Lap up nothing but the sunshine and the River Tagus breeze from your enviable vantage point in Lisbon’s buzzing Bairro Alto. Wake up with breakfast in the bright living space, tucking into Portuguese pastries as terracotta rooftops and yellow and pink buildings glow with a radiance unique to Lisbon. Embrace the city’s easy-going ambience on your terrace. Sit back in the comfy chairs and relax with a freshly squeezed orange juice – or glass of local green wine, perhaps – and lose yourself to a page-turner. Your neighbourhood is a labyrinth of cobbled streets – quiet in the daytime and teeming by the evening, with Lisboetas and tourists alike enjoying Fado musicians and feasting on codfish in traditional tascas. A five-minute walk takes you to the trendy Principe Real area, while a fifteen-minute downhill stroll to the southeast places you right at the waterfront.
