Situated in Alfama, this home sits amidst the winding alleyways of Lisbon’s most historic neighbourhood, just steps from the Santo Estevao Church and its mesmerising views.

With its ancient terracotta-hued façade, potentially predating the seventeen-fifty-five earthquake, this home exudes historic allure from the outset. The interior has been exquisitely renovated and strikes the perfect balance between contemporary comfort and authentic charm. A canvas of white walls, wooden floors and sweeping archways creates a free-flowing ambience of calm, adorned with an eclectic curation of vintage décor and fine art prints collected by the host and their family.

You’re perfectly positioned to explore here, well-connected to the nostalgic number-twenty-eight-tram and just a fifteen-minute stroll from Lisbon Cathedral, Commerce Square, and the Rua Augusta Arch.

Home truths

    Car access is restricted in this area so, even by taxi, you will have to walk a few meters to reach the home

    Even though equipped with very good lighting, the only source of natural light is by the entrance

    Your host can provide a cot and high chair for free upon request

    Though there's enough bed space for four people here, we'd recommend a maximum guest count of two

    This home's kitchen is on the smaller side

    Contactless self-check-in is possible here
