Lisbon, Portugal Vacation Rentals

Surrounding Area

Visiting Alfama is to visit the architecture, the sounds and the smells of old Lisbon. This is one of the most typical Lisbon's quarters. On its narrow streets you'll find a the hidden treasure and on its steep stairs you will be able to breathe the soul of Lisbon. Alfama is one of the most emblematic quarters and one of the most rewarding for walkers and photographers thanks to its medieval alleys and outstanding views.
Because its foundation is dense bedrock, it survived to the 1755 earthquake, and a walk through this old-fashioned residential neighborhood is now a travel in time. It is a village within a city made of narrow streets, tiny squares, churches, and whitewashed houses with wrought-iron balconies decorated with pots of flowers, drying laundry, and singing birds.
It was settled by the Romans and Visigoths (it was also an important Jewish quarter in the 15th century), but it was the Moors who gave the district its atmosphere and name (alhama means springs or bath, a reference to the hot springs found in the area). They were also responsible for its web of streets created as a defense system, while at the same time enabling their homes to remain cool in the summer.
Alfama has influenced poets and novelists, and although Bairro Alto is the city's traditional Fado quarter, it is Alfama that has always been the inspiration for Fado songs, and is becoming just as popular with Fado Houses. The district has an intangible quality that needs to be experienced to be truly appreciated, and the best way to get to know it is to get a little lost (something almost impossible to avoid), and wander around admiring the postcard-perfect views, visiting the churches, and walking up to the castle for the most breathtaking panorama of the city and the greatest sunsets.
Contrasting with these timeless images is a trendy modern development by the waterfront across from Santa Apolónia railway station. It houses stylish design shops, restaurants, and one of Europe's top clubs: "Lux."

Vacation Rental Property

This duplex apartment, recently renovated, is located in one of many charming alleys of Alfama. Though close to the best restaurants, cafés and Fado Houses, it's not disturbed by their noise or by traffic, since the street has no car access.
The Bedrooms are located on the 2nd floor of the apartment, accessed by a small stair whose walls are decorated with traditional tiles and beautiful black & white pictures. Both rooms are provided with linen.
The Bedroom facing North has a double-bed with a latex mattress. A wardrobe for your clothes and where you can find extra blankets and pillows. It's decorated with soft and natural colors for a relaxing good night sleep.
The second bedroom, facing South has two single beds both with latex mattresses. This room is decorated with brighter colors which make you feel alive and reminds you of Springtime. From this room you may appreciate the majesty of Tagus River, one of the larger and most beautiful in Europe, and also the old blacksmith's chimney, considered a national monument since one of the lasts in Lisbon.
On the 1st floor of the apartment you have the living-room and the dinning- room. Like the rest of the house, both are decorated with soft and natural colors Hanging on the walls you'll find paintings of two of our favorite artists: Picasso and Joan Miró. For your entertainment we also have Satellite TV, DVD and CD player, Portuguese music, books, films, board and card games. From the small balcony enjoy Alfama's life and the river view, the bird singing in the morning, and prepare for a nice walk through Lisbon's seven hills.
The dinning room is decorated in monochromatic colors It's prepared to seat four people at the table, though there is room enough for more. It's a relaxing place where you can enjoy a good meal and taste an excellent Portuguese wine.
Our yellow kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to prepare a good meal after a long walk in the city or a strong breakfast to conquer the hills of Lisbon.
