Stunning river view Portuguese Soul XXL Terrace in picturesque Alfama, sleeps 12
Exquisite, charming building dating back hundreds of years, recently renovated.
Situated in the heart of Lisbon’s historic center—Alfama, the city’s most picturesque and authentic neighborhood—this apartment places you just steps away from some of Lisbon’s most famous monuments.
Its standout feature is a spacious terrace boasting a breathtaking view of the Tagus River and Alfama’s iconic rooftops.
It can host up to 12 people.
This magnificent property comprises two separate apartments in the same building, rented together. It is spread across four floors, with a modern open interior staircase:
- Ground floor: Apartment with a bedroom, living room, kitchen, bathroom, and shower. - First floor: Large suite with a bathroom and shower (separate entrance). - Second floor: Two bedrooms (one with a double bed and the other with two single beds) and a bathroom with a shower. - Third floor: Two bedrooms (one with a double bed and the other with two single beds), a bathroom, and a shower. - Fourth floor: Living room with a sofa, armchairs, and a large terrace with a superb view over the Tagus River and Alfama.
This premium space offers exceptional comfort, elegant golden accents, and abundant natural sunlight. One of the building’s defining features is its remarkable brightness—thanks to large windows and classic iron balconies, sunlight pours in from every angle throughout the day
This apartment is a haven for those who are passionate about painting, poetry, and the arts in all their forms. As you explore the space, you'll encounter stunning oil paintings brought to life on a variety of surfaces — from traditional canvases to furniture, walls, and more.

Portuguese Soul, the perfect place to nourish both your mind and soul.
This apartment is not suitable for people with mobility restrictions or young children.
The property consists of four apartments (I, II, III, and IV) available for individual rental (with capacities of 10, 6, 2, and 2 people, respectively) or as a whole (accommodating up to 20 people). If your desired dates are unavailable, please check the availability of our other apartments. It is possible to combine two or more apartments to accommodate a larger group.
Since the apartment is located in a historic area, cars are not permitted on the narrow street. However, the nearest point for a taxi or Uber drop-off (in front of the Fado Museum) is just a 3-minute walk away.
For parking, you can park near the Fado Museum (free at night), which is only a 3-minute walk from the apartment. Alternatively, there is parking available at Campo das Cebolas, about a 10-minute walk away. In our opinion, a car won’t be necessary, as many attractions are within walking distance.
We offer self check-in, with entry codes sent to guests prior to arrival. Early check-in and late check-out are available upon request, subject to availability, at no extra cost.
The apartment is equipped with a home alarm system and a safe box for your convenience.
NOTE: Attention for June! Lisbon is known for its June street parties and Alfama is the heart of those festivities. Throughout old Lisbon, there are "arraiais" (old word for open-air party), where local restaurants set up shop on the streets and barbecue and grill sardines, etc. and people go drinking and dancing. On the nights of the 9th, 12th 23rd and 27th of June, the narrow streets become extremely crowded with local parties. Although it is a great atmosphere, it is very loud well into the night. If you want peace in June, Alfama is not the indicated neighborhood for you. However, if you are looking to be in the center of the action, then there is, without a doubt, no better place.

8 people could spread out and have space. Nice meeting area and balcony. Steps are tight and steep so need to have good mobility. Nice cafes very close. A/C very good.

We're delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay with us.
Thank you so much for your 5-star review!
Warm regards,
Ana
We loved our stay here. There were eight of us (four couples), so we appreciated the size and number of bathrooms. We fell in love with the Alfama neighborhood - it's not the "city center," so you do a bit more walking to get places, but we loved the location. We had no trouble getting to other parts of the city. Host was responsive, and the listing was as-advertised. Would absolutely stay again.

About the host
Hosted by Ana Nunes
Hi, I’m Ana! I have a deep love for Lisbon and a passion for painting. Together with my sister, Sónia, we transform accommodations into spaces rich in history and tradition, that tell visitors stories of our country. We love working with recycled antique furniture and Portuguese handicrafts, and we're especially passionate about incorporating artwork and thoughtful details. The result? Spaces that nourish both the mind and soul.
Why they chose this property
Alfama is the heart of Lisbon, a beautiful maze of narrow streets, colorful houses, and breathtaking views. As one of the city’s oldest and most charming neighborhoods, it’s filled with vibrant history and tradition. Wandering through Alfama feels like stepping back in time, with its cobblestone alleys, hanging laundry, and the sounds of Fado music echoing from cozy taverns. From the hilltops, you can enjoy stunning views of the Tagus River, while every corner reveals hidden gems, from quaint cafes to ancient churches.
What makes this property unique
Great location in Alfama Large terrace and a fantastic river view Exquisite golden decoration and paintings Premium features and high standard of comfort Plenty of natural light
The restoration of historic houses is our passion. With a deep sense of Portuguese identity, we draw inspiration from our country’s history, traditions, and rich cultural heritage. These elements are at the heart of what we call the "Portuguese Soul." We love rolling up our sleeves and getting to work, whether it’s demolishing, rebuilding, or decorating. The entire process of breathing new life into old spaces fills us with a sense of purpose and pride.
