Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
The azulejos-clad facades of this Alfama bolthole are firmly planted in old Lisbon. But step inside, and this contemporary home with a small balcony overlooking an inner courtyard is bang up to date. Each minimalist bedroom has a separate bathroom, although the last two guests will share a double sofa bed in the lounge. It’s also worth noting the kitchen is compact. But with tapas bars in the cobbled streets below, we think you’ll be eating out instead. Set in the history-rich Alfama district, the tram line running outside the home will be handy. And never fear – those soundproof windows will keep things quiet when it’s time to hit the sack.

Home truths
This home sleeps six guests, with the last two guests sleeping on a double sofa bed in the lounge. We think this bed is better suited to short stays or children sharing.
You’ll check into this home with a keypad and code.
There's a small desk space for remote working.
We think the kitchen is better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.
While the small balcony area on the communal stairwell is a bonus, it's not the most private of spaces and will feel overlooked.
Your host asks you to respect quiet hours from 10pm to 8am.
The home is close to the tram line, but soundproofed windows help with the noise of the passing trams.
