River view with terrace Portuguese Soul in picturesque Alfama, sleeps 6
Exquisite, charming building dating back hundreds of years, recently renovated.
Situated in the heart of Lisbon’s historic center—Alfama, the city’s most picturesque and authentic neighborhood—this apartment places you just steps away from some of Lisbon’s most famous monuments.
It can host up to 6 people.
It is divided into 3 floors with a modern open interior staircase: - First floor: large suite and bathroom and shower. - Second floor: two bedrooms and bathroom and shower. - Third floor: living room, a fully equipped kitchen and a terrace to enjoy outside. Going up some steps you have a private miradouro (balcony), from where you have a superb view over the Tagus River and the city.
This premium space offers exceptional comfort, elegant golden accents, and abundant natural sunlight. One of the building’s defining features is its remarkable brightness—thanks to large windows and classic iron balconies, sunlight pours in from every angle throughout the day
This apartment is a haven for those who are passionate about painting, poetry, and the arts in all their forms. As you explore the space, you'll encounter stunning oil paintings brought to life on a variety of surfaces — from traditional canvases to furniture, walls, and more. Adding to the magic, the house is beautifully adorned with hand-painted verses from beloved Portuguese poets, creating a truly immersive artistic experience.
Bedding and towels are provided, as well as shampoo, shower gel, hand soap, and body lotion. Additional amenities include Wi-Fi, cable TV, air conditioning, a dishwasher, washer and dryer, coffee machine, toaster, and hair dryer.
A stay here feels like traveling back in time. At Portuguese Soul Alfama, you will be immersed in an awe-inspiring environment with golden paintings and walls, intricately decorated ceilings, vintage furniture, traditional Portuguese tiles, expressive oil paintings and a multitude of striking crystal chandeliers.
Portuguese Soul Alfama is the perfect place to nourish both your mind and soul.
This apartment is not suitable for people with mobility restrictions or young children.
The property consists of four apartments (I, II, III, and IV) available for individual rental (with capacities of 10, 6, 2, and 2 people, respectively) or as a whole (accommodating up to 20 people). If your desired dates are unavailable, please check the availability of our other apartments. It is possible to combine two or more apartments to accommodate a larger group.
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 (in front of 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. In our opinion, a car won’t be necessary, as many attractions are within walking distance.
We offer self check-in, with entry codes sent to guests prior to 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.
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.

If you want a quiet Alfama property, this is the location I would choose again. There are many food and Fado locations close by and Uber is great option for shopping districts. The property is well appointed with great appliances, lovely sitting area/terrace, and tasteful artwork and furniture.

Dear Jason Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're so glad to hear that you enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere of the property and the vibrant neighborhood around it :) We'd be delighted to welcome you back anytime you're in Lisbon again! Warm regards, Ana
Beautiful artsy apartment in a great, lively neighborhood
Ana was the perfect host, extremely gracious and responsive, and the multi-level apartment was delightful. The location is slightly above the hub of the action in Alfama, and as such was ideal for exploring the city or just dropping in to a fado show mere steps from our front door.

Dear Jeff
Thank you for such a lovely review 😊
We are delighted to know you have enjoyed our place and our beautiful Lisbon
Kind regards
Ana’s property was just as described. The unit is well-appointed, clean, and comfortable. The location allowed us to walk to many Lisbon attractions and Ana was a great host. She even reached out during our stay to advise us of a nearby flea market that was only going to be open for a short time. Overall a great stay in Lisbon.

About the host
Hosted by Ana Nunes
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 Terrace with a fantastic river view Exquisite golden decoration and paintings Premium features and high standard of comfort Plenty of natural light
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.
