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 XXL rooftop with breathtaking views of the Tagus River and Alfama’s iconic tiled roofs.

It can host up to 10 people.

This magnificent property is a quadruplex apartment with a modern open interior staircase:
- First floor: two bedrooms (one with a double bed and the other with two single beds) and bathroom with shower.
- Second floor: two bedrooms (one with double and two single beds) and bathroom and shower.
- Third floor: bedroom with a double bed, a bathroom with shower and a fully-equipped and brand-new kitchen with dining area.
- Fourth floor: living room with a sofa, armchairs and a large terrace with the most 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. Adding to the magic, the house is beautifully adorned with hand-painted verses from beloved Portuguese poets, creating a truly immersive artistic experience.

Bedding and towels are provided, as well as shampoo, shower gel, hand soap, and body lotion. Additional amenities include Wi-Fi, cable TV, air conditioning, a dishwasher, washer and dryer, coffee machine, toaster, and hair dryer.

A stay here feels like traveling back in time. At Portuguese Soul Alfama, you will be immersed in an awe-inspiring environment with golden paintings and walls, intricately decorated ceilings, vintage furniture, traditional Portuguese tiles, expressive oil paintings and a multitude of striking crystal chandeliers.

Portuguese Soul Alfama is the perfect place to nourish both your mind and soul.
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.

This apartment is not suitable for people with mobility restrictions or young children.

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.

    Good location, was close to what we needed. house was very nicely appointed , kitchen was equipped with everything, we loved the small terrace with some great views it was perfect for sunrise & our nightly wine and cheese We had a small issue with some lights not working but Ana had an Electrician come and take care of it right away. Home had so many nice things about it. Beautiful furniture , nice artwork and poetic writings on the wall. Very historic area home has a lot of stairs but we managed nicely.

    An amazing apartment in the heart of Alfama, the oldest neighborhood of Lisboa. The host was a great communicator and the property exceeded our expectations!

    In the heart of Alfama, this house was truly a gem. The location was excellent, giving us a real taste of the authenticity of a Lisbon neighborhood. Let me first say, I’ve never stayed at a more meticulously arranged and clean VRBO. The amenities were great and communication with Ana (owner) was seamless. The pastry shops were right downstairs, and there were many good restaurants for any meal. We were also in the midst of festivals, which were a blast! Thank you Ana for sharing your passion with us!

    We stayed in this lovely apartment with our sons and significant others--seven adults in all. We had plenty of space and really enjoyed the sitting room and the terrace. The kitchen was also perfect for a family dinner. As advertised, the stairs are narrow and steep and would prove an obstacle for people with mobility issues, but we had no problems. We came to Lisbon for a family wedding, the festivities for which were in various places. We had no trouble going to the nearby square for Uber or Tuk Tuks. We prefer to walk and walking to most sights and public transportation in Lisbon was also easy. The apartment is across the street from a wonderful pasty and coffee shop, and we can recommend all three restaurants on the street (for dine in and take away). The neighborhood is busy, a little noisy, but very friendly. Ana and her sister were available, helpful, and incredibly accommodating for us. It was wonderful.

    We had the most amazing stay at this apartment in Lisbon. The apartment was beautiful, we loved the rooftop patio. We could hear the Fado music up there each night while we relaxed with bottles of wine after dinner. Everything you need is there. Ana, our host was so thoughtful and communicated well. There was a little bit of a walk with our suitcases…about 3 minutes up hill as no cars are allowed on the street. So as long as you’re mobile, it’s not a problem. We actually enjoyed the authenticity! Stay here, you won’t regret it! Check in and check out process was super easy.

    We had an incredible stay at Ana’s property for our family vacation and wedding trip. Ana was the perfect host—extremely responsive, accommodating, and never once made us feel like a burden, no matter how many questions we asked. Before the trip, she was instrumental in helping us organize accommodations for 12 people so we could all stay together as a family. She was also very understanding when we needed to adjust payments with multiple credit cards. Her experience working with people and her kindness truly stood out. As for the house, it was gorgeous, exactly as pictured. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the linens were fresh, soft, and high-quality. The towels were also great, and when we requested additional ones, they were delivered within 12 hours—impressive! The location in Alfama is both amazing and convenient, though the hills are steep, which is just part of the charm of the area. Our group, ranging in age from 30 to 74, managed the terrain just fine. Overall, our stay in Alfama was spectacular, and both Ana and her beautiful property are absolute gems. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
