Description Hillside Pianist: Lisboa

With incredible views over São Jorge Castle hill, this apartment in Lisbon's historic Alfama district is a laid-back pad perfect for those wanting to get the most out of the city. Sleek and minimalist, the home’s interiors let the views do all the talking, with the living room’s balcony inviting morning coffees and sunset drinks while feasting on the vistas. The bedrooms, too, are elegant and simple with picture windows proffering more sights and the master’s window-facing desk making work a treat. We love the piano by the kitchen, perfect for getting evenings off to a fun start before hitting the neighbourhood’s buzzing bars and restaurants. With São Jorge Castle reachable in ten minutes by foot and the Santa Justa Lift just a fifteen-minute stroll away, this home puts you at the beating heart of Lisbon’s history and culture.
