A 4 bedroom apartment with a large terrace for your dinners on the warm Lisbon summer nights. Old tiles on the walls of one of the bedrooms, living and dining room facing the terrace dominated by a wooden deck, comfortable rooms and air conditioning complete the picture of an apartment idealized for families or groups of friends DESCRIPTION This fully renovated apartment is part of an old building in the heart of Alfama. Large, well decorated, full of sunshine, you will feel the good taste in every detail. Of the 2 beautiful ensuite rooms, one in shades of blue to match the magnificent 18th century tiles on the walls, the other in white and green, passing through the two other rooms, windowless but with air conditioning, nothing in this apartment was forgotten. This attitude is reflected in the decoration of the living and dining rooms, bright, modern and comfortable, opening onto a spacious terrace dominated by a wooden deck, perfect for extended breakfasts or candlelit dinners in the summer. The apartment also has lots of storage, honey-colored wooden floors, renovated bathrooms and a nice kitchen, totally refurbished, and a terrace, the perfect place for your children to play in complete safety. The many stairs and small cobbled stone streets in the neighborhood are an invitation to guests' fitness! (historic area without access to cars). Located in a typical Alfama alley with pots of plants in the doorstep of the neighbors. The street only has access by stairs that take you to the Largo das Portas do Sol, one of the most beautiful viewpoints of Lisbon. NEIGHBORHOOD For sightseeing, Alfama is probably Lisbon’s most interesting quarter, packed with monuments from 12th to 18th century, Fado venues, little restaurants and bars, and about 2 minutes away from the famous 28 tram which will take you through some of Lisbon’s highlights. The apartment is walking distance from the breathtaking Portas do Sol (“sun’s doors”) belvedere from where you can enjoy the river’s ever changing colors and the outline of Serra da Arrábida mountains. But you can also start to walk the downhill cobbled stone streets of old Lisbon to reach places such as the Fado Museu (4 min), Sao Jorge Castle and Se Cathedral (6 min), the breathtaking Praça do Comércio (12 min), downtown Rossio (15 min), and about 25 min away the aristocratic Chiado and the alternative Bairro Alto. If you prefer to walk uphill from your apartment you reach the Graça belvedere and the imposing 18th century Graça church (where you might listen to a church choir rehearsal on a Sunday afternoon) in about 10 min. Also in a 10 min range from this church, you will find the even more beautiful Senhora do Monte belvedere; typical Feira da Ladra (flea market) on Tuesdays and Saturdays; or São Vicente de Fora convent and its incredibly beautiful rooftop (please do not miss it!). This quarter is served by the 28 tram and some buses. However, if you walk downhill and reach the river side you will find buses that will transport you to Lisbon’s every corner (including the airport). Or, alternatively, take the metro in Terreiro do Paço or Santa Apolónia (both ca 12 min). From Rossio square you can walk across Baixa and reach Cais do Sodré train station which serves the beautiful seaside village/resorts of Cascais and Estoril (30 min), where the Portuguese and European royalties used to spend their summers in the late 19th and early 20th century or Rosio station from where you can take the train and visit the amazing natural jewel that Sintra is.

Everyone in our group of 7 loved the place. Highly recommended for people looking for a real Lisbon experience. While it is a little challenging being in an area with no motor vehicles, that was part of the charm of the unit and only added to our adventure. We saw so much as we traversed up and down the ancient cobblestone streets. ##### Gordon E.

Excellent stay. Very smooth check in. Amazing location (not overly accessible but we had no issues with that!). Beds were comfortable, AC in every bedroom. Lots of bathrooms. Terrace is beautiful and large. Only couple small factors that we gave 4/5 for are cleanliness (couple bathrooms were not overly clean upon arrival) and some kitchen supplies (eg could use an oven mitt and slightly larger frying pan would be great). ##### Kate F.

You can get anywhere in many different transportation modes around the city. The communication with the owners and the property manager was excellent from start to finish! We would highly recommend you stay here. ##### Wendy M.

Excellent location for immersing yourself in the city of Lisbon. Very clean and well-maintained. The property manager was great and very easy to communicate and deal with. Only concern we had was a group of women that the blinds/covers were inadequate in the common space and we observed the neighbors watching us closely. Highly recommend this space! ##### Charmaine S. Stayed 6 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Catherine M. 1 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Spacious apartment in Alfama This property is exactly as advertised: it's a beautiful space located in the Alfama neighborhood. It was a comfortable place for us to hang out with each other, even when rain kept us off the patio (which is huge!). Climate control in each room was great, and the rooms are sound-isolated from each other and the rest of the apartment. Someone could get up in the morning and make coffee without waking everyone else up. As is common in Europe, there is a washer but no dryer. There are, however, drying racks and heated towel warmers that do a great job on socks. There were only two keys, so we did have to do some careful management in our group to ensure folks doing different things could get in when they needed to. ##### Catherine M. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen R. 1 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Lisbon base We were a large group of 7 using this apartment as a base to explore Lisbon. Alfama is truly the oldest section, with extreme walking on very hilly narrow cobblestone streets. We loved the accommodations and enjoyed the terrace as well. All was well maintained although some where and tear is evident with some of the furniture and living room rug. It is an old neighborhood with many buildings encasing our apartment adding to the charm. Just down a narrow street is the best coffee and lunch shop, and just a few more doors down is a fabulous pastry shop. Our host helped with arranging luggage transport from the train station and also helping making arrangements for transport to the airport. Since it is the “historic” area of the city , the location was challenging for Uber and Taxi drivers to locate as google maps wanted to take us out of the city . We did figure it out and used the cathedral of St George as our destination and we were dropped off close to the apartment. Overall, the apartment worked well for us and would stay there again hopefully someday. ##### Karen R.

