Photos and Description of this Lisbon holiday apartment 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, maximum 5 people, Graça - Alfama

This apartment is located in a very typical area on one of Lisbon’s seven hills. The resplendent rooms are all with big windows facing Tagus River and São Jorge Castle. Across the road you find a typical Portuguese bakery, I recommend you to try Pão da Avó (Grandmother bread). Within five minutes walk you are in the castle; on the opposite side at the same distance, you get to various museums and monuments. You also cannot miss the exciting city tour, taking the famous tram No. 28, it stops 50 m from the apartment. All kind of shopping and important churches and museums are easily accessible by walk. If you decide to enjoy the apartment, you are invited to take a glass of Port wine in your check-in.

Lisbon’s Cathedral was built in 1147 on the site of a mosque by King Afonso Henriques in triumphant symbolism following the Moorish defeat. S. Vicent Church was built following the conquest of Lisbon in 1147. Miradouro Santa Luzia - Lisbon’s dazzling vistas are the most memorable images of the city and miradouro is one of most romantic. S. Jorge Castle is dominating Lisbon’s skyline. The dramatic castle stands where Lisbon first began. Miradouro da Graça provides more breathtaking views over Lisbon. Visit the Roman theatre museum: the Roman theatre, originally built in the first century BC by emperor Augustus was rebuilt in AD 57, during the time of Nero. The Graça-Alfama Castelo is unfolding like a medieval diorama beneath the mystical Castelo. The Alfama is Lisbon’s spiritual heart. It’s an old Moorish quarter where ribbons of alleyways coil into blind alleys; where crooked alcoves reveal timeless vistas and where old world rituals and costumes unfold like an old Pathé newsreel.

Further details for this holiday apartment rental in Lisbon, Portugal

Guest book: Joao Thank you so much for our wonderful holiday in Lisbon. We loved the apartment; it was very comfortable and well appointed; and the view was spectacular. We particularly enjoyed staying in the Gra?a area and were regulars at Baga - Baga. Tram route 28 was also great fun and once we found out you can buy a day pass for all the transport in Lisbon in the shop next door to Baga - Baga (perhaps you might tell your guests this) we spent a lovely day on the trams and elevators. We had very good food in Lisbon and particularly enjoyed Tasca de S? opposite the S? Cathedral. Thank you once again; please also pass on our thanks to Paula and her mother for looking after us so well. The Lesters - England - 2008 Ol? Jo?o, Thank you for the great time we had in Lisbon. The apartment was everything we hoped for and we would definitely recommend it to other people. Also, the bottle of Port that was waiting for us when we arrived was very nice..

Dear Sr. Reis, Many many thanks for your beautiful apartment. We enjoyed staying there very much - I have also recommended it to some of my colleagues here in London who are thinking of a short holiday. With best wishes for the New Year, Alex London Bom Dia Joao, at first let me thank you for the pleasant stay in your apartment while we visited Lisboa. We really enjoyed staying in your apartment in the heart of old Lisboa! Going around with the tramp 28 to everywhere ... Lovely ! Best regards from Germany to you, Paula and the friendly guys at Mourica's Bettina Gotzen Dear João, We have just had a most fantastic week in Lisbon. Your apartment is even better than you described and located in a wonderful part of the old town but thank heavens for the number 28 tram. When in the apartment we spent ages just sat in the window taking in the marvelous views of the castle and the Tagus. Please thank Paula for her welcome. Mr/Mrs MURRAY 2007

Review of Historic Lisbon apartment

Waterbeach Cambridge, UK
Review Submitted: August 25, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
I thoroughly recommend this property rental. Administration was prompt, friendly and efficient. Paula and her mother, who met us at the beginning and end of our stay, were welcoming and helpful. The owner left very helpful details in the property (some of which might usefully have been sent in advance). The whole apartment was clean and the rooms are very attractive, well furnished and well supplied. The location was perfect for anyone who wants to enjoy the character of the old town. There is a good supply of local shops. The views are beautiful. Excellent value for money.

Apartment with a view

Harri and Minna Espoo, Finland
Review Submitted: July 31, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
Clean and well-maintained apartment at a central location. It was very easy to take walks to old parts of town and tram no 28 and bus no 34 took us around Lisbon. In the area there are local restaurants that provide reasonable priced meals and the bakery is just across the street. Besides us, our three children (3, 8 and 11 years) enjoyed Lisbon very much as there are a lot to do and see. Paula was very friendly and helpful throughout our one week visit - many thanks to her!

Wonderful Lisbon Rental

vic & pam Santa Clara, California, USA
Review Submitted: April 30, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009
This apartment is high on a hill with great views down to the river. It has modern kitchen facilities, two bedrooms with double beds and a large, comfortable living/dining room. There is a price for being able to enjoy the apartment and the views: to get to the apartment you have to walk up three flights of fairly narrow circular stairs. Hence we cannot recommend the apartment for the disabled, or for families who have to carry infants or equipment up and down the stairs. The famous tram number 28 stops nearby, while taxis cruse for passengers every few minutes. It is a short, but uphill walk to Graca, with extensive shopping, restaurants, more trams, taxis and wide views over the city.
We enjoyed our stay at this apartment, and recommend it for your visit to Lisbon

An Opp't to Experience Portuguese Living

Couple with a teenager Brussels
Review Submitted: April 25, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
Before leaving home, we received helpful tips and a map on-line from the apt.owner on the best ways to get from the airport, places to avoid and interesting neighbourhoods to visit. On arrival, we were warmly greeted by Paula who offered good advice and suggestions. It was great to know she was close-by to ask questions of. The apt. had everything we needed, was clean, quiet and well-located for walking and/or to catch public transportation. It provided a wonderful opportunity to experience living in a typical, historic,Portuguese neighbourhood where we were welcomed like good friends in the small restaurants and shops (a smile is understood in every language and we exchanged lots of those). We indulged in the luscious pastry shops and wonderful fresh buns and bread from the bakeries. The weather was excellent and we look forward to returning to this beautiful city.

Review Submitted: March 1, 2009 Date of Stay: January 2009
We spent the first week of February in the apartment and had a thoroughly enjoyable time. The flat is pleasant with good views, although you should be aware that you need to climb two flight of very steep stairs. The electric radiators are not an ideal solution for heating in winter months but we coped happily enough. Paula, the caretaker, is excellent and amongst other things, very kindly helped us with internet access and ordering taxies. Our experience of Portugal was very positive. Most people speak English (and don't mind speaking it), public transport is impressive (although the warnings about pickpockets need to be heeded: we saw several gangs at work), and there is plenty to see. Food is abundant and cheap, although it has to be said the general standard of "eatery" cooking is not too high. Our only negative experience on the trip was with the Sol Nasciente, a restaurant which is near the flat by the nearest 28 tram stop, and they tried to charge us 16 euros for some bread and cheese they gave us while we read the menu. This said, this was the ONLY bad experience we had as tourists in nine days of intense activity, which I think further emphasises what a good place Lisbon is to visit.

In conclusion, I would happily recommend the flat to anyone who wants to explore this interesting city.
