About this apartment rental

COVID-19 SPECIAL: As long as there are international travel restrictions in Portugal for booked dates, guests that now make their reservation, are allowed to change their booking dates without any penalty.

This self-catering 6-bedroom apartment, part of old Alfama, is a must if you enjoy views and traditional neighborhoods. In typical Alfama, where Fado was born, with extensive views over the river, cruise ships, and the misty south bank of the Tagus, this is the apartment for you! Six colorful bedrooms and 4 renovated bathrooms and a toilet, a living room with a honey-colored wooden floor and a lovely, private balcony is a fantastic environment for a large group of people. Its tastefully decorated interiors are constantly enhanced by the ever-changing sunlight reflected on the river, which can best be enjoyed at sunset, on the apartment’s balcony, with a glass of wine in your hand.

Officially registered as local accommodation: 353/AL

DESCRIPTION
This apartment is part of a renovated 18th-century building in the historic center of quintessential Alfama. High ceilings (3.30 m) and tall windows are some of the apartment’s features. Located on the 4th floor (no lift), it faces the awe-inspiring river front and the boats passing by. On Sundays, you can often witness sail boat races from the lovely French balcony, our favorite part of the house. The living room is spacious and tasteful. Classy yet informal, it has pure white walls, white painted chairs and wooden doors and, for a touch of extra elegance, just a few splashes of color. This room is next door to the charming dining room. Both rooms overlook the Tagus, as does one of the bedrooms. The other 4 bedrooms offer views over the apartment’s back and side street – overlooking the impressive National Pantheon and a cascade of little houses and striking buildings – and there is one windowless bedroom. They are all comfortable, cozy and brightly decorated. The 4 bathrooms and toilet have been renovated and the kitchen is fully equipped.

NEIGHBORHOOD
This typical quarter, close to monuments such as São Vicente de Fora convent or the Panteão Nacional, is home to souvenir shops, good value for money restaurants, the “Feira da Ladra” (the flea market on Tuesdays and Saturdays), the Fado Museum and also some of Lisbon’s best Fado venues.
Enjoying a traditional dinner to the sound of Portuguese guitars and the dramatic voices of Fado singers, will make you enter a state of inexplicable melancholy which the Portuguese call “saudade”.

This apartment is exceptionally well situated to explore the maze of winding alleyways, cobbled stone streets, old fountains and beautiful aristocratic façades. On foot, obviously. On your way, you’ll also come across grocers, shoemakers and other artisans who have been selling their products for over 40 years! This is real, genuine Lisbon, the one most visitors fall in love at first sight.

The apartment is within walking distance of some of Lisbon’s highlights: 5 min from the Fado Museum, the National Pantheon (where the Portuguese royal family and prestigious Portuguese are buried) and the convent of São Vicente de Fora; São Jorge Castle and the Sé Cathedral are about 10 min away; Praça do Comércio and downtown Rossio square no more than 20 min; aristocratic Chiado and alternative Bairro Alto quarters – about 25 min. Of course, you’ll also have to explore Belém – the museum quarter. So please take a bus or a tram and spend some time there. There’s loads to see in Belém!


Nearby, less than a 5 min walk away, runs the ultra-famous 28 tram line which passes through some of the city’s best historical areas, as well as Santa Apolónia metro and train station, which links Lisbon to all the major cities. 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 town of Sintra.

The location of this place is fantastic, magical and with so much character and charm, which makes up for the 4 floor walk up, something that is probably hard to avoid in such an old city. The bedrooms are nice, and beds surprisingly comfortable given they are all singles with some pushed together to make a queen, beautiful windows and clean bathrooms. We rented the 6 bedroom configuration, which we made work - we put the parents/couples down on the far end, with the teens in their own are. It's basically a long hallway with kitchens, bathrooms, and bedrooms off the hallway. The small living room and dining room are up front with a bedroom off the living room. It's a lot of space but laid out very long, so, lots of privacy in bedrooms but nowhere for 8 people to hang out in one place - which is fine, because you can go outside the building and there are restaurants and bars and cafes literally everywhere. We did so much walking and sight seeing, and this is truly the best location, so very cute and historical and beautiful. Just be prepared for the long skinny apartment and 4 flights walk up and you'll have an amazing time.

Gorgeous 4th floor walk up in heart of Alfama district, in old building with high ceilings, balcony overlooking the river. Apartment was well equipped and very comfortable for the 7 of us, could easily have accommodated more. Bedrooms are well separated by long corridor so it also affords time alone if desired. Blessed with excellent weather for the Christmas week.

This apartment was the perfect size for two families traveling together. There was plenty of space to spread out - each kid (ages 10-14) had their own room, and one room for each couple. While the living room was snuggly, the dining room providing just enough space for for everyone to be in a common area together. Communication with hosts was great, and the location was perfect for exploring Alfalma and hopping on the metro or train! As the post says, there is no AC - but plenty of fans, and most nights cooled off enough for it be comfortable (we had the misfortune of arriving on an unseasonably hot spell!).

We had a great time and it was a fantastic location. We did have an issue with the power due to having to run the space heaters. Other than that we really enjoyed our time here.
