About this property

Portuguese Soul Alfama | XL Rooftop & Stunning River Views | Sleeps 20

A restored centuries-old property, full of soul and character.

Set in the heart of historic Alfama, Lisbon’s most authentic and picturesque neighbourhood.

Many of the city’s best-known monuments, traditional restaurants and fado houses are just a short walk away.

Ideal for families and friends travelling together, this property includes four apartments in the same building.

Together, the apartments accommodate up to 20 guests across 10 bedrooms, 12 beds and 7 bathrooms. Guests can enjoy a charming private patio, a terrace and an exceptionally spacious rooftop, the perfect setting for breakfast, sunset drinks or a peaceful evening overlooking Alfama’s rooftops.

With plenty of space to relax and enjoy the view, the rooftop is the perfect setting for breakfast, sunset drinks or a peaceful evening overlooking the Tagus River and Alfama’s iconic tiled rooftops.

Bathed in natural light, the interiors are rich in traditional Portuguese character. Large windows, classic iron balconies, decorative ceilings, vintage furniture, Portuguese tiles, golden details and crystal chandeliers create a distinctive and welcoming atmosphere.

Original oil paintings appear throughout the property, from canvases to painted furniture. Lines from poems, songs and fado lyrics add a unique touch, creating an immersive setting inspired by art, music and literature.

Bed linen, towels, shampoo, shower gel, hand soap and body lotion are provided. Amenities include Wi-Fi, cable TV, air conditioning, a dishwasher, washing machine, dryer, coffee machine, toaster and hairdryer. The apartment is also equipped with an alarm system and a safe.

Self check-in is available, with access codes sent before arrival. Early check-in and late check-out may be available upon request, subject to availability, at no extra cost.

Please note that the apartment is arranged over several floors, connected by open staircases, and has no lift. It is therefore not suitable for guests with reduced mobility and may not be suitable for young children.

The property is located on a narrow pedestrian-only street. The nearest taxi or ride-hailing drop-off point is in front of the Fado Museum, approximately a 3-minute walk away.

Christmas trip to Lisbon

I highly recommend this property. There are 4 apartments in the same building and it was perfect for the 15 of us. Two of the apartments are one bedroom and one bathroom and they have very few stairs. My 78 year old mother stayed in one of them. The apartments were exactly as described, nicely furnished and clean. The host was excellent and answered all my emails promptly. Check in was a breeze and we loved Lisbon. We will definitely be returning!
