A renovated 3-bedroom apartment in an 18th century building. Thick, original walls and exposed wood make this apartment a truly unique place to stay for your family or group of friends. One of its most interesting characteristics is the extended space provided by the lovely mezzanine that overlooks the comfortable and attractive sitting room with a unique “salamandra”, a typical iron heating device from old times (no longer in use, though). Comfort and character are the distinctive features of this apartment. It’s also next door to beautiful national monuments, antique shops and great restaurants where you can listen to Portugal’s traditional song, Fado, which has been part of UNESCOS’s intangible heritage since 2011. DESCRIPTION This unique ground-floor apartment combines an ancient structure with modern interiors and equipment. Original tiles, exposed stone walls, an original wooden front door and an 18th century wooden frame, the so-called “Pombaline cage”, form the ancient structure (which has been preserved in its entirety). The modern interiors are refined, in tones of wood, beige, yellow and orange, and include a mezzanine (only 1.75 m high) with an extra bedroom, a sofa bed and a working area. The bedrooms are cozy with very comfortable beds, but no windows, a common feature of buildings dating from the 18th century. But there is an excellent ventilation system, so no need to worry! Actually, the temperature inside the apartment always remains pleasantly stable as the apartment’s walls are original and extremely thick. As for the kitchen, you’ll love it! With its stone walls, original tiles and wooden table it’s like an old farmhouse kitchen! NEIGHBORHOOD Historical Alfama dates back to the time of Arab occupation (ca. 8th, 9th century AD), which is probably why it is packed with so many Fado venues, as the traditional Portuguese song is supposed to have been influenced by the Arab culture. Quite typical and not at all uncommon is to listen to Fado amateurs singing their hearts out from the inside of their own homes! This charming quarter is also jammed with centuries old monuments, quaint grocery stores, charming shops, a flea market and labyrinthine alleys. On foot, you can reach most of old, historical Lisbon. . On your way, you will also come across grocers, shoemakers and other artisans who have been selling their products for over 40 years! This is real, genuine Lisbon, with which most visitors fall in love at first glance. You can also marvel, day in day out, at the glistening Tagus river from Alfama’s highest spots. The Fado Museum is another of Alfama’s highlights. The apartment’s quiet alley is walking distance from some of Lisbon’s “relics”: 5 min to the Fado Museum, Panteão Nacional (where the Portuguese royal family and prestigious Portuguese are buried) and São Vicente de Fora convent; 10 min to São Jorge Castle or the Se Cathedral;15 min from one of the world’s most beautiful square, Praça do Comércio, and the elegant downtown buildings; a little further away, are the aristocratic Chiado and the alternative Bairro Alto with a trendy nightlife. Of course, you will also have to explore Belém – the Museum quarter. So please take a bus or a tram and spend some time there. Loads to see in Belém! Nearby, less than a 5 min walk, runs the ultra-famous 28 tram line which crosses some of the best historical quarters, as well as Santa Apolónia metro and train station which links Lisbon to the whole country. The metro network reaches a good part of Lisbon. Metro and buses can also take you to Cais do Sodré train station which serves the beautiful Cascais and Estoril summer resorts, or to Rossio train station from where you can reach Lord Byron’s beloved village of Sintra.

This location is ideal, within easy walking distance of several key attractions and many great restaurants. It is located on a short street with no outlet, so there is little foot traffic and no automobile traffic (except fo residents parking). The house is comfortably decorated. We arrived in the evening, and due to unforeseen events our check in process was different than we were expecting (our contact was detained and had to send us the codes to get into the building and meet us later). That said, he was very friendly and knowledgeable of the area and provided us with some great information. Similarly, the hosts have put together a comprehensive guide to their home (how to use everything within) and the area (suggested restaurants, public transport, etc etc) which we found very helpful. I've seen some reviews talking about the smell from the sewers coming up from the toilets (I saw this not just in reviews of this property, but others in Alfama). There is a bit of a sewer smell that wafts from time to time, but it was not a big deal. We found that keeping the lid down on the toilet was all we needed to do, and it was a small price to pay for staying in this really cool area. One thing to keep in mind about this property is that the upstairs ceiling is really low (probably about 5' 9"). This is mentioned by the homeowner and was not an issue for us. The only thing I would improve would be thicker mattresses, but even that was not an issue ##### Kristin V.

