Blue Glaze

The bustling, boho neighbourhood of Bairro Alto offers an array of drinking and dining spots to keep you entertained after dark. But while it’s well known for its night scene, its independent shops, cafés, and bakeries will keep you busy on warm afternoons. As well as local delights, you can also easily reach the city’s iconic sights. From this apartment, visit the neo-gothic Santa Justa Lift in eleven minutes, or reach Lisbon’s historic cathedral in under twenty.

Although you might be focused on visiting every corner of this colourful city, colour really does begin at home. The bright blue exterior of your building stands out against the pink hues of neighbouring apartments, but matches the sunny skies above. And inside, the azure theme goes on beneath your feet. Gorgeous, blue-tiled floors feature throughout the home, creating a relaxed atmosphere with a nod to the nearby River Tagus.

While the furniture and decor offer a minimal Scandi vibe, complete with wicker and wooden elements, your host’s extra offering is anything but minimal. Airport pickup, private chefs, spa treatments, culinary experiences, and city tours are just some of the luxe services your host will be happy to help with.

Home truths:

*This apartment is one of five in the whole building, all managed by the same host
*Guests are kindly asked to respect quiet hours between 10 pm and 8 am
*Every room has single beds, including the main bedroom – its king bed consists of two singles joined together with single bedding, so you can keep them together or separate them
*Parking isn't available, but the Elevador Da Glória tram stop is a one-minute walk from home
*There's no dedicated workspace, but plenty of laptop-friendly spots like the dining table
*Given the central location, expect to hear some noise throughout your stay
