Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This cheery home embodies everything we love about Lisbon’s Alfama neighbourhood, from its bright colours to its traditional details. Housed in a beautiful pink building topped with the city’s emblematic red roof tiles, there’s something uniquely modern about this stylish home while remaining true to its historic surroundings. You’ll love waking up starting your day off in the luxurious marble en-suite, then walking out onto your beautiful private terrace for a sunny breakfast amongst the tiled ornaments and leafy plants. After catching up on some reading on the sofa or the bedroom’s zebra-striped armchair, head out to explore your surroundings – you couldn’t be better placed to get the most out of the city’s sights. São Jorge Castle is a mere five-minute walk away, the harbour-facing Praça do Comércio a fifteen-minute stroll from your door, while Bairro Alto’s Fado bars and hip restaurants are twenty minutes away on foot. Don't miss making a beeline for the Portas Do Sol Terrace at sunset too for awe-inspiring views over the Tagus, a four-minute walk away.

Local guide
About Graça
Graça is the highest point of Lisbon's seven hills, sitting just above the beautiful Alfama. You’ll find some of the best views of the city in this neighbourhood. Wind your way slowly up and down the cobbled streets, pausing at viewpoints to take in the pastel-painted walls of Alfama. The downside to the incredible views is the steepness of Graça – we advise taking it steady and calling in to local bars and restaurants for regular energy-boosts. As the sun sets over Lisbon, you’ll find your efforts in finding the perfect terrace worthwhile.
