Alfama stretches across one of the seven hills of Lisbon, which leads from the foot of St. Jorge's castle and sweeps down to the Tagus estuary. It consists of narrow, cobbled streets and alleys, steep steps from one area of the district to another, small patios and picturesque squares. It maintains its traditional churches, shops, markets, cafeterias, restaurants and buildings, all maintained by the local inhabitants, many of whose families have been living in this old part of the city for generations.

The best way to get to know Alfama is to get lost in its timeless labyrinth of intertwining alleyways, as inevitably you will. But this is no problem - it will allow you to fully enjoy and experience the sights, sounds and smells of the oldest part of the city, enabling you to discover small taverns, traditional shops and good restaurants.

Perfect apartment in pefect location!

Review Submitted: August 25, 2011 Date of Stay: August 2011
We've just come back from a short holiday in Portugal during which we spent 3 nights in this great apartment before moving on to the coast. Roger was very helpful both prior to our arrival and with a query whilst we were there. The apartment is very clean, beautifully decorated and well-equipped - we loved the bed both for its appearance and its comfort and the air-conditioning was a boon for a stay during hot weather. We also loved the huge velux window which we could open and look out of at the great view. Being in the midst of things in Alfama I had worried about street noise at night but everything went quiet at a reasonable time and we didn't hear anything and slept extremely well. Being situated down one of the alleyways there's no traffic noise either!

It's just a short walk away from one of the best viewpoints in the city, Largo das Portas do Sol, where the really useful tram route 28 also passes through. The Sao Jorge Castle is also a short distance away up the hill and the whole of the city seems easily accessible by public transport. We had our best meal sitting outside a tiny cafe in Alfama which seemed to be used by locals more then tourists. Unfortunately we can't remember exactly where it was but the sardines and salad were just wonderful and so reasonably priced.

You really can't go wrong staying here unless you can't manage steps! We'd highly recommend this apartment and would happily stay here again if we should ever return to this fascinating city with it's very welcoming, friendly people.

Don't hesistate, go for it!

Review Submitted: May 11, 2010 Date of Stay: September 2009
The apartment is very nice, fully equipped and has a great location: Alfama, in the best part of it, right between Porta do Sol and all the small, narrow streets that go down through that old and fascinating quarter of Lisbon, where you can take a walk in quietness and still feel the warmth of the locals, only sometimes coming cross some other tourists like you.
Only difference is that, staying in that apartment, you do't feel like a tourist, but like a local.
And the sight is splendid and romantic.
And that's one of the best things of that location!
Besides, the owners are very nice and the price is totally competitive if compared to anonymous big hotels or even small pensions with less personality than this comfortable apartment.
Don't hesistate, go for it!

Very picturesque

Review Submitted: May 11, 2010 Date of Stay: August 2009
Regarding the apartment, I really have nothing to complain about. It was perfect for our purpose, great location, central, not to mention very picturesques in the middle of the Lisbon Old Town, right next to one of the best Miraoudouros in town (or whatever it spells like) walking distance from most major attraction in Lisbon. All in all, great value for money, I have no hesitation in recommending it to any future Lisbon visitor.
Also, your kind assistance and patience with us was much appreciated.
Many many thanks for looking after us; really hope to have the chance to come back to Portugal; in the meantime, I'm advertising it madly to anyone in earshot.
Best Regards, Ileana

We had a Fabulous Time!

Review Submitted: March 9, 2010 Date of Stay: February 2010
We absolutely loved our week in Lisbon and cannot wait to come again! Our duplex in Alfama was perfect - very comfortable, clean, well-equiped, well-maintained, we had no issues with anything - and when we did have a question, Roger always answered promptly. Apartment feels truly spacious - 3 of us never felt cramped inside - and round bed is definitely huge and comfortable (too comfortable in fact, waking up was difficult!). The round bed was a hit with our 9-yr old!
Location of the flat was perfect for us - public transport was just steps away, and if we felt like walking, we would just wander the little alleys and stairways downhill and eventually we'd find our way to the river... Alfama looks like the maze on the map, but it's actually surprisingly easy to navigate... and even getting temporarily lost is a good thing, as it always led us to new discoveries...
Information provided by Roger and Ana Paula on the website is very exhaustive and detailed - as I mentioned to Roger, he should add the info about tram #12, as we found that line quite useful, but otherwise, they really thought of everything. Even before we booked the flat, Roger answered all my pesky little questions (re. nearest supermarket, closing hours of the stores, etc) via email and encouraged me to ask anything else I might think of... :)
I am now telling anybody and everybosy who would listen about the fabulous stay we had in Lisbon and how great our apartment there was - and for our next visit, we will not bother looking any further - just hope that Roger and Ana Paula will have a vacancy for us!
