home hides a delightful surprise. Contemporary furnishings are spiced up with a sprinkling of antiques and work well against splashes of bright colour on the walls. It’s little wonder there’s an artist’s studio on the ground floor, belonging to a prominent local creative. Head out to the private leafy balcony giving way to views over Lisbon’s rooftops – the perfect spot to begin days over coffee and fresh pastéis de nata or to end nights over a celebratory glass of wine. With an elegant dining space here too, there’s no need to go out for a smart meal, but should you choose to do so, you’ll find a plethora of restaurants and bars within easy walking distance. Speaking of exploring, you’ve got plenty to see and do nearby, including São Jorge Castle (a five-minute walk), the Feira da Ladra flea market (a three-minute walk), Lisbon Cathedral (a twenty-minute walk) and bustling Praça do Comércio (also a twenty-minute walk). With the iconic Tram 28 stopping less than a five-minute walk away too, there’s no end to the cultural and historic delights that await.

Local guide
About Santa Clara
Located in the northern part of Lisbon, Santa Clara is a civil parish known as a frequesia. This is definitely a tranquil and residential neighbourhood, though thanks to the great transport links, you’re still in close proximity to central Lisbon. Start your day with a fresh coffee and pastel de nata from a local bakery, then enjoy a walk around Parque Oeste. From here, you can hop on the metro...
