Plates of Gold

Enjoy some of Lisbon’s best views from this split-level penthouse perch. Classic Portuguese windows look out over the shambling terracotta rooftops of the city’s old heart. Throw open the windows in each bedroom and wake up to the sound of the city coming to life. Light floods into the open kitchen and living room where plenty of plush velvet seats await, enough room for the whole group. Dining is casual-style, at the striking burnt-orange breakfast bar with teal velvet stools. On the edge of Chiado, you’re within walking distance of Lisbon’s top sights and experiences. Spend the morning exploring the historic streets of Alfama, packed with ancient churches and museums. Perhaps make the five-minute walk to Baixa in the afternoon and end with an evening in Bairro Alto just beyond. It’s just fifteen minutes back to your apartment from the fado bars and restaurants of Lisbon’s hippest neighbourhood.

Home truths:
*Apart from the breakfast bar, there's no proper dining area in this home.
*The host only provides the most basic spices and staples at the moment – avid cooks might want to look elsewhere.
*Your host provides an initial supply of basic kitchen essentials. For longer stays, you will need to buy additional dishwasher soap and espresso pods.
*The bedrooms have no storage space.
