We're usually a little bit biased towards homes in Alfama – the neighbourhood is just so beautiful and characterful – but this apartment didn't need the help of its stunning location to make the grade. Your design-loving host has gone through a lot of effort to plan everything with you, her guest, in mind. This super sleek, Scandi-rustic affair made us feel warm and welcome as soon as we arrived. The natural materials reinforce the feeling of a remote cabin – even though it's located at the foot of Castelo de São Jorge, making sightseeing completely organic. Other nearby sights include Sé de Lisboa cathedral and the Museu do Fado – both within a ten-minute walk – while the downtown area of Baixa-Chiado is only a little further. In summary, the style is coherent, the beds are heavenly, and the location is unmatched.

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...
