Why Stay Here?
- Stay in Alfama, Lisbon’s oldest and most characterful neighborhood - Explore historic lanes, viewpoints, Fado spots and local cafés on foot - Visit the Museu do Fado, Sé Cathedral and São Jorge Castle from nearby - Experience a traditional local setting rather than a modern tourist district - A practical choice for short city breaks for one or two guests
Good to Know
- This is a compact 25m² studio, with the bed, dining area and kitchenette all in the same room. - The apartment is on the ground floor and the entrance opens directly onto a pedestrian street. There is no building lobby or internal corridor before entering the studio. - As the entrance is directly connected to the street, occasional pedestrian and neighborhood sounds may be heard. - There is no air conditioning in the property. - The main room has one window, so regular airing is recommended to keep the space fresh. As in many historic homes in Alfama, some humidity may be noticeable, particularly during wetter or cooler periods. - The street is pedestrian-only and cars cannot reach the apartment door. The final approach is on foot. - Alfama is a hilly neighborhood with uneven cobblestones and steps. - Comfortable shoes are strongly recommended. - During June, Santos Populares celebrations bring music, street food and a much livelier atmosphere to Alfama, sometimes extending late into the evening.
- 1 Double Bed (1,40 m x 2,00 m) - 1 Equipped Kitchenette - 1 Living/Dining Area - 1 Bathroom with Shower - Free Wi-Fi

Of all Lisbon’s neighborhoods, Alfama is the most bewitching. This is the city’s oldest quarter, it’s warren of narrow streets and crooked lanes steeped in history and are a joy to explore with amazing views on the top of Lisbon's highest hill.
Saved only in part from the devastation of the 1755 earthquake, Alfama was the moorish section of the capital. Now, it has the charm, the soul, the atmosphere and the small-town quality you dream about. Renovated homes are great deals and many often come with wonderful river views.
