Das Fontainhas - 2 bedroom apartment in Lisbon

Although this designer Lisbon apartment's setting near the Congress centre adds executive appeal, its proximity to the beaches also makes it an attractive holiday pick.

Those full ceiling-to-floor windows are a unique feature, which bring out the colour and lend well to the high-polish fittings, amplifying that sophisticated modern look.

Spacious and elegantly equipped, with great connections to Lisbon's cultural core or the tranquil beach suburbs, the Das Fontainhas is a lesser-known luxury find in Lisbon.

The apartment is located in the newly hip Alcântara district of Lisbon, at the impressive Ponte 25 Abril bridge, which crosses the Rio Tejo to the Cristo Rei monument.

The Docks area of Alcântara is abundant with restaurants, bars and vibrant nightlife. A quick walk along the river will take you to the Belém Tower and Jerónimos Monastery.

Fast public transport connections take you into Lisbon's popular Bairro Alto and Alfama districts in about 10 minutes.
