Views Over Breakfast

Located in the stylish Príncipe Real bairro of Lisbon, walking distance from the quaint shaded Praça das Flores, this top floor apartment has some of the best views Lisbon has to offer. The interiors are traditional yet fully updated, with abstract art and framed Joan Miró prints adding a contemporary edge. But it’s the balconies that really make this home. As soon as you wake up, settle into the sight of the terracotta rooftops and iconic Abril de 25 Bridge washed in the morning’s soft yellow light—it’s really quite something. Better still, there’s another small outside space at the rear of the property so you’ll never have to miss a second of the Iberian sunshine. Your neighbourhood is renowned for its selection of trendy restaurants, bars and gelaterias. Plus, Lisbon’s charming trams operate in the area, with a stop a five-minute walk away, so you’re easily connected with the rest of the city.

Home truths:
*The home is on the third floor with no lift and the stairs are quite narrow
*Your host can provide an array of services including home delivery of breakfast, a cruise on the Tagus, surf lessons, a helicopter flight and more
*The second and third bedrooms don't have much storage
*The fireplace is no longer operational, but merely decorative
*Your host provides an initial supply of toiletries, but you might want to bring your own to top this up
*You won't find a welcome hamper or basic essentials here, so we'd recommend packing some bits and bobs to get you started
