Delivering one of the best views of Lisbon we’ve seen, this sophisticated penthouse apartment set in the historic heart of Alfama is sure to impress. Inside, the impeccable interiors with curated artwork speak for themselves. But a special mention has to go to the elegant primary bedroom, with pretty balcony views, a dressing room and spa-worthy ensuite. While its perch in one of Lisbon's oldest suburbs captures the best views of the Tagus River (just wait until you see the sunsets), you’ll need to be prepared to climb some hills in this district. But in Lisbon, that’s just the norm, and the tram is just a few minutes from your door.

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...
