About this property

Exquisite apartment Portuguese Soul Alfama 2p

This recently renovated, romantic apartment is located on the ground floor of a charming, centuries-old building. It offers beautifully intricate ceilings and exquisite golden décor, providing a truly premium experience.

Situated in the heart of Lisbon’s historic center—Alfama, the city’s most picturesque and authentic neighborhood—this apartment allows you to be just steps away from some of Lisbon’s most famous monuments.

The apartment features a romantic bedroom with a double bed, a bathroom, and a fully equipped kitchen, making it an ideal choice for couples.

Bedding and towels are provided, along with shampoo, shower gel, hand soap, and body lotion. Additional amenities include Wi-Fi, cable TV, air conditioning, a coffee machine, a toaster, and a hair dryer.
Staying here feels like stepping back in time. At **Portuguese Soul Alfama**, you will be immersed in a stunning environment with ornate golden décor, intricate ceilings, vintage furniture, and striking crystal chandeliers.

Portuguese Soul Alfama, the perfect place to nourish both your mind and soul.

The property consists of four apartments (I, II, III, and IV), available for individual rental (with capacities of 10, 5, 2, and 2 people, respectively) or as a whole (accommodating up to 19 people). If your desired dates are unavailable, please check the availability of our other apartments. If you would like to combine multiple apartments to accommodate a larger group, feel free to inquire about pricing and availability.

Since the apartment is located in a historic area, cars are not permitted on the narrow street. However, the nearest point for a taxi or Uber drop-off (at the Fado Museum) is just a 3-minute walk away.

For parking, you can park near the Fado Museum (free at night), which is only a 3-minute walk from the apartment. Alternatively, there is parking available at Campo das Cebolas, about a 10-minute walk away. We believe a car won’t be necessary, as many attractions are within walking distance.

We offer self check-in, with entry codes sent to guests before their arrival. Early check-in and late check-out are available upon request, subject to availability, at no extra cost.

The apartment is equipped with a home alarm system and a safe box for your convenience.

st emblematic quarter and one of the most rewarding for walkers and photographers, and where you find the most authentic Fado houses. It was settled by the Romans and Visigoths, but it was the Moors who gave the district its atmosphere and name (Alhama means springs of the bath). Because its foundation is dense bedrock, it survived the 1755 earthquake, and a walk through this old-fashioned residential neighborhood is now a step back in time.
It is a village within a city still made up of narrow streets, tiny squares, churches, and whitewashed houses with tile panels and balconies adorned with pots of flowers and drying laundry.
The district is of unbelievable beauty, and it must be experienced to be fully appreciated.

NOTE: Attention for June!
Lisbon is known for its June street parties and Alfama is the heart of those festivities. Throughout old Lisbon, there are "arraiais" (old word for open-air party), where local restaurants set up shop on the streets and barbecue and grill sardines, etc. and people go drinking and dancing. On the nights of the 9th, 12th 23rd and 27th of June, the narrow streets become extremely crowded with local parties. Although it is a great atmosphere, it is very loud well into the night. If you want peace in June, Alfama is not the indicated neighborhood for you. However, if you are looking to be in the center of the action, then there is, without a doubt, no better place.

Superb property and host

From the time of booking our host Ana was consistently very responsive and helpful. The apartment is exactly as shown on the website, superbly furnished and fitted and has the essentials we needed including a welcome bottle of chilled white wine! There are numerous restaurants literally minutes away and many of the key tourist sites are also within easy walking distance. One of the nicest apartments we have ever stayed in and highly recommended for any couple visiting Lisbon.
Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2022

Hi, I’m Ana!
I have a deep love for Lisbon and a passion for painting. Together with my sister, Sónia, we transform accommodations into spaces rich in history and tradition, that tell visitors stories of our country. We love working with recycled antique furniture and Portuguese handicrafts, and we're especially passionate about incorporating artwork and thoughtful details.
The result? Spaces that nourish both the mind and soul.

Why they chose this property

Alfama is the heart of Lisbon, a beautiful maze of narrow streets, colorful houses, and breathtaking views. As one of the city’s oldest and most charming neighborhoods, it’s filled with vibrant history and tradition. Wandering through Alfama feels like stepping back in time, with its cobblestone alleys, hanging laundry, and the sounds of Fado music echoing from cozy taverns. From the hilltops, you can enjoy stunning views of the Tagus River, while every corner reveals hidden gems, from quaint cafes to ancient churches.

What makes this property unique

Great location in Alfama
Exquisite golden decoration and paintings
Intricately decorated ceilings
Premium features and high standard of comfort

The restoration of historic houses is our passion. With a deep sense of Portuguese identity, we draw inspiration from our country’s history, traditions, and rich cultural heritage. These elements are at the heart of what we call the "Portuguese Soul."
We love rolling up our sleeves and getting to work, whether it’s demolishing, rebuilding, or decorating. The entire process of breathing new life into old spaces fills us with a sense of purpose and pride.
