About this property

Portuguese Soul Alfama | Terrace & Patio & River View | Sleeps 8

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

Set in the heart of historic Alfama, Lisbon’s most authentic neighbourhood and just steps from many of the city’s best-known monuments.

Ideal for families and groups, this property includes two independent apartments in the same building, both exclusively reserved for your group:
• Ground floor, with a separate entrance: one bedroom, living room, kitchen, bathroom and private patio.
The upper apartment is arranged over three floors, connected by an open internal staircase.
• First floor: spacious bedroom suite and bathroom.
• Second floor: two bedrooms and one bathroom.
• Third floor: a living room, fully equipped kitchen and terrace, the perfect setting for breakfast, sunset drinks or a peaceful evening. A few additional steps lead to a private lookout with breathtaking views over the Tagus River and Alfama’s iconic 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, song lyrics and traditional fado 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.

Portuguese Soul Alfama comprises four apartments that can be booked separately or combined for larger groups. Please check our other listings if this accommodation is unavailable or contact us about booking multiple apartments.

Portuguese Soul Alfama: a place to inspire the mind and nourish the soul.

Great location and place!

The place was fantastic and the perfect location for us. There were good restaurants and shopping close by and it was easy to find our way around the neighborhood. Ana was fantastic. We arrived in Lisbon way before our check-in time, but since no one was staying in the place prior to our visit, Ana was able to let us check-in early. The place was easily to find, the check-in process was great, and the place was clean. I would definitely recommend the place to anyway one visiting Lisbon.

The apartments and location couldn't have been more perfect for our family of 7. Bodegas and restaurants are within easy walking distance and the Fado museum is the perfect uber pick up spot. The apartment is well equipped, very clean and modern with an old world touch. There is street/people noise but part of the experience. Ana the host was super responsive and very welcoming.

Spectacular Apartment in Alfama

Apartment was well designed and especially enjoyed learning about its renovation (well done!) It was centrally located in Alfama to public transportation, restaurants, markets and bakeries (almost directly across from the apartment for those longing for a morning Ginja and pastel de nata). Close to many of the tourist sites, just a short walk or taxi drive away. Ana was very responsive to any questions we had. Strongly recommend this apartment!!

Great place in Alfama

We had an amazing stay in this apartment, location was terrific for us. The apartment was very clean, great showers, Ana was very helpful and offered a late check-out which was super helpful. The arrangement of the spaces is unusual, in that the rooms are all in one building stacked vertically, with the bottom bedroom at street level and the other two accessed from a separate stair next door on the second and third floors; each bedroom/floor has its own bathroom. The top floor has the communal space and the larger kitchen and roof deck; the lower bedroom has a small patio and a small kitchen.This arrangement worked for us. But could be a challenge for some groups of travelers. Overall it was a great place to stay for a few days in Lisbon!

College/teen family vacation

Wonderful stay in Lisbon. Ana is a terrific host, providing responsive, helpful communication to make everything run smoothly. We rented to of adjacent apartment for our family of six—kids ages 23,21,19,17. The place was perfect. Alfama is very hilly and this apartment is in the heart of the neighborhood, but don’t let that scare you. After lugging our luggage up the 3 minute walk up from Fado Museum, we acclimated quickly. The neighborhood is special, with restaurants, shops, coffee/wine around each bend in the road. The units themselves were clean, as described, and exceeded our expectations. Ana delivers a special local Lisbon experience. We will be back!
