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

PERFECT LOCATION
Probably one of the best locations in Lisbon, close by the key historic attractions in the Alfama district. A spacious and comfortable apartment with great views.

Charming retro apartment
This apartment is in an old building on 4th floor on corner so lots of lovely views over the city towards the port and inland. It is decorated in old fashioned style which is very charming. Has most of what you need even for a longer stay. No washing machine but hand washed items dried in a few hours on outside lines. Reasonable wifi coverage. Spacious and airy, can get breeze through rooms although no air con. You can walk from here to many of the sights or use the metro, trams, trains or buses to go a bit further afield. Lots of places to eat and drink as well as buy food close by. Prices seemed very reasonable despite the poor exchange rate. We loved it.

As already mentioned by reviewers, the stairs leading to the apartment are quite an exercise, but the view from the windows and the tasteful decor and details of the apartment are rewarding.

Lovely
The apartment is perfect for a small group willing to climb the stairs for a beautiful view of Lisbon. The tiny terrace is a lovely spot to sit and discuss a wonderful day of Lisbon sightseeing with wine and snacks purchased easily from shops nearby. The location of the apartment is ideal for seeing many sights.

Great Location
The apartment was as advertised and in an excellent location in the city. The checkin and checkout went very smoothly. The only negative comment I have is that the beds were extremely hard and uncomfortable. We found it very difficult to get a decent sleep, which was unfortunate.

Grosses, gepflegtes Apartment in top Lage
Wir verbrachten 4 Nächte in diesem Apartment. Die Lage ist absolut top. Mit Sicht über die Dächer und auf den Tejo. Mit der U-Bahn und den historischen Tramlinien Nr. 12 und 28 kann das Apartment gut erreicht werden. Es hat viele Restaurants in der Nähe. Das Apartment selber ist sehr sauber und bietet viel Platz. Die Fenster sind gut isoliert und man lebt deshalb sehr ruhig. Die Infrastruktur ist in sehr gutem Zustand.

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!

Traumhafte Unterkunft, bei sommerlichen Temperaturen im April
Die Informationen und Beschreibung der charmanten Räumlichkeiten entspricht dem sehr sauberen und aufgeräumten Zustand, den wir auch bei unserer Ankunft angefunden haben. Die Wohnung bietet sehr viel Platz und die Möglichkeit mit dem kleinen, aber sehr schönen Balkon die Abende bei einem Sundowner über den Dächern Lissabons ausklingen zu lassen. Viele Lokale und kleine Bars konnte man ohne Probleme in kurzer Zeit erreichen - auch die Geheimtipps der Gastgeber haben nicht enttäuscht ;) Die Kommunikation war durchgehend unkompliziert, zuvorkommend und sehr transparent. Hier auch ein besonderes Dankeschön an Paula, die uns sehr herzlich empfangen und weitere hilfreiche Tipps hatte. Gerne kommen wir wieder an diesen ruhigen Ort zurück, um Lissabon weiter zu erkunden und die beeindruckende Kulinarik zu genießen! Vielen Dank und beste Grüße!

Grandiose Aussicht über den Dächern der Altstadt
Der Internetauftritt beschreibt die Wohnung sehr genau und treffend. Sie besitzt einen ganz individuellen Charme und bietet in verschiedene Richtungen wunderschöne Ausblicke, die man ganz für sich ohne die Touristenmassen, die die öffentlichen Miradouros bevölkern, genießen kann. Für den täglichen Gebrauch ist alles vorhanden (außer einem Fernseher, aber dafür sind die Fenster da). Alles ist top gepflegt, sauber und ordentlich. Die Matratzen mit den wärmenden Bettdecken waren super. Es besteht die Möglichkeit, einzelne Räume mit Elektroöfen zu heizen. Gold wert, wenn man in den kühleren Monaten dort ist. Die unmittelbare Umgebung ist ein Traum. Graça, Alfama, Mouraria mit dem Castelo sind in greifbarer Nähe. Aber auch darüber hinaus gibt es überall was zu entdecken auf den 7 Hügeln dieser einzigartigen Stadt. Gutes Schuhwerk und Regencapes sind dabei unsere beste Ausrüstung gewesen ;-). Wir kommen gerne wieder und hoffen dann auf den ersehnten Sundowner auf dem Balkon. Vielen Dank und beste Grüße an Seppi, mit dem die Kommunikation super geklappt hat und an Paula, die vor Ort sehr hilfsbereit war.

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.

Sehr gute Lage, im Winter jedoch kühl
Die Lage der Wohnung ist perfekt. Sie liegt mitten im lebendigen, interessanten, zentralen, architektonisch reizvollen Stadtteil Alfama. Der Blick über die Stadt vom Balkon aus ist sensationell. Wir waren im Dezember in Lissabon, da ist die Wohnung schwer warm zu bekommen und sehr feucht. Die drei Schlafzimmer sind nicht gleichwertig, eins ist innenliegend und hat kein Fenster. Der Zugang über eine sehr lange, steile Treppe war bei unserer Reise mit einer älteren Person etwas beschwerlich.
