About this property

Sun light, views, comfort and the Castle at your feet

Alfama 5 is on the first floor (no lift) of an old building recently fully refurbished.
Renovation was complete and carefully accomplished: pre-existing old materials like the wooden floor and ceilings were incorporated with the new. Apartment has now a modern and well equipped kitchen and a full bathroom, functional bedrooms with large closets and air conditioning (heat and cold) in the living room.
Decoration is sober in a cheerful family style that makes the flat very cozy.

The apartment can accommodate up to 4 people with full comfort. It is composed of a living room and dinning area, modern kitchen and two bedrooms with double beds. A full bathroom and a small storage room complete the apartment.
Alfama 5 has a small balcony and two large windows that let in lots of sunlight. Balcony faces the little square in front of the entrance to the Castle with really nice views and the Castle is literally at your feet.

Location was good but be aware it is near the top of the area ( have to go back uphill at the end of a day) and that you are right outside the castle which means noisy line ups all day and stores below open until 11:00pm

Beautiful spot with great amenities right in the heart of all the action. Busy during th day but very quiet at night. Steep steps to get in. Check in very easy. Everything you need within easy walking distance. Castle right beside you! Beautiful views. Bit of a walk after taxi/uber drop off but not very hard. Hosts very responsive and accommodating!

I loved the location of the accommodation, and we were happy to walk everywhere - but I had no idea how steep the streets would be and how slippery the cobbles were in the torrential rain we encountered. The apartment was not updated in the way I have come to expect and not having a way of drying our wet clothing except for the line hanging over the street made life a little difficult. There was also a noise problem from the apartments above and below. But having said all of that I loved being there - it is so old and so Portuguese - narrow streets, cobblestones, tiny shops, narrow staircase and all! I would not have changed any of it.

The location was great, the apartment was clean and the host was amazing. The only issue was that we could hear everything that was going on in the apartment upstairs, as if there was no sound proofing. There was a lot of noises during the night or early in the morning, so we did not sleep well at all during our stay.

Absolutely fantastic stay in this lovely property. The hills can work your calves (!) but it’s worth it. Check in was smooth, contact with Mario beforehand very easy and Rui who we met on arrival was lovely. The apartment had everything we needed and being right next to the castle was absolutely fantastic. Nothing was more than a short walk away - I would definitely stay again and recommend to others. The only niggles I would mention would be there is air con only in the main living area - not a problem for us at this time of year as windows open in the bedroom allowed a nice breeze before closing them before bed. There were also fans in the bedrooms which helped. The only other thing was that upstairs were fairly noisy - unsure if they’re locals or were just visiting but this didn’t impact on our enjoyment/ stay. My only recommendation would be a lamp in the living area (because I like dim lighting in the evening; very aware that’s personal preference). Everything was very clean and tidy, and there were thoughtful touches throughout. Lots of space to pop things and like I said, wouldn’t hesitate to stay again. Locals were friendly and lots of choice for food nearby which was all delicious. Thanks again Mario for a wicked stay.

Great location - clean and spacious

Four of us stayed for 4 nights. Plenty of space and privacy, excellent facilities, including toiletries and laundry tablets. We loved the location of the property, opposite St George Castle entrance. Great to people-watch from the two large balcony windows. Easy communication with host who organised transfers for us to/from airport.

Nice Place in a Good Location

We enjoyed our stay in this very livable space - kitchen, laundry, multiple spaces for spreading out and relaxing. The location is good for exploring. It's bit noisy at night with local peacocks (who live at the castle next door) and humans - making bird sounds and rolling out recycling. Overall happy with the stay!

Great location!

Situated right beside Castle St. Jorge is perfect location in the Alfama district. Clean, bright and spacious enough for 4 people. Great communication with our host, Mario. Surprisingly quiet given the foot traffic through the streets. Very comfortable stay.

Historical atmosphere, nice and clean place

Nice and bright apartment in old house and on historical place (in front of a castle). Attracting old town area in Alfama. Many things to do and see on walk distance. Place is also good for walking in hilly and stony streets.

Mario and Rui were extremely attentive and kind. We were able to leave our bags early and explore while they were cleaning the flat. They provided us with a basic map of the immediate area. It’s a tucked away area other than the castle on a narrow street and is nice and quiet at night. Please be advised that the flat is up a hill and Ubers and bolts are not permitted in the section that the flat is in. It is only a 6 minute walk from the pick up spots, but it’s that for your first arrival to the flat that you take a taxi, which are permitted to get you close to the flat. We could hear the folks in the unit above us, but it didn’t bother us much and we normally sleep with ear plugs. It does get more lively as the day goes on because it is quite literally next to the castle. There’s a small shop across the street to grab waters and snacks and the wonderful LUDO’s, a cafe around the corner. There’s also a bar where you can get sizeable spritzes and beers if you fancy it.It can get hot in the back area of the flat especially if you have the AC on, so be sure to keep the door to the living room and bedrooms closed to keep it cool. The AC unit is in the living room, so we used the fans provided to move the cool air into the bedrooms and kept the doors open. The flat checked the boxes on our basic needs and we would stay again! Only ask would maybe to have more pillows, but that is just a personal preference :). Thank you Mario!!

Great location minor comfort issue.

Our recent stay was a mixed experience. The location is excellent—right below the entrance to the castle, which made it very convenient for sightseeing. However, this also meant it was quite noisy, especially throughout the day and evening.The apartment itself was generally comfortable and nicely kept, but a few more amenities would have made the stay more relaxing. A coffee table and a more spacious or cozy seating area would’ve been appreciated—after a long day of walking, there wasn’t really a good place to put your feet up and unwind.The beds were comfortable, which we appreciated, but there were a few issues with the bedding. There were no top sheets provided, and the duvets or comforters seemed in need of a fresh cleaning.Overall, it was a decent stay in a great location, but with a few small improvements, it could be much better.
