Alfama Urban Refuge | 2-Bedroom Flat

Step into a home that mirrors Alfama itself: compact, full of character, and just steps from cobbled streets where Fado drifts through the night. Simple, cozy, and practical, the perfect base to live Lisbon like a local.

- Living & Dining

A cozy corner to rest after wandering Alfama’s alleys. Sink into the sofa, share a meal at the table for 4, or just let the TV play while the neighborhood hum drifts through the windows.

- Bedroom 1

A snug double room with a 140x200 cm bed and wardrobe. The small window gives ventilation, but this is really a space to retreat, close the door, and rest.

- Bedroom 2

Bright and versatile: a single bed that turns into two. With frosted-glass doors and traditional windows, it’s a space where morning light and Alfama’s rhythm greet you.

- Kitchen

Compact, yet practical, and perfect for simple meals and slow mornings. Brew your coffee with the Nespresso machine, make quick breakfasts with the toaster, or cook dinner on the 4-burner electric stovetop with oven and microwave. There’s also a mini-fridge to keep your essentials fresh and a washing machine for longer stays. Everything you need without taking space from your Lisbon adventures.

- Bathroom

Small but functional, with a shower for a quick refresh before diving back into Alfama’s streets.

Why Stay Here?

- Immerse yourself in Alfama’s soul, with Fado houses, viewpoints, and cobbled streets right outside.
- A cozy base for couples or friends who want an authentic Lisbon stay.
- Live like a local, close to the river and the city’s main landmarks.

Good to Know

Among all of Lisbon's neighborhoods, Alfama stands out as the most enchanting. This district is not only the city's oldest but also a labyrinth of narrow streets and winding alleys steeped in history, offering a delightful experience with breathtaking views from Lisbon's highest hilltops.

Partially spared from the destruction caused by the 1755 earthquake, Alfama was once the Moorish quarter of the city. Today, it exudes a captivating charm, retaining its soul, atmosphere, and a delightful small-town ambiance that one often dreams of. Renovated homes in Alfama are excellent opportunities, and many of them even boast splendid river views.
