On the 5th floor, with elevator, Air conditionig and plenty of light, always keeping its historical soul and features. It's charm and character is due to the tasteful combination of stylish design and the enhancement of traditional architecture, such as wooden floors and Portuguese tiles. The decoration also combines modern and sophisticated design with vintage pieces. Big windows, balconies and the rooftop terrace gives this apartment a very special brightness & charm.

It has 3 bedrooms, one is on the mezanine. Two bedrooms with big windows and access to a balcony and 1 bedroom on the Mezzanine floor.

Where you’ll be

Lisbon, Portugal

Lisbon - Alfama - Sé Cathedral Area

The city becomes increasingly iconic and picturesque, the further you delve into its historic and medieval districts. As you walk along the stone-paved, narrow and often steep streets of Alfama, you are literally transported back in time. Alfama was historically the seedy and impoverished neighbourhood of Lisbon but today is a favourite with tourists. Alfama has the strongest sense of community of all of Lisbon's districts
Perched at the very top of this hill is Castelo S. Jorge (St. George's Castle), built during the 7th Century.
The castle occupies a strategic position and offers unrivalled views of the city. On your way there, you will bump into some unique peoples, stories and traditions. The popular and yet melancholy music of Fado infuses the air and tells you that you are in the Alfama.
Visit the Sé Cathedral and don´t forget to stop at the various viewpoints along the way. Take a seat on one of the garden benches and drink in the landscape before you.
Enjoy the pure pleasure of the riverfront. The Tejo River is one of Lisbon's most striking features, thanks to the freshness and light it bestows on the city.

The typical and famous 28 tram stops right in front of the Sé and will take you through the narrow streets of the Alfama and most interesting sights of Lisbon's historical and architectural heritage. In one direction, it goes up Graça (really nice views) and down to the multicultural Martim Moniz neighbourhood. On the other, it goes through Baixa (historical lower town), up the shopping district Chiado, and past São Bento and Estrela – finally arriving in Campo de Ourique, a neighbourhood known for having a great quality of life as well as nice restaurants and cafés. The metro is nearby too – depending where on the neighbourhood you are, you can either catch it on Terreiro do Paço, Baixa/Chiado, or Martim Moniz

If you wish to visit Estoril, Cascais or Sintra, the train stations are also at walking distance in Cais do Sodré Station (10 minutes). To Belem you should also take this train.

AIRPORT: The house is 15 minutes (7km) from the airport and the best way to arrive is by taxi, more comfortable and direct (around 10€).

The top transport, 28 Tram, just at your door!

The flat is in the very heart of the city, in the Fado´s neighborhood, near the river, so take advantage of this and explore Lisbon, it´s hills and mysteries. Walking is the best way to discover the city:
200 meters to the Cathedral Sé
300 meters from Fado Museum
400 meters from Santa Luzia View point
400 meters to Praça do Comércio/ Terreiro do Paço
800 meters to S. Jorge´s castle
850 meters to St Vincent Monastery and National Pantheon
600 meters to Baixa/Rossio
1 km to Chiado and Bairro Alto

- bus stop (4 min) with lines to almost all parts of the city including: airport, Belem, Cais do Sodre (that serves Cascais), Expo area, modern centre

Lives in Lisbon, Portugal
Hello! My name is Joana, I am Portuguese and I love Lisbon!! I was born in Cascais, which is a beautifull town just 30min from Lisbon, and lived there until 10 years ago. Right now I live between Lisbon and Cascais :). I am loving living in Lisbon, the city is just getting better and better each day. Everyday I am surprised with something new. I really love this city and I wish you will feel the same. During the weekends, I find myself a real tourist, exploring the city...And every time, I am surprised by something new & cool. My favorite thing in life is to travel, to explore, to live new things, to meet new people, to be adventuress. I also love my 2 dogs and we get to do lots of walking and travelling together. :) I studied management and worked in big multinacional companies and now I am dedicated to deliver the best hospitality to my guests! I also do renovation of houses which I love. I wish you all the best! Thank you (Obrigada), Joana
