Home truths

    Your host operates several apartments here, so the exact view, layout and furnishings might differ slightly from the photos. However, the overall quality should remain the same.

    You may hear some street or construction noise throughout your stay.

    The bedroom curtains here don't fully block out the sunlight. If you're hoping to enjoy a lie-in, you might want to pack an eye mask.

    This host requires your check-in to be within 3-5 days from when the last booking ends. If you are unsure if your dates will work or for help finding alternatives, please contact our Matchmaking Team.

Local guide


About Alvalade

If you didn’t know Alvalade before, you’ll definitely leave raving about it. Technically on the outskirts of Lisbon, this district is a hidden gem away from the bustling centre. It’s away from the seven hills, so it’s blissfully flat – you can explore by bike or on foot without the cardio workout of the rest of the city. It’s also residential, so you get that neighbourhood feel – think families...
