If you are looking for the perfect touch of Portuguese hospitality, this is your home away from home. Sparkling clean, easily accessible, yet private and quiet. Did I mention very comfy beds??? Beautiful view of the ocean from the morning balcony. Just step outside, and you are within walking distance of all of Alfama... my favorite district of Lisbon. Salvador made our trip effortless by arranging a prompt ride from the airport, and the Concierge was waiting for us in the apartment upon our arrival.
The apartment is accessed off a very quiet little ally, with lots of windows to open safely for enjoying the fresh breeze off the Tagus River. Full kitchen with laundry, allows for the comfort of catching up from your travels.
Salvador offered several very helpful suggestions and always responded immediately to all of my questions. Don’t speak Portuguese? No worries. Everyone speaks English and several other languages.
If you want to enjoy getting to know the special “secret” spots of your Alfama, I highly recommend booking a tour with Igor, “The Soul of Alfama.” Not only educational, but rich with historical facts of Fado, street artists, as well as excellent dining suggestions we enjoyed throughout our stay. He introduced us to significant local residents, many of whom we returned to visit with during our stay.
I hope you will find your stay in Alfama, Lisbon as enjoyable and delightful as we did. Salvador provides a very safe and beautiful place to call “home.”
