About this property

Charming Flat right in the heart of Alfama

The apartment is located in one of the oldest buildings in the neighbourhood of Alfama, its foundations date back to the twelfth century. It was partially destroyed by the 1755 earthquake and later was rebuilt by the Count of Arcos, viceroy of Brazil, to its housing in the eighteenth century. This is a unique opportunity of staying in a charming apartment, refurbished in 2013 , in a building that is part of the history of Lisbon, Portugal and Brazil. Well situated in the district of Alfama, the oldest quarter of Lisbon, and probably the most authentic. Of Arab origin, its name means “fountains”. Ramble through and lose yourself in it's medieval narrow streets, its alleys, squares and patios. Also near the Santa Luzia and Portas do Sol viewpoints, and walking distance to the castle of St George. Surroundings: - the Pantheon is within a 10 minute walk - Castelo São Jorge 15 minute walk - Rossio Square and the train station are within 1500 metres from the apartment. - Santa Apolónia train station 10 minutes walk - Underground 10 minutes walk - Tram 28 only 50 meters away - Restaurants and all facilities nearby. Traditionally a fishing community, Alfama still retains a lot of its old charm. You’ll see terracotta rooftops, white-washed walls and flower-filled balconies. Historic, picturesque, charming and nostalgic. This is Alfama, Lisbon’s oldest district. You’ll find some of the best fado bars here along the cobbled streets. Just follow the music!

Important: As most of the ancient buildings in old Lisbon, there is no elevator in our building, and, our apartment is located in the 1st floor;

I kindly ask you, Please, to take this in consideration when you book our place.

The apartment is on the 1st floor, very quiet with dining room and living room, has 1 double room and capacity for 3 people and 1 baby.
If you need a crib this will also be provided at no extra cost.
The kitchen is equipped with all the amenities and utensils that you may need.
It has a large and beautiful bathroom with tub. Towels and bed linen are included.
It is equipped with TV LED with international channels, DVD player, wireless internet, hairdryer, first aid kit, coffee maker, washing machine, microwave, etc...

We are here to provide all the advice for a pleasant stay, and will do our best to help in anything you may need!

- Please note that the extra bed is small and narrow, and that is way this apartment is best suited for 2 adults and a child.

- Check-in between 21h00 and 23h00 has a fee of 20€. Between 23h00 and 01h00 the fee is 30€.

Wonderful hideway in old town!
This is a fantastic place to stay in residential Old Town Lisbon it's Central and close to everything and it makes you feel like you're living in Lisbon and not just a tourist. The apartment itself is fabulous it's super clean and comfortable. Furnishings are all up to date and comfortable. It's beautifully designed and has all of the amenities that you will need. I loved waking up in the morning and opening the shutters and windows onto a light filled Square, and loved shutting the shutters at night to put myself into a dark sleeping cocoon. I wish I could have this as my summer home! The management of the property was fantastic. They were responsive and gave me all the information I needed up front. Check-in was super simple, they met me at my preferred time to give me the keys. Check out was even easier, I just left the key and walked out. During my stay I had a couple of questions and they were always very responsive, answering within an hour. The one caveat is that the apartment is on the second floor with a steep set of stairs leading up to it, so this may be difficult for someone who's mobility challenged. Also a tip: Uber and Bolt are not allowed to drive in the old town residential streets, but licensed taxis can. So coming from the airport or the train station catch a licensed taxi, and when you leave make a reservation for a taxi otherwise you will be hauling your luggage up and down a very steep street.

Great apartment in Alfama
We really enjoyed our stay here! The location was great and we loved the hosts restaurant recommendations too. It’s an older apartment with one flight of steep stairs up, but nothing that isn’t common for the neighborhood. Lots to do and explore nearby, the host even helped arrange a taxi for us to the airport at 4am. Great place to stay!

Magical place
I will stay in any apartment Juan Batiste manages. Helpful, kind and upfront. Sweet apartment with everything you need for a long or short stay. Bed was fine. Nice clean bathroom and room to move around. Kinda noisy at night but I didn’t care because we wanted to be in the thick of things. Would stay again. Thank you Juan.

Super !
Très bien situé dans l'Alfama, quartier typique et plein de charme, l'appartement reste proche des autres quartiers. Il est joliment décoré (les photos reflètent bien l'atmosphère), bien équipé et très propre. Nous avons été très bien accueillis.

Perfect apartment for a couple
Very nice apartment, ideal for a couple, at the heart of the old Lisbon, very close to Puerta do Sol. You can't make a mistake by choosing it.