It is roomy and has so much charm, from the stone walls to the tiles. We appreciated having 3 bathrooms (with four women) and when it got hot, we just opened the windows and enjoyed the fresh air. I also loved having codes versus physical keys and the building was very safe/secure. Alfama is the best neighborhood and this is a great location within the neighborhood. Shops and restaurants and small markets were just around the corner and we ate dinner at local restaurants every night. Nuno checked us in and was so lovely, he gave us lots of recommendations and even sent me a follow up message on WhatsApp with more recommendations for food and shopping. I would stay here again and would recommend it! ##### Sarah H.

I couldn't recommend this place enough. The we comfortable slept eight guests, but the place could accommodate more. Just a street away there are shops, restaraunts, bars, and more, but it still if far enough removed to be peaceful and serene. We made friends with several of the business owners nearby and listened to plenty of Fado. Would 100% stay again. ##### Jacob B.

We were 7 and it was really tight. The upstairs has very difficult access and we were asked to leave it very clean which we did. If rent is that expensive in Lisbon, I would vacation elsewhere next time. ##### Mark S.

We did a day long bike ride with tour which was a highlight. The residence was very authentic- amazing design and architecture albeit a little small in terms of headroom for our American physiques- with 5 men at least 6 feet tall, the upstairs room and bathrooms are very tight. There was also a musty smell which I am sensitive to. Otherwise, the check on and response of the owners was excellent! ##### Abraham J.

Apartment has so much charm and character. Everything you need is there, including a washer and clothes drying rack!. And the location is ideal for getting around the city. However it is slightly challenging to get luggage into and up the street. Keep in mind that the bedroom on second level has a low ceiling difficult if you are over 5’8\. And the bathroom is tiny. But for a inner city apartment that is as old as it is it’s amazing to have 3 toilets! We really enjoyed our stay. And so will you. ##### Nicole W. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2022 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Kristeen G. 9 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy I’ll start with the pros: this is an exceedingly historic and charming property in a great location on a quiet alley/cul de sac. The showers are self contained, so no drainage issues. Cons: You have to meet someone to be let in which is a little stressful. The upstairs says it is 1.75m, however, this is not entirely accurate as the floor height varies, and all of the doorways are considerable shorter. This may work for very short people or children but this was NOT at all ideal for our crew, who sustained 2 minor concussions and a stubbed toe. Upstairs 1/2 toilet was not possible to use in a regular position, as the front of the toilet is too close to the wall. No windows. All in all, unfortunately, we would not stay here again, or recommend it to anyone else. ##### Kristeen G.

Tres bon accueil. Nous avons pu récupérer le logement plus tôt comme il n'y avait personne avant nous. 2 chambres au rez de chaussée et une grande chambre à l'étage avec 2 lits doubles (attention escaliers raides déconseillés à certaines personnes et douches en bas pour ceux qui logent en hauts mais pas du tout gênant. Il y a un petit lavabo et 1 wc à l'étage) Proche stations de bus et métros. Très calme la nuit. Café, thé sucre à disposition pour débuter le séjour. Très bon logement. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in May 2023 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Roberto S. 9 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Portugal Herbst 2022 Die Zimmer sind kleiner als sie auf den Fotos erscheinen.

We were a family of 6 and did not feel cramped at all. Nuno was very responsive and was helpful in determining activities as well as restaurants. The air conditioning was the best we had in Portugal. We would highly recommend this place to our family and friends. ##### Susan B.

The kitchen is very user friendly. The owners were very helpful and easy to get hold of. This unit is a five minute walk to Santa Apalonia train/bus/metro station. We could get anywhere we needed to thru that train station. The location is charming, right in the Alfama district. We were 2 couples and it was perfect for us. ##### Idie Z.

The location was great for some things, not so great for others, but if you want to stay in the narrow streets and walk to the overlooks, this is not a bad spot. On a very quiet back street, except when the neighbors go in and out the big door and up the steps. We felt safe at all hours. You have to walk a few hundred steps to get Uber, but a taxi can come closer. Easy walk from the train station, but right up the hill from the cruise ships, so the streets get more crowded when they show up. Do NOT ride in a TUK TUK. ##### Greg T.
