Doce Azul

With its neutral palette offset by soft pastel accents, this bright apartment feels instantly calming from the moment you walk through the door. It’s minimalist and chic, with wood floors and large glass doors allowing plenty of sunlight to pour in, creating a perennially sunny impression in the open-plan living area.

Slide open the doors here to step out onto a private balcony – the ideal spot to enjoy your morning coffee or celebratory evening sundowner. And when you’re not out sampling the local restaurant scene, the cosy bistro-style dining table is ready to host intimate soirées over a bottle of Portuguese wine.

With a comfortable bedroom equipped with a desk space should you need to catch up on work, not to mention a sleek bathroom boasting a luxurious rainfall shower, you’ve got everything you need for a relaxing, carefree stay.

When it comes to exploring nearby, visit the Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Lapa – a five-minute walk – or admire the beautiful blue and white tile work featured on the walls of the Chapel of Souls, a fifteen-minute stroll away. You’re also a twenty-two-minute walk from the ornate Livraria Lello bookshop, while the bustling Cais da Ribeira waterfront is just over twenty minutes away by Metro or half an hour away on foot.
