Location-wise, it's hard to get more authentically Lisbon than the hilltop district of Graça. While the tourists might be wandering the winding streets of next-door neighbour Alfama, for those in the know, Graça is where it's at. This charming apartment is located in a particularly picturesque part of this lovely neighbourhood, with views of the city’s seven hills and iconic red roofs. The vista inspires the lively colour palette that we find inside this two-bedroom home. We love how the home maximises the available space with vibrant energy and cosy corners that make the most of every square foot. Granted, it’s on the fourth floor with no lift, but after a few days of training on Lisbon's hilly streets, you'll be at the top before you know it. Back down at street level, you'll find a quaint family-run cafe that's perfect for breakfast, while there's a bar next to the nearby church that's one of the best spots in the city for a scenic sunset. Most of the city's main sights are within a twenty-minute walk, and there are good transport links to take you back up the hill to your home at the end of a long day of exploring. Home truths: *There’s no elevator in this old building – you’ll have to climb forty-eight steps to reach the front door on the fourth floor *The staircase is quite steep and narrow *Watch your head on the sloped ceilings on the first floor *When we visited, the wi-fi connection wasn't the fastest *Child-friendly amenities such as a cot and highchair are available upon request
