Location de vacances Lisbonne - Location Saisonnière Lisbonne Appartement Appartements Lisbonne Alfama- Lisbon- Portugal 1 chambre, 4 couchages

This small and charming holiday apartment is on the ground floor of a renovated medieval building in a charming square near the church of S. Miguel in the centre of the magic neighbourhood of Alfama.

Nearby you have various forms of traditional commerce, and it is walking distance from the majority of the most popular sightseeing destinations in Lisbon.

It is also at a walking distance to the train station Santa Apolónia, connecting the capital to the northern part of Portugal and also to the trains coming from Spain.

The car circulation in Alfama is limited to residents, so if you are coming by car you should find a parking place outside the neighbourhood.

There is a parking place at 3 minutes walking form the apartment at Largo das Portas do Sol.

The apartment is a 25 m2 and has been renovated to include the following:

* one sitting room with a double sofa bed, dinning area, TV and stereo;
* one sleeping room with a double bed (140 cm);
* a kitchen with a washing machine, electric stove and oven, microwave and a fridge with frozen compartment;
* a bathroom with a shower.

In wintertime it is heated with electric eaters.

We will welcome you with a bottle of cold “vinho verde” and a basket of fruit.

You will also find in the apartment some CDs of typical Portuguese music to complete your cultural experience in Lisbon.

Apartment 24 is located in a cobblestone stairs street in Alfama, the medieval Moorish neighbourhood where an emerging cosmopolitanism mixes with the “natives” day-to-day life. It is a village in the heart of the city, due to the fact that most of Alfama’s residents have lived here their entire lives and retain a strong sense of community.

The apartment is at the stairs going from Largo das Portas do Sol and Largo de São Miguel.

Alfama was first settled by the Romans and Visigoths and was an important Jewish neighbourhood in the 15th century, but it was the Moors who gave the district its atmosphere and name (al hamma means springs, a reference to the hot springs used as baths until the 17th century). It is crowned by São Jorge castle, which was built by the Visigoths in the 5th century and enlarged by the Moors in the 9th century.

Be surprised by Alfama's narrow cobblestone alleyways, stairs and squares, built on a rock-hill that was responsible for its survival after the big 1755 earthquake that destroyed most of the medieval city. A walk through this old-fashioned residential neighbourhood is now a step back in time

It is an ideal place to explore hidden places, stunning views over the city, the river Tejo, restaurants, fado houses, or even to dance and eat sardines during the popular June festivals. Here you can find numerous little grocery shops, taverns and small restaurants - most having no more than 3 tables. At the edge of Alfama, Lisbon's renowned flea market, the Feira da Ladra, is held in the Campo de Santa Clara every Tuesday and Saturday.

Contrasting with these timeless images is a trendy modern development by the waterfront across from Santa Apolónia train station which houses stylish design shops, restaurants and bars. From here you can explore the rest of the city walking to the castle (S. Jorge) or to Baixa, Bairro Alto, Chiado or Santa Clara.
