Casa do Rio

The moment you step into this house, you can tell the owner has impeccable taste. The open living area is a joy to relax in – kick back on the powder pink L-shaped sofa while you leaf through one of the coffee table books. With its earthy green palette, marble worktops, and full range of cooking utensils, you’ll love whipping up meals in the kitchen. Set across three floors, the rooms are wide and airy, and there is plenty of space and privacy for everyone. Downstairs, the two king bedrooms have en suite bathrooms, and there is a further bathroom with a bathtub for soaking in after a day of exploring.

On the top floor there is a serene, light-filled office space, from which you can step out onto the balcony that stretches across the front of the house, overlooking the Tejo river.

The home is in a perfect location for those wanting to enjoy the hustle and bustle of a city while being able to relax in the comfort and peace of a little village. Lisbon is easily reachable: walk 200 metres to Porto Brandao where you can catch a twelve-minute ferry to Belem, one of the most culturally significant and beautiful neighbourhoods in Lisbon. On sunny days, drive eleven minutes to the coast of Caparica and you will find miles of golden sandy beaches.
