About this property

Romantic Gem in Alfama

Located in the heart of Alfama, this newly-refurbished one-bedroom apartment comfortably hosts up to 4 guests. Along with a generous patio, enjoy air-conditioned living spaces and swift WiFi. Set on the ground floor, the residence maintains the area's signature architectural charm. Attractions like the Fado Museum, Panteão Nacional, and Portas do Sol viewpoint are easily accessible. Additionally, Santa Apolonia metro and train station is just a 550m walk away.

The Space

Every corner of the apartment has been designed for comfort. With its bright interiors and functional decor, the space feels both welcoming and efficient. The apartment features a tranquil bedroom, and two additional guests can be hosted on the sofa in the living room.
The main room seamlessly blends a lounge for relaxation and a dining area adjoining the well-equipped kitchen. Yet, it's the spacious patio that stands out, offering a serene outdoor retreat right at home.

The Neighborhood

Alfama is a picturesque, hilly neighborhood with narrow cobbled streets, pleasant squares, tiled façades, the most charming tascas serving authentic Portuguese cuisine, and Fado restaurants spilling melancholic sounds onto the streets. Although many changes have occurred in Alfama in the last few years, it still preserves that medieval side that is both fascinating and charming. Crowned by Castelo de S. Jorge, this neighborhood extends all the way to the riverside part of the city. Its maze-like layout up and down the hill is perfect for getting lost while discovering Alfama’s hidden treasures, old and new, along with its many viewpoints and sightseeing spots overlooking Lisbon.

Bon séjour à Lisbonne

Je vais essayer de donner un avis qui soit le plus objectif possible sur cet appartement, qui se trouve dans le quartier bas d'Alfama, dans un immeuble ancien, au RDC. Les points forts de l'appartement je dirais: - communication en amont avec la centrale de réservation très PRO et réactive - très propre - très calme, loin de l'euphorie de l'hypercentre, tout en étant facilement accessible aux transports (ce qui est pour moi hyper important, de pouvoir dormir au calme) - proche de la gare de Santa Apolonia, terminus de la ligne Azul (bleu) de métro, et des bus, ce qui s'est avéré très pratique pour rejoindre le centre en moins de 10 mn, sans la foule des transports du centre ville. - très bons restaurants à moins de 5 mn à pied - literie confortable, - cuisine bien équipée - WIFI fonctionne bien - salle de bains très spacieuse, douche agréable (un petit détail, il manque tout de même une étagère pour poser ses effets) et des produits de toilette fort agréables. - boissons café, lait, jus de bienvenue - proximité de plusieurs supermarchés pour le ravitaillement de première nécessité, dont un Bingo Doce qui se situe dans la gare et qui propose des pains frais Dans les points faibles , je dirais: - très sombre, contrairement à ce que laisse penser l'annonce (c'est d'ailleurs ma seule vraie déception sur cet appartement, que je signale du coup; à mon avis les photos ont été prises avec les plafonniers allumés que l'on ne voit pas sur la photo). Impossible même en pleine journée de ne pas allumer la lumière, car les fenêtres donnent sur un couloir de murs . Ce qui n'incite pas à rester longtemps dans l'appartement. Fort heureusement, nous n'y étions que pour dormir, petit-déjeuner et prendre la douche, car venus à la belle saison. - terrasse non utilisable pour 2 car il manquait une chaise et le canapé des photos n'y était pas Globalement, la location répond aux exigences de la plupart des voyageurs, et présente de nombreux atouts, mais à condition de passer beaucoup de temps à l'extérieur, compte tenu du manque de lumière intérieure. Pour le reste, je recommande cette location
