This home is decorated with gentle cream tones and chic, modern furniture – in stark contrast to the medieval streets of Alfama that encompass Modern Fadista. Unlike the majority of homes in this neighbourhood, there's an abundance of natural light in both the communal space and the bedroom. And if that's not enough sun for you, then there's always the balcony with a gorgeous view of the river.

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...

Take part in a jam session at Tejo Bar
An old and famous bar that often has local musicians playing. If you're feeling inspired, you can grab an instrument and let your inner artists out!
Sample Portuguese ice cream at Gelateiro d'Alfama
