As one of the most budget-friendly city breaks for 2025, Lisbon is a wonderful choice for a holiday with loved ones, and while families come in all shapes and sizes, so do the Airbnbs here. The sunny Portuguese capital is famed for its quaint neighbourhoods along steep cobbled streets, and with a rapidly growing reputation as a European foodie hotspot, the Lisbon restaurant scene is also worth sampling. And while it tends to draw travellers for its city break offerings, families always find time to squeeze in a day by the coast, and are spoilt for choice by the many serene beaches in Lisbon.
Yet, gathering all the family in one place is enough of a challenge, let alone finding the perfect place to gather. Holiday planners tend to assume hotels are the easy option, but with plenty of homestays offering gorgeous pools and child-friendly rooms, Airbnb is a favourable option for finding the ideal spot which caters to all your family needs. Whether you're seeking a three-day Lisbon city break or monumental family reunion, we’ve picked seven of the loveliest Airbnbs for families in Lisbon for your next visit.

Two-bedroom pool apartment near Estrela park
It’s not always easy to find a smaller, city-centre apartment with a pool, but this Airbnb covers all bases. Peeking above the charming red-roofed neighbourhoods, the balcony here is commanded by a sparkling octagonal swimming pool, while smoky scents waft from the brick barbecue in the corner. Step through floor-to-ceiling glass doors to reach the airy lounge, stretching into the glossy black kitchen with a bar-style table and stools. Decor is unfussy yet elegant, like the pebble sculpture above the sofa, or the potted cacti on the kitchen counter, and both queen-size bedrooms are en suite. Families need not worry about feeling cooped up here either, as Jardim Da Estrela, one of Lisbon’s loveliest parks, is just across the road, perfect for letting off some steam while surrounded by duck ponds and landscaped gardens.

Stylish penthouse with River Tagus views
Scoring a perfect five-star rating from families on Airbnb, this home has plenty of perks for younger guests. The built-in projector screen and high-end sound system, for instance, create a cosy atmosphere for movie nights in, while the peaceful location in one of Lisbon’s more low-key neighbourhoods ensures undisturbed snoozes. The apartment itself is spread across the top two floors of a restored 18th-century building, and renovations are inspired by Scandinavian and Italian design. Funky rugs and floating staircases embellish the open-plan space inside, but the real showstopper here is the terrace. Start the day with a family breakfast at the garden table, shaded beneath a large white parasol and two olive trees, before returning at dusk for gleaming river sunsets while snuggled up on reclining deckchairs.

Bedrooms are spacious and interconnecting, as a door joins the queen-size room to the twin room, where a sturdy ladder then leads to the snug loft room tucked away above. While this Airbnb does not offer an outdoor area, it conveniently neighbours a public pool where all ages are welcome.

Here, find a cushioned hammock, heated L-shaped pool, and picturesque al fresco dining space, all surrounded by flourishing greenery. Sleeping arrangements include three dainty bedrooms and a sofa bed, plus baby cots and high chairs are available upon request. We love the location too. At the heart of Lisbon’s historic centre, Bica and its steep cobbled streets are famed as the home of Lisbon’s iconic yellow funicular, a family activity essential when staying at this Airbnb.

In the lounge, a large circular dining table awaits hearty family suppers, while a cosy library corner on the landing is perfect for curling up with a good read, with two leather armchairs beside stacked bookshelves.
