    You won't find a welcome hamper or basic essentials here. We’d recommend packing some bits and bobs to get you started.

    There is a dedicated desk here if you need to catch up on work during your stay

    Given the home's location, it’s possible you may hear some street noise throughout your stay.

    Parking in Lisbon can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to easily accessible public transport where possible.

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...
