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

Outstanding apartment in Graca
We spent three nights in this wonderful, centrally located apartment in Graça. It is very comfortable, well equipped and bright, with great views! We would highly recommend it, and look forward to returning ourselves.

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!

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.

Beautiful view of the city. Very clean, spacious and nicely decorated apartment. Be aware that there are 50 steps to the apartment, which can be difficult with heavy luggage. However, if that is not a problem for you, then the apartment is fantastic!

Wonderful charming clean apartment let’s you experience Lisbon and feel like a local. Yes there are very steep stairs and no air conditioning but it wasn’t important to us and a lovely view from the top floor. Helpful responsive host and Paula nearby is wonderful. We highly recommend. Ideal location to walk everywhere.

Great stay in Lisboa
Thoroughly enjoyed staying here. Very authentic neighbourhood. Got a great work out going up and down the steep stairwell and it s a cheap Uber ride from the airport. Everything you need is close by. You don't have to go far to find a grocery store, coffee shop, market, restaurant or tourist attraction. There was also lots going on in the city. Bring good walking shoes. The cobblestones are killers : ) Josef provided a great info sheet before we arrived and I personally really appreciated his willingness to accommodate our specific check in requests.

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.

Great place in a great location
A charming clean apartment. The views are amazing from this apartment. It is well worth the walk up the stairs to get to the apartment. It helped walk off all the great food in Lisbon. There are lots of restaurants and bakery shops nearby. We were able to walk to all of the main tourist sights. Granted it is very hilly, but so nice to walk around in this beautiful city. The apartment has so much character with all the antiques and cheerful colors. The kitchen was well equipped and the beds were comfortable. There was a little street noise with the windows open, but it wasn't that bad. There was good WIFI connection. Good communication with the owner and quick responses. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend it.

Charming, cozy and centrally located!
Loved staying at this place! The panoramic views were stunning and MANY huge windows created a much-needed cross-breeze. Didn’t even miss the AC! (Note to light sleepers: the birds are quite active in the early morning. A white-noise app will do you wonders!) The location is great - lots of things to see in the area and a short walk to tons of others. Very close to grocery, multibanco atm, restaurants and shops. Paula, the neighbor and our contact, was very nice and helpful. Would stay here again and highly recommend!

Gorgeous view!!
The apartment is so cute. It’s defintely older and there are lots of stairs (as others have mentioned). But the views are incredible and there are lots of windows and balconies to enjoy the city and the breeze. What was surprising was how loud Alfama was at night (especially on the weekend). Locals told us it’s been changing in recent years with the influx of tourists :( The internet was spotty except next to the router (in the kitchen).
