About Rose Wood
We are South African and own a holiday rentals business in Cape Town which has been operating for the last 12 years. Our company here is called Rentals Cape Town.com and we've recently launched our global brand Accommodation Daddy .Com.
Why Rose Wood chose Alfama
We love Lisboa and wanted to own property in one of the most scenic and oldest parts of Lisbon.
We've just renovated our apartment and equipped it with all the things we like in a home. And we do like our luxuries so you're bound to be comfortable in our Frango.
We also like the fact that there is a small Pingo Doce down the road for groceries and a larger state-of-the-art one in Rua Madaleina which is about a 20 minute walk away.
What makes this apartment unique
Central, close to 2 metros (Terreiro do Paco & Santa Apolonia), listen to Fado at night for free, the beautiful Lisbon Street lamp hanging opposite our balcony, walk to Santa Appolonia to Pingo Doce and suddenly find you have a few thousand new neighbours in the form of 3 cruise ships lined up along the wharf.
Lots of view points to take your vinho verde and some glasses - Portas do Sol, Castello Sao Jorge, park above the Panteo Nationale..the list is endless.

Thank you
We got to apartment much later then we were scheduled to arrive. Thank you Vanessa for waiting. Nice location , could be a bit noisy at night, but it is in the center of fado cafe district.
Wonderful Place
This apartment is in a good location. Close to train and metro. Has a bakery couple doors down. You can open the french doors at night and have a glass of wine on the little deck over looking the street activity. Keep in mind the stairs up to the apartment are steep but every place is the same. This apartment is clean and has everything you would want. We enjoyed our 5 days in this apartment.
Lisbon Apartment
The apartment itself is very nice, brand new furniture and fixtures, kitchen and bathroom with everything in very good working conditions. My wife and I stayed for 1 week and being in Alfama put us in the heart of a very lively and enjoyable neighborhood. We did plenty of walking or took cabs to go places, not being familiar with the public transportation - which apparently as we were told by the host is easily reachable from the apt.
By the way I would like to thank especially Vanessa Barroso who was at the wait when we arrived and was prompt in returning our safety deposit. She was super helpful in explaining the apt fixtures and was very gracious bringing up a new portable heater when the one in the apt failed to work.
We had complaints about work being done on the street down below, from very early in the morning to late in the evening. This should have been told by the owner before our booking. Another problem, especially for older people is the steep 2 flights of stairs to get to the apt from street level - it was hard to carry our suitcases upstairs.
Three nights in Alfama
Fantastic location, simple clean and spacious. Walk to train station, restaurants and Fado houses. Check in was easy, Vanessa helped with all our questions. Highly recommended
the perfect place
The apartment is situated in a very nice area, not far from the city centre and from bars, markets and places of interest. It is spacious and it has everything you need for a great stay! Looking forward to go back to Lisbon.
Séjour excellent au cœur de la ville
Nous avons passé un séjour très agréable dans un quartier très typique du vieux Lisbonne. Le logement est parfait, très propre, avec toutes les commodités et entièrement refait à neuf. Nous avons eu un excellent accueil à notre arrivée. À recommander sans aucune hésitation et il propose surtout l'avantage d'être très central pour visiter la ville et proche de tous les transports.
Map
Alfama is an old part of Lisbon known for its mazes of narrow cobbled streets crammed with small apartment buildings, façades flying washlines of laundry, whose ground floors frequently house grocery stores, cafés and restaurants.
The Fado museum is a few minutes walk away, the famous church of Sao Vincente de Fora, and lots of Fado restaurants - in fact there's one right opposite our apartment called Sr Fado.
