About this property

Apartment with a panoramic view of the old town, river and castle

The apartment is located on the top floor of a restored house on the upper edge of Alfama in the historic center of Lisbon and has been renovated in 2022. The spectacular view and the characteristic atmosphere of neighborhood are fascinating.
You have an view of what is happening in the streets, but also find absolute silence, if you desire. It's located on the third floor of the house and is supported by a traditional diagonal staircase, which in a straight line from the entrance to the house. The bottom two floors of the house are still in the period before the great earthquake of 1755 and was not destroyed by this. The upper two floors were built in the 19th Century. The flat is very centrally located and has all day sunshine (except, when it is cloudy ...)

Further Details: The apartment has a very central location in a historic building in the heart of the old city of Lisbon. It is well developed and is on the tram line No 28. The Monastery of Sao Vicente, the Castle Hill and the streets of Alfama are a few minutes away. Go on city tours of this place of rest and enjoy the panoramic view from every window. Or stay in the apartment and enjoy the special atmosphere and the high, bright rooms.

Further Information: We have a contact person who speaks English and French on site. If you have questions or need help, she is happy to help you. If you have further questions on housing and the environment, you can call us. You can reach us at the telephone number 0041 7942595 06 (see below).

Specials: Enjoy a freshly squeezed orange juice in the winter!
We may pick all the oranges of the tree of our neighbour, that are within our range. The tree is in the back yard of the house and we have a special instrument to pick them :-)
Since 2022 we have our own balcony of 1.20m x 2.00m with a spectacular view over the castle, the old town and the Tejo

It's a wonderful rustic place in the heart of Alfama. It's right above a quiet restaurant that serves great brunches. The owner was very friendly and gave a lot of helpful tips, such as where to visit and where to get the best parking, etc. The property has a lot of stairs which can be a bit exhausting after a long day of walking (In Alfama you should expect a lot of walking). The view makes it worth it.The place itself can get a little hot, but there's window shutters to keep out the sun and a fan so if you fan be very comfortable.

Enjoyed the support

Brilliant view. Comfortable and sizeable property. The balcony has views both directions - of the city and of the ocean. Alfama is the place to be in Lisbon! What was most gratifying was the pre-stay advice of the owner, Seppei, and the on-site support of his helper, Paula, who lives downstairs.Felt like ‘home’ to us. Though it pains us to mention it, for anyone physically challenged, there are four levels of steps to access the apartment and that should be consideredWould stay there again. Thank you! .

I steep climb but worth it for the view!

In a lovely part of Lisbon's old town Close to trams and a few restaurants and shops. Very steep stairs up to the top floor but worth it for fabulous views.The host very kindly gave recommendations about restaurants. It would have been nice to have had some info in the apartment about the area and transport and maybe a bottle of water in the fridge on arrival! Just small things, overall apartment was very clean and well equipped, we had a great stay.

What a beautiful apartment, with unbelievable views from the windows and balcony! If you love the pictures, you will love the apartment. It is also clean and comfortable. It has some quirks: lots of steep steps to get up to it, and an odd layout with several small-ish rooms. But everything works really well, and it is so pretty inside, and the views are just amazing!

Hilly and lots of stairs but worth it!

We enjoyed staying in a neighbour with character versus in a more downtown location. Most everything was in a enjoyable walking distance…despite the hills and stairs! Access to appartment requires climbing 50 stairs, straight up but surprisingly doable. Appartment was comfortable for the time spent inside and with the amenities needed. It is a family home so older in style than some may want but had an unexpected warmth and charm. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening on the balcony with amazing views. It was somewhat smaller than we imagined based on photo but we managed. Definitely a plus! Host was so helpful and provided lots of needed detailed info as we planned our stay, and Paula in charge of checkin/checkou, again, very helpful.

Wonderful stay!

This is a delightful apartment in every way: full of light from its many windows; period furniture; polished wood floors; and immaculately clean. Well equipped kitchen for cooking and dining. There are excellent views from every vantage point, especially from the delightful balcony just big enough for three. We were on the balcony as often as possible for lunches and apéro time, feasting on the views over the castle hill, the winding streets of Graça and the river Tejo as much or more than on our delicious food and wine. One of our greatest delights was watching the swooping and darting of the swallows as they fed in early morning and at sunset. Communication with the owner and the local manager, Paula, was excellent and immediate, with comprehensive instructions provided for arrival and departure, as well as for every part of our stay, and for the very few times we had questions. We really enjoyed the Graça neighbourhood, with all needed amenities, and many restaurants, cafés and major points of interest within easy walking distance, as long as you can negotiate hilly terrain. As has been noted by the owner, there are 50 stairs, which does require a reasonable level of fitness and mobility. We are far from young and enjoy walking, so did not find this a drawback. We really hope to return!

Strong musty, mildew odor

We loved this place at first, but had to leave after one night due to a strong musty, mildew odor. I am allergic to mildew, and I could not sleep because of the smell. The smell was strongest in the non-washable fabrics and some of the old furniture (see photos). The linens were fine, and the apartment was otherwise clean. We opened the windows to clear the air, but the apartment was already cold, so we had to sit in front of one of the plug-in portable heaters provided. When we spoke to the owner, who was out of the country, he claimed he’d never had complaints before, and Portugal is humid along the coast, and perhaps I should not visit Portugal in March if I was allergic to mildew. Fortunately for us, the next six places we stayed in Portugal had no problem at all, and we enjoyed the rest of our trip. Although we offered to pay for the one night (out of five), plus the cleaning fee, the owner gave us no refund, and VRBO did not support us, saying they needed proof (which, of course, is difficult with an odor). The owner asked my husband to call him directly, so we assumed he would offer a refund in exchange for us not leaving a bad review. However, when my husband suggested this, he accused my husband of bribery. We were very shaken by this unpleasant experience, and so cannot recommend this apartment.