The layout worked really well for our group of eight people. There were two master bedrooms with their own bathroom, and then the other two rooms shared two bathrooms (one with just a toilet and the other one with a toilet and shower). The kitchen was well-stocked, and the living area was nice for hanging out. There was an outdoor balcony, but we didn't really get to use it because of the time of year we were there (and it rained!). ##### Colleen H.

Plenty of room for 3 couples and an outside terrace to relax in after a long day of sightseeing. Stocked with all essentials you’ll need for the first few days. Check in was easy.

Neighborhood is going through gentrification so there is a variety of homes/apartments at different levels of repair and restoration. Abundance of restaurants and transportation reasonably close. Car pickup or drop-off is inconvenient but doable. Walking, and steps to 2nd floor, are steep but not too challenging unless you are senior elders. Owners and their representatives were very cordial and available. ##### Tim R.

We used the baggage service that they recommended and this proved to be very useful, having our luggage collected at the airport and delivered to the property at check in time. The property is well maintained and in a very small street only taxis can enter the area but the closest they can get is about 100 yards away. There are 4 ways in and out from the apartment, one is up steps, two are up hills and the last is down a steep narrow street. You need to be able to cope wit stairs and steep hills. The 4 bedrooms were useful for our family of 3 couples. The 4th bedroom was used to house some of the luggage as 3 of the bedrooms are quite small. The patio is a welcome addition and was a nice place to relax and have a cocktail after a day of walking the streets of Lisbon. The small living room had a really dirty rug that should really be thrown out. A major failing of this property is the lack of mugs, glasses, plates etc. It can accommodate 8 people but there were only 5 coffee mugs. With 6 of us all wanting coffee or tea in the morning we had to take turns to use a mug! To add to that the dishwasher worked overtime with very small loads. ##### Anthony T.

Plenty spacious, well appointed, sunny and bright. Amazing location for staying in oldest part of city. You need to be fit and able to accommodate for the streets and stairs for this apartment , especially with luggage. Short walk to everything on hillside , but it is located at midpoint. Many great restaurants and bars and historic sights all around. ##### Victoria D. Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Karen J., Austin 19 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Would not rebook The house was not as pictured. Deck looks great, it is not. Small rooms, broken up, bathroom door squealed so loud when you closed it that it could not be used. No closet in one bedroom, poorly equipped. BUT the main problem is that there are cameras in the living room and halls of the bedroom. NOT ok. Owner was very good about arranging transportation as most of the companies can't find it and you have to walk 3-4 blocks up hill to get any transportation. Don't bring heavy luggage, between that and the stairs not easy. Great property for students/young adults traveling with minimal luggage and needs. ##### Karen J.

This property offered very good bedroom space and bathrooms for each couple; and was very clean, plus beds comfortable. The kitchen had all necessary appliances (ie standard coffee maker). We appreciated the outdoor space to sit outside for breakfast and/or evening wine. The neighborhood is quiet in the evening so good for sleeping. There was a bakery down the lane outside of the property and a mini-market a short walk through the quaint alley-like streets further for some essentials. Up the stairs from the property (3 min walk "up") brought you to beautiful views over Alfama/Lisbon (an easy walk to catch an amazing sunrise), and a rooftop bar nearby. There are plenty of restaurants walking distance. Additionally, if you come in by train, you can walk to the property (15 min) but would only suggest doing so with smaller rolling bags; otherwise, would suggest going by taxi/uber. Additionally, communicating with Paula was terrific. She was super responsive to all our questions, helped to coordinate our arrival, provided walking instructions and helped to arrange our departure taxis to the airport. I would definitely recommend this location when staying in Lisbon. ##### Jackie S.

The location is great in old town Alfama, where you need good walking shoes to climb hills, stairs and stone streets and walkways. Plenty of bars, restaurants, cafes and mercados available to get what you might need/want. Carlos was a fantastic host and was very easy to work with and extremely helpful. ##### Drew B.

There are many things to see in this area of Lisbon and lots of good restaurants can be found here too. ##### Molly D.

Right in the middle of a neighborhood with narrow cobblestone streets where local still live. Property was great and we enjoyed the outside patio. Had a few hiccups with some drivers not being able to find the location, but otherwise great. ##### Brenda B.

It was a little difficult getting there the first time, but great neighbourhood with lots of small shops, cafe and restaurants to try. ##### Deon V. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Fiona P., Henham, Bishops Stortford, UK 23 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely Apartment in Atmospheric Neighbourhood We were so glad to have found this unique apartment large enough to house a family gathering to celebrate my son's 30th birthday. Apartments for 8 are hard to find in the city. Situated in the heart of Alfama, the oldest, most historic and most characterful part of Lisbon, it provided deceptively spacious accommodation. The absolute selling point was having the outside terrace area in which to relax away from the hustle and bustle. As the listing describes, two bedrooms have no windows so having the lovely bright communal areas was fantastic (though the terrace is looking a bit more worn than in the listing). Paula and Nuno were extremely responsive and helpful before and also during our stay - I can't praise them enough. We absolutely loved Lisbon and we look forward to returning. ##### Fiona P.
