The location of this apartment in the heart of Alfama is fantastic. It’s just a short stroll from Lisbon Cathedral, Cais das Colunas and the Arco da Rua Augusta, and you’ll be surrounded by a range of shops and restaurants. Another highlight is the amazing views of the River Tagus from this home’s balcony and living space – this room also has a sofa bed for guests five and six. We love the blend of Nordic and Portuguese-inspired furnishings, and the kitchens and bathrooms are elegantly finished with Portuguese Estremoz marble. This place, housed in a building featuring a classic facade adorned with traditional Portuguese ceramics, is perfect for a weekend or longer stay in Lisbon.

Local guide
About Alfama
As Lisbon’s oldest neighbourhood, it’s not surprising that Alfama is also the corner of the city with the most character. Here, you’ll get an authentic taste of the real Portugal, away from the tourist-trodden trails of the centre. Unlike most of Lisbon, this area survived the famous 1755 earthquake, preserving an image of the old capital. Steep, cobbled streets are flanked with down-to-earth cafés, crumbling churches and intimate fado venues...
