About this property

New comfortable and charming apartment in historic Alfama.

This cosy apartment is located in a quiet, pedestrian street of Alfama. The historic building has been completely rebuilt (2012) and, although the façade has been preserved, the interior is completely new: one spacious living room with kitchenette and river view, one bedroom and one bathroom. The apartment offers all modern facilities and is fully equipped. Free Internet, towels and bed linen are also provided.

Only a few steps away you can take the popular tram 28 that rides the scenic tour of Lisbon hills. Check the miradouros nearby and enjoy the dazzling views: Lisbon’s rooftops, church towers and the Tagus. There are Fado restaurants, cafés and tradicional shops, all in the area.

The area is also well served with public transports (Bus, Taxis, Metro and Train). You can explore the rest of the city and return easily!

During your stay, we will do our best to make you feel our apartment as your Lisbon home.

We had a wonderful stay as a couple with teenage daughter. The sofa bed was so comfortable and the apartment was so clean, light and airy. It was quiet at night and a perfect location for exploring Lisbon. João was an excellent host and very responsive.

A real little gem in the heart of the old town, Lisbon

This is a compact but excellently equipped apartment in the heart of the old town. The property is situated in one of the original, old cobbled streets so there are no cars. However it's a short walk from the centre of Lisbon and conveniently located for train, metro and the 28 tram. A short (steep) stroll takes you to 'the viewing point' that everyone flocks to. An excellent choice of restaurants is on your doorstep and this is the Fado quarter so many offer live music. There are river glimses from the apartment. The apartment is clean and fresh and has everything needed. The owner is delightful and the bottle of wine chilling in the fridge was a nice touch. With close proximity to the City centre this is an ideal location. Highly recommended.

Adorable little apartment close to the historic No. 28 tram route

We had a lovely three night stay at João’s apartment in picturesque Alfama neighbourhood. The place was lively, but not noisy, at night with traditional Fado entertainment, restaurants and cafes. We took the No.28 tram (a lovely experience in itself) into town very easily from the Port de Sol nearby. We were able to fit in loads of sightseeing as everywhere was accessible by public transport. Eating at The Teatro Mini Bar was one of the highlights of the trip, plus Torre de Belém, Time Out Market, Escher exhibition, Santa Justa Elevador, National Tile Museum and more. João greeted us with wine and biscuits and was the perfect host. Emma and Neil

Great location, nicely appointed, friendly and helpful host.

We were looking for somewhere in the old quarter, and were pleased with how the apartment was central there and, while being modern, in amongst the everyday residents.

Lovely apartment

This is a lovely modern, well kept apartment in a great area of Alfama. It's close to the Portas Do Sol stop for the 28 Tram which is handy when coming back up from the town, (this spot is also a great place for a beer on the terrace overlooking Alfama for note!). Only slight flaw we found was there is no air-conditioning in the apartment, and we had a couple of particularly hot days/nights so we struggled slightly, though there was a portable fan we could use. Joao was great, he was waiting at the apartment for us even though is was quite late, and had provided some lovely biscuits and wine! Thanks for a nice stay Joao!

Perfect.

This apartment is massively undersold; it has to be one of the best places to stay in Lisbon, and incredible value for money. The apartment is clean and modern, the bathroom especially is wonderful. The Alfama streets surrounding the apartment are absolutely beautiful; we stayed here having come from Paris, St. Petersburg, and Rome, and this place was like a combination of all three. We walked almost everyday either into and across the very centre of Lisbon, or to Cais Sodre (where you can get the train to Cascais), and this was no problem; Rossio is barely 15 minutes walk. The people who run the little shops and restaurants (the cafeteria run by the two ladies next to the Alfama Grill is particularly good, they cooked me steak and chips at 11pm to take away) are all run by some of the most welcoming people me and my girlfriend have encountered on holiday. This apartment will exceed your expectations. I am the sort of person who obsesses over selecting the right place to go, the right place to stay etc, and I want everything to be perfect. This apartment was. It is the sort of place that makes you consider making the owners an offer for it! You won't want to leave. Thank you again to the Boavida's for being so welcoming and helpful. Stay here, you have found the right one.

Apartamento Alfama - Muito Bom!

Eu e a minha família tivemos uma estadia óptima neste apartamento em Alfama. O apartamento está bem localizado na zona histórica das Portas do Sol. As instalações são muito agradáveis, devidamente limpo e equipado. Os proprietários foram amorosos e sempre atenciosos. Recomendo vivamente este apartamento para quem queira desfrutar de um ambiente familiar durante a sua estadia em Lisboa.

Light and delight

Quiet and peacefull. Loved to stay in this apartment. The apartment was clean and has everything needed for a pleasant stay. The wine was great, we drank it on the balcony with the ever changing colors of the Tagus as cenary. Right in the centre of tipical Alfama. We'd love to come back one day...

Perfect location

There was some miscommunication on my end regarding checking in. But João was amazing and made it work in record time. The location is perfect for staying in Alfama. Within walking distance if not only food and markets, but almost every landmark you’d want to see in Lisbon. The bedroom is like a cave and I’ve never slept so well while traveling. If you’re looking for a place to stay in Alfama, look no further.

I think to get a better review the owner should wait for people to come at the condo, give a key, explain and answer the questions.
