About this property

Spirit of Art - ideal for families with balcony and garden view

In the heart of Alfama, this NEW and distinguished apartment is on the 1st floor, of an unusual but beautiful building dating from the XVIII century, with only two other apartments and an artist's studio below.
Situated in the city centre and in one of the most typical areas of Lisbon, you will find a very elegant and romantic place to stay. Original works of Portuguese contemporary artists are displayed on the walls, and some other meticulous details will make your stay unique and exquisite.
Measuring approximately 100 m², you will find a beautiful and characteristic apartment with two bedrooms, one bathroom, a living room, a fully equipped kitchen, a dining area and an abundantly “green” balcony.
A very quiet and accommodating environment for those looking for peace and tranquility. The best away to start the day is with breakfast on the balcony; enjoy the rooftops of Lisbon and the exquisite garden, belonging to the art studio below of the prominent contemporary artist.

Such a lovely apartment. John was most accommodating and communicated easily with us. Alfama is a peaceful place and our stay was so nice because of this flat. We would stay here again if and when we return.

Interesting art and everything else you could want

Slightly out of the crush that the Alfama can become but close to restaurants and everything you want to see. It was lovely to sit on the balcony in the morning and listen to the birds.

Adventure in Al Fama!

Clean, spacious, and comfortable for 4 adults. Our host, Jaoa, met us at the door and gave us a great local restaurant rec. Steep narrow cobblestone streets and 16th Century buildings made it an adventure!

Alfama apartment is the best location

The apartment is cozy and welcoming after a full day of walking this gorgeous city. The neighborhood restaurants are quaint and tourist friendly and would highly recommend. I stayed for four nights with my 21 grand-daughter and we felt safe and relaxed. The location is quiet and check-in friendly and warm. The Metro and Train are very close as we used them to travel to Evora and to the Airport to pick up a car rental for further travel in Portugal. It’s the best!

First time in Portugal

The property manager was wonderful to work with—prompt to reply and flexible. Our apartment was all we could have wished for—roomy, charmingly decorated, and quiet. It was easy to get places from there, and there were good eating establishments within walking distance. The history of the area made it that much more interesting. We would recommend it to all visitors!

Schönes Apartment!

Guter Kontakt, Joāo hat uns empfangen und freundlich willkommen geheißen. Die Wohnung ist sehr sauber, gut ausgestattet, toll gelegen in der Alfama nicht weit vom Zentrum und vielen Sehenswürdigkeiten. Etliche Restaurants und Bars befinden sich in der Umgebung. Man kommt von der Wohnung schnell in alle Richtungen, da sich nur 5 Minuten zu Fuß der Bahnhof/ Metro/Busstation und Taxistand befindet ! Praktischer gehts nicht.

Great location, beautiful apartment!

Fantastic location to base your visit to Lisbon! Easy to get around whether you want to walk, take the tram, bus or train. Joao made it so easy, even taking our bags early until we could officially check in. Neighborhood is cute, with stores and restaurants within blocks. We had a great time and can't wait to come back!

A slice of life in Lisbon

We enjoyed being a part of the neighborhood, eating and enjoying Fado within steps of the apartment. We could choose to go into other parts of town and experience the tourist activities or stay close to the apartment and feel like we were hanging out with locals. Santa Apolonia station was convenient for both train and subway travel. Overall, a great stay!

Taumhafte Unterkunft in Alfama, zentral gelegen aber etwas abseits vom Touristenstrom

Die geschmakvoll eingerichtete/konfortable Altbauwohnung liegt eine Querstraße vom Wasser entfernt und daher geht immer ein angenehmes Lüftchen. Wir waren sehr gerne "zu Hause" und haben den Blick ins Grüne sowie auf die enge und tagsüber belebte Gasse sehr genossen. Sehr gute öffendliche Anbindung (auch zum Flughafen), zahlreiche Lokale /Cafes sowie MiniMercados um die Ecke.

Perfect place in the perfect location

We had a nine day stay at this amazing property in the heart of the Alfama district. It was perfect place to start our Portugal excursion near the national pantheon. The kitchen was fully equipped with an awesome view of a well designed garden. The master bedroom had a regal bed with an amazing desig quite fitting for a European location. The most unique thing about the apartment was the art. I highly recommend and would definitely stay again.
