About this property

Travessa II - cozy and charming in historic area

COVID-19 SPECIAL: As long as there are international travel restrictions in Portugal for booked dates, guests that now make their reservation, are allowed to change their booking dates without any penalty.

Located in a narrow alley of old Alfama, this 1st-floor apartment is tranquil and stylish. Tall windows with original wooden shutters and fresh white floral curtains, exposed stonework on the walls of the kitchen and cozy bedrooms are some of the features of this charming apartment, entirely suited to families or small group of friends. Singular and attractive interiors combined with historical exteriors are the key elements for making the most of one of Europe’s trendiest cities.

DESCRIPTION
In a beautiful historical quarter and entirely renovated, this apartment is part of a narrow and discrete alley where cars are not allowed. Its interiors are stylish and comprise wooden floors and original wooden shutters combined with low-key colors, cozy rooms, excellent beds and a nice, spacious common area. The general feel is that the interiors have been very tastefully decorated, always with the guests’ comfort in mind.
The apartment’s blessed tranquility will feel like heaven at the end of a day walking round the streets of Lisbon.

NEIGHBORHOOD
Historical Alfama dates back to the time of Arab occupation (ca. 8th, 9th century AD), which is probably why it is packed with so many Fado venues, as the traditional Portuguese song is supposed to have been influenced by the Arab culture. Quite typical and not at all uncommon is to listen to Fado amateurs singing their hearts out from the inside of their own homes! This charming quarter is also jammed with centuries old monuments, quaint grocery stores, charming shops, a flea market and labyrinthine alleys. On foot, you can reach most of old, historical Lisbon. . On your way, you will also come across grocers, shoemakers and other artisans who have been selling their products for over 40 years! This is real, genuine Lisbon, with which most visitors fall in love at first glance.
You can also marvel, day in day out, at the glistening Tagus river from Alfama’s highest spots. The Fado Museum is another of Alfama’s highlights.

The apartment’s quiet alley is walking distance from some of Lisbon’s “relics”: 5 min to the Fado Museum, Panteão Nacional (where the Portuguese royal family and prestigious Portuguese are buried) and São Vicente de Fora convent; 10 min to São Jorge Castle or the Se Cathedral;15 min from one of the world’s most beautiful square, Praça do Comércio, and the elegant downtown buildings; a little further away, are the aristocratic Chiado and the alternative Bairro Alto with a trendy nightlife. Of course, you will also have to explore Belém – the Museum quarter. So please take a bus or a tram and spend some time there. Loads to see in Belém!

Nearby, less than a 5 minutes walk, runs the ultra-famous 28 tram line which crosses some of the best historical quarters, as well as Santa Apolónia metro and train station which links Lisbon to the whole country. The metro network reaches a good part of Lisbon. Metro and buses can also take you to Cais do Sodré train station which serves the beautiful Cascais and Estoril summer resorts, or to Rossio train station from where you can reach Lord Byron’s beloved village of Sintra.

Heart of Alfama
The property really is at the heart of historic Alfama and is the perfect base from which to explore everything Lisbon has to offer. The apartment is well equipped, surrounded by bars and restaurants yet quiet at night. Lots of communication with the owners and Joyce their local representative who gave us recommendations and info and was always available to answer any questions. We had a great time!

très agréable
Intérieur bien agencé, propre et agréable à vivre. Bonne situation près de la gare Apollonia et dans l'Alfama. Dans une ruelle calme à l'écart du passage des touristes. Petits commerces à proximité (ainsi que restaurants et fado). à 20mn environ du centre (baixa). Très bon accueil avec de nombreuses informations.

Amazing Stay/Lisbon 2014
We are a family of four from Zurich who had the pleasure of staying at this quaint apartment in the historical Amalfa district of Lisbon. The accommodation was very clean and exactly as was shown on the internet and a quick walk to the subway and the supermarket. Our host was very nice, she explained to us all that we could do in Lisbon, specially with 2 small children. We had such a great time. It is was a very special holiday.
