About this property

River view w/ terrace Portuguese Soul Alfama 5p

Exquisite charming building dating back hundreds of years just renovated.

In one of the best locations in the historic center - Alfama, Lisbon's most picturesque and authentic neighborhood.

It offers a terrace to enjoy outside. Going up some stairs it has a private miradouro (balcony) with the most superb view over the Tagus River and Alfama’s iconic rooftops.

It can host up to 5 people.

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

It is divided into 3 floors with a modern open interior staircase:
- First floor: large suite and bathroom and shower.
- Second floor: large bedroom and bathroom and shower.
- Third floor: living room with a sofa bed, armchairs, 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.
Going up some steps it has a private miradouro (balcony) with the most superb River and city view.

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.

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, 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.

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.

Beautiful apartment in a great llcation

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.

Fantastic Alfama Apartment

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.

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.

About the host

Hosted by Ana Nunes

Host profile image
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.
