About this property

Alfama Hill - great view

"Steeps streets where trams trundle along..a southern city, a city at once scorched and fresh with the promise of the sea on the horizon." (Simone de Beauvoir).

This charming apartment renovated in 2011 is on the ground floor of the most picturesque quarter of Lisbon – Alfama. It has plenty of sunlight and offers spectacular views over the Tejo river and city monuments.
Perfectly located between the most popular viewpoints Miradouro de Santa Luzia and Miradouro das Portas do Sol where you can enjoy a coffee on the esplanade, contemplate the beauty of the city and visit the Museum of Decorative Art. It is just a few steps away from Lisbon's cathedral, the Sé, São Jorge Castle, Santo António church (Lisbon’s popular saint) as well as the famous flea market Feira da Ladra. From this apartment you can explore the rest of the city walking to Baixa, Bairro Alto or Chiado.
The apartment is totally equipped and well served by public transports like the old fashioned n.º 28 tram, tram n.º 12, the mini-bus 37 (their stop are 3 minutes walking distance from the apartment) and it is also at a walking distance to the train station and subway Santa Apolónia. Nearby you have all kinds of traditional commerce, bars, restaurants and the traditional Fado houses.

Nice flat with a perfect location

We stayed four nights and we had a great time in Lisboa. The flat is located perfectly in the Alfama district and you can walk pretty much everywhere. We enjoyed our stay. The check in process was easy and the contact with the manager was easy.

Great place for single or two!

Excellent location in Alfalma with access to so many restaurants and shops (of course it is in Alfalma). Small living room with great view of port and very airy. Kitchen is small but adequate with needed appliances. Bed is comfortable. The place is very clean and owner is very responsive. Overall a very good experience and highly recommend it.

Short stay

Place is located right in the Alfama area of Lisbon. Not for the faint of heart for walking. The elevator in the listing was not in service during our visit, so it ywas stairs only. Place is cute for two with beautiful views to the Tagus where several cruise ships port. The downside is if you have allergies to spores this may not be your place. It because it's near the ocean / rrover does get misty. I am an allergy sufferer and even taking my medication I still got stuffed up. My wife and I didn't have the heat on as it was beautiful and even opened all the windows we could to alleviate the issue with my allergies and it did not help. But as stated other than my allergies the place is set in a gem of an area of Alfama

Alfama Hill character

Very comfortable updated apartment. Spacious enough for more than a few days. The old town location puts you in the middle of lots to see and do. A very walkable area with lots of history and views. Many pedestrian only roads make walking very pleasant. Monica communicated very well using the texting within VRBO, SMS and voice. My US based phone wasn’t getting my texts to her and I would call her successfully when I suspected this could be happening. The arrival directions and access instructions were great.

A Visit of quiet beauty

We loved the easy access of the location and the calm, spacious, and simple atmosphere of the apartment. Monica was readily available to help us operate the key to the door, which was tricky and unfamiliar to us. I would definitely stay again.

Cute apartment with a great view

This apartment has wonderful views and is very quaint. Near a small food market, restaurants, and the metro. The landlady was very kind. Beware however, that Alfama is a pedestrian only area. Walking is the only way around, which I enjoyed, but with a suitcase is was a challenge. It was worth all those stairs. Kindly, Christine

great place to stay

Everything was great and we loved being in Alfama district. It was a bit noisy but didn't detract from our stay. The owner provided very clear directions to find her place and was very pleasant when we met her at the outset of our stay.

Loved this apartment!

I absolutely loved this apartment. The location was perfect, the view was beautiful, and even though I had a little bit of trouble finding it and getting into it- once you figure it out it’s easy! I highly recommend staying at Monica’s apartment, It’s very clean and organized, and as mentioned the location is one of the best parts! If I come back to Alfama I would definitely book this place again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Beautiful view of the rooftops of Alfama with the river's estuary in the distance, the colors of which change during the day. Comfortable bed, reliable Wifi, and excellent neighborhood with meandering paths that take you back in time. Mini-mercados and restaurants/bars that serve as live music venues featuring Fado abound.

Center of alfama, great view

We enjoyed our time in the heart of alfama. This place is not for the faint of heart as there are lots of stairs regardless of the direction you come from (up or down). The elevator suggested to get there is out of order (july w2023) and, according to a local, has been for over a month. Luckily we travel lightly. We liked the narrow alleys and fado restaurants nearby. The place is old but what else could it be in that location? Great views.
