This apartment is just enchanting beyond words, and the moment you step out on the fifth floor roof terrace, and take in the magnificent views of park below, and the castle, church, and city beyond, you just know you’ve found a real gem.
Located along a hilly road that leads up to a park used mostly by locals and dog owners, the apartment is somewhat removed from the downtown hustle, and tourism traffic. A short walk up the hill, past the park will bring to you the very laid back neighbourhood of Graca. From Graca, you can walk down to one of the city’s most enchanting, labyrinth-like neighbourhoods – Alfama, which has a lovely local vibe, and plenty of old-world charm.
The view from the terrace would make a great postcard photo of Lisbon. I liked how the kitchen and closet blended in with the walls, which gave the space a very contemporary, streamlined look. The eclectic furniture items are truly unusual, and very pretty and colourful, so you feel like you are surrounded by rare, carefully curated treasures hunted down at flea markets, curio shops or art galleries. Plenty of light, and fresh air, magnificent views, and peace and quite, make this a top-notch choice for a holiday in Lisbon.
