Another fabulous visit to this perfect spot above the Tejo! I first stayed in this great apartment with a girlfriend in 2014 and always wanted to return with my husband, so we did - to celebrate our tenth wedding anniversary. He loved it as much as I did.
Yes, it's a long climb up to the fourth floor, but the reward is a long terrace overlooking the magnificent river and an apartment flooded with light. Playing Fado music on the CD was the icing on the cake as we basked in the views. The cruise port is bigger than it used to be and big ships are in much of the time but they are gone by early evening.
We spent four days walking what felt like every inch on this wonderful city, and it reinforced our opinion that the apartment couldn't be in a better position. Easy access to everywhere - especially the lovely old part of Alfama and all those Fado restaurants - and just a short stroll to the huge commercial square where we loved sipping a drink with some tapas.
We will certainly go back and would unhesitatingly recommend the accommodation (if you can cope with stairs!)
