This place is a charming little apartment in the heart of the Alfama district and is tastefully decorated with a wonderful view no matter which window you’re looking out of. From one side of apartment you have the view of the Panteao Nacional and from the other, a beautiful garden with a blooming purple tree. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. The complimentary bottle of wine and continental breakfast was a much appreciated bonus! The apartment was clean and the beds were comfortable.
The location of this apartment is wonderful; If you have a few minutes, make sure to try the chocolate at the chocolate store just in front of the apartment building. It is just amazing!!! If you are mobile enough and don’t mind walking, don’t waste your time and money on taxis, Tuk Tuk or even the metro; you will be able to reach most destinations (Rossio Square, Praça do Comerçio, bakeries, grocery stores etc) within a 10-20 min walk or less PLUS take in the beautiful city at the same time. Otherwise, you are 5 min away from the subway station OR be sure to download the Uber app to your phone which you can use to go to any of the above mentioned places for less than 10 euros. To reach Belèm, it will only cost you approx 12 euros.
Just a quick tip: when travelling by taxi or Uber, have them pick you up or drop you off in front of the Panteao Nacional steps rather than the apartment. For some reason the address has been hard for all of our drivers to find. The Pantéao is about 30-40 steps away to the front door.
Pierre, who greeted us was gracious host and very friendly and pleasant. Communication was easy and timely.
If I ever go back to Lisbon, I will definitely consider going back to this beautiful apartment.
Thank you for the lovely stay.
