About this property

River view Portuguese Soul Large Terrace Alfama 10p

Exquisite, charming building dating back hundreds of years, recently renovated.

Located in Alfama, one of the best spots in Lisbon’s historic center, and its most authentic and picturesque neighborhood.

It offers a large terrace with a superb view over the Tagus River and Alfama’s iconic rooftops.

This premium space offers a high standard of comfort, plenty of natural sunlight, and elaborate golden decor.

It can host up to 10 people.

This magnificent property is a quadruplex apartment with a modern open interior staircase:
- First floor: two bedrooms (one with a double bed and the other with two single beds) and bathroom with shower.
- Second floor: two bedrooms (one with double and two single beds) and bathroom and shower.
- Third floor: bedroom with a double bed, a bathroom with shower and a fully-equipped and brand-new kitchen with dining area.
- Fourth floor: living room with a sofa, armchairs and a large terrace with the most superb view over the Tagus River and Alfama.

A defining characteristic of this building is the luminosity within. Thanks to the large windows and iron balconies, light shines into the interior from every angle at any time of the day.

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, and a multitude of striking crystal chandeliers.

Portuguese Soul Alfama is the perfect place to nourish both your mind and soul.
The property consists of four apartments (I, II, III, and IV) available for individual rental (with capacities of 10, 5, 2, and 2 people, respectively) or as a whole (accommodating up to 19 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.

This apartment is not suitable for people with mobility restrictions or young children.

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.

Fabulous house for a weekend get-together

This is a fantastic house, located very centrally in Alfama. Five couples spent a long weekend here and we all had plenty of space. Good sized bedrooms and a lovely terrace at the top of the house. Ana was extremely helpful and made us feel very welcome. We would definitely stay here again!

Amazing apartment in historic area of Lisbon

We had the most amazing stay at this apartment in Lisbon. The apartment was beautiful, we loved the rooftop patio. We could hear the Fado music up there each night while we relaxed with bottles of wine after dinner. Everything you need is there. Ana, our host was so thoughtful and communicated well. There was a little bit of a walk with our suitcases…about 3 minutes up hill as no cars are allowed on the street. So as long as you’re mobile, it’s not a problem. We actually enjoyed the authenticity! Stay here, you won’t regret it! Check in and check out process was super easy.

A perfect location

This location, in the Alfama area was a perfect spot. It was close to all the wonderful places to see, restaurants, the train, and Uber pickup spots. The apartment is beautiful and easily kept 6 pp very comfortable ( including the beds). It was clean and we appreciated the thoughtful touches of the coffee and the chilled wine in the fridge. The balcony on the roof was a wonderful place for coffee in the morning and wine in the evening. We loved it.

Great location. Easy to get around, close to transportation and places to eat and drink. Apartment was clean, well furnished with everything we needed for our stay. Having air conditioning and The washer/dryer was a great addition. My family thought the stairs were steep. Not for someone with mobility issues Had to be very careful going up and down the stairs especially with luggage.

Beautiful Alfama Apartment

We stayed in this lovely apartment with our sons and significant others--seven adults in all. We had plenty of space and really enjoyed the sitting room and the terrace. The kitchen was also perfect for a family dinner. As advertised, the stairs are narrow and steep and would prove an obstacle for people with mobility issues, but we had no problems. We came to Lisbon for a family wedding, the festivities for which were in various places. We had no trouble going to the nearby square for Uber or Tuk Tuks. We prefer to walk and walking to most sights and public transportation in Lisbon was also easy. The apartment is across the street from a wonderful pasty and coffee shop, and we can recommend all three restaurants on the street (for dine in and take away). The neighborhood is busy, a little noisy, but very friendly. Ana and her sister were available, helpful, and incredibly accommodating for us. It was wonderful.

Fabulous property in the heart of Alfama

This is magical property that is in the middle of the Alfama Fado district. It has a cozy rooftop terrace overlooking the Tagus river. The design is fanciful, white and gold with great bathrooms and living areas. Big kitchen with a table where everyone can connect, eat drink... whatever you desire. The beds are super comfortable with nice pillows and comforters. BUT IT'S ALL ABOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD! THE FADO IS EVERYWHERE! IT'S AUTHENTIC AND FUN!

We Love Alfama!

We had an incredible stay at Ana’s property for our family vacation and wedding trip. Ana was the perfect host—extremely responsive, accommodating, and never once made us feel like a burden, no matter how many questions we asked. Before the trip, she was instrumental in helping us organize accommodations for 12 people so we could all stay together as a family. She was also very understanding when we needed to adjust payments with multiple credit cards. Her experience working with people and her kindness truly stood out. As for the house, it was gorgeous, exactly as pictured. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the linens were fresh, soft, and high-quality. The towels were also great, and when we requested additional ones, they were delivered within 12 hours—impressive! The location in Alfama is both amazing and convenient, though the hills are steep, which is just part of the charm of the area. Our group, ranging in age from 30 to 74, managed the terrain just fine. Overall, our stay in Alfama was spectacular, and both Ana and her beautiful property are absolute gems. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Excellent location & home

The cleanliness and set up of this property was perfect for our family group of 10. Beds super comfortable. Kitchen well-appointed, small-ish living area but given the great location with authentic, yummy restaurants nearby, not spending much time watching TV. Ana provided an incredible easy check-in and was super communicative - and a bottle of wine! Highly recommend

Exquisite apartment in Alfama

This is a beautiful 5 story apartment in the Alfama district of Lisbon. The linens, furniture, glassware, decor, and views are exquisite! Hosts had a bottle of wine chilled for our arrival, many thanks!!! The sun porch/ rooftop terrace was our favorite gathering spot for coffee on the mornings and wine in the evenings. Be warned, it is a 5-8 minute hike up roughly a 45 degree inclined cobblestone streets from the Fado Museum drop off (closest transportation point). We thoroughly enjoyed our stay albeit nervous on the winding staircases within the 5 stories. Many delicious food options within close walking distance, including a very highly rated pastry shop directly across the way making breakfast very simple every day. Highly recommend if you have no mobility issues (but Lisbon is the city of 7 hills so this is normal here!).

Awesome stay in Alfama!

This property is perfectly located in the Alfama district near restaurants, shops, and beautiful sights to see. The apartment was clean and had enough bedrooms and amenities for all of us. Be prepared to climb stairs on five different levels. Not an issue for our young family, but could be for people with mobility challenges. Overall, a great stay!

Alfama Holiday

A lovely stay, a birthday celebration, a step back in time only begins to describe our holiday in Alfama. Every gilded accent, chandelier, and molding detail just as pictured but more beautiful in person. Breathtaking view over the city enjoyed with morning breakfast pastries from down the street to evening cocktails with the lit cityscape. Do not hesitate, book this lovely apartment, you will not regret. Obrigada Ana!

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

Excellent location
Large terrace and a fantastic river view
Premium features and high standard of comfort
Exquisite golden decoration
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.
