Chiado Rooftop Apartment

In the heart of Chiado lies this gorgeous three bed apartment, right in the historic centre of Lisbon.

This open, light and spacious apartment has been done up in a modern, colourful scheme that seems to feed off Lisbon’s creative energy.

The main room of the apartment is the huge sitting room at the top of the apartment, with large sloping windows shedding light onto the room, a central square sofa that has seats looking out onto all sides of the room and waxed wooden floors. This room features a large flat-screen television and kitchenette, and on one of the walls is a state of the art mural that features an image of a sailing boat crashing through waves.

A large stone staircase leads down to the rooms below. There is a huge wooden dining table situated at one end of the room that can seat all the party comfortably.

In the bedrooms, chandeliers hang from the ceilings, juxtaposed with flower-print wallpaper and crazy colour schemes are employed in the most stylish of manners. One of the rooms is its own suite, with blue, black and white patterning on the ceiling and some of the walls, set against other walls of bright white and billowing white curtains. Velvet upholstered chairs and a chaise long feature in the attached dressing room, which leads through double doors onto a magnificent bedroom complete with overhead hanging white curtains and a large window to overlook the beautiful city below. Another of the rooms features two large twin beds and is done up in a white scheme with the occasional pop of green or yellow. This bedroom has stunning double windows facing the beds that again offer incredible views of Lisbon.

The third bedroom also has two larger than usual single beds, but this one is done up in a more effeminate theme, with a few hints of pale pink and some decorative flowers painted on one wall.

A further chill room/ office features that can also be turned into a bedroom occasionally. Normally though, this room has a desk for those who need to do a couple of hours work during their stay. This room also has its own plush sofa, in case those workaholics feel the need for a little break. Last but not least, a small private balcony gives views of the red tiled roofs of Lisbon and the sea beyond.
