Dona Graça
LISBON / GUESTHOUSE / TRIED & TESTED
Perched on a hill in the picturesque neighbourhood of Graça in Lisbon, these restful apartments are an enclave of calm just a stone’s throw from a thriving local scene. On your doorstep are grocers overflowing with fruit & vegetables, residents doing their daily errands as well as the bustling flea market, held each Tuesday & Saturday, the Feira da Ladra.
One of the only Design Escapes in Lisbon with a garden & pool, a stay at Dona Graça feels like settling into a home away from home, one where you can choose to get lost amongst the streets outside or retreat inwards for a day poolside before supper under the orange trees at next door restaurant, Plano, which serves up divine seasonal fare. Don’t forget to pop out for a glass of natural wine at funky local wine bar Vino Vero.
