Photos and Description of the Alfama vacation apartment rental
2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, maximum 5 people, Graça - Alfama

This apartment is located in a very typical area on one of Lisbon’s seven hills. The resplendent rooms are all with big windows facing Tagus River and São Jorge Castle. Across the road you find a typical Portuguese bakery, I recommend you to try Pão da Avó (Grandmother bread). Within five minutes walk you are in the castle; on the opposite side at the same distance, you get to various museums and monuments. You also cannot miss the exciting city tour, taking the famous tram No. 28, it stops 50 m from the apartment. All kind of shopping and important churches and museums are easily accessible by walk.

Guest Book: Dear Joao!

We would like to impress you our sincerely thanks for our staying in Lisbon in your apartment.

It is really good and we have been feeling ourselves there same as at home.

All information about your apartment we received from internet is true and it is even better in reality than in computer.

Please, give our best regards and thanks to Paula!

Dear Joao

This is to thank you for your lovely apartment in Gra?a Lisboa. We so enjoyed our holiday there. Lisbon is a beautiful city.

It was lovely to have been met and welcomed by your wife who showed us round the place and explained how everything worked. Such a warm welcome made such a difference! Thank you also for the Port. That too made a difference! We loved how bright and airy the flat is, and that it had everything we needed. It is so conveniently located for sightseeing, shops, the centre of the city, and also to a taxi rank! We hope to return in the spring!

Guest book: Joao

Thank you so much for our wonderful holiday in Lisbon. We loved the apartment; it was very comfortable and well appointed; and the view was spectacular. We particularly enjoyed staying in the Gra?a area and were regulars at Baga - Baga. Tram route 28 was also great fun and once we found out you can buy a day pass for all the transport in Lisbon in the shop next door to Baga - Baga (perhaps you might tell your guests this) we spent a lovely day on the trams and elevators. We had very good food in Lisbon and particularly enjoyed Tasca de S? opposite the S? Cathedral.

Thank you once again; please also pass on our thanks to Paula and her mother for looking after us so well.

Ol? Jo?o,

Thank you for the great time we had in Lisbon. The apartment was everything we hoped for and we would definitely recommend it to other people.

Also, the bottle of Port that was waiting for us when we arrived was very nice..

Dear Sr. Reis,

Many many thanks for your beautiful apartment. We enjoyed staying there very much - I have also recommended it to some of my colleagues here in London who are thinking of a short holiday.

With best wishes for the New Year,

Alex London

Bom Dia Joao,

Dear João,

We have just had a most fantastic week in Lisbon. Your apartment is even better than you described and located in a wonderful part of the old town but thank heavens for the number 28 tram.

When in the apartment we spent ages just sat in the window taking in the marvelous views of the castle and the Tagus.

Please thank Paula for her welcome.

Lisbon’s Cathedral was built in 1147 on the site of a mosque by King Afonso Henriques in triumphant symbolism following the Moorish defeat. S. Vicent Church was built following the conquest of Lisbon in 1147. Miradouro Santa Luzia - Lisbon’s dazzling vistas are the most memorable images of the city and miradouro is one of most romantic. S. Jorge Castle is dominating Lisbon’s skyline. The dramatic castle stands where Lisbon first began. Miradouro da Graça provides more breathtaking views over Lisbon. Visit the Roman theatre museum: the Roman theatre, originally built in the first century BC by emperor Augustus was rebuilt in AD 57, during the time of Nero. The Graça-Alfama Castelo is unfolding like a medieval diorama beneath the mystical Castelo. The Alfama is Lisbon’s spiritual heart. It’s an old Moorish quarter where ribbons of alleyways coil into blind alleys; where crooked alcoves reveal timeless vistas and where old world rituals and costumes unfold like an old Pathé newsreel.

Bon séjour à Lisbonne

4 of 5
Submitted: November 6, 2009 Stayed: October 2009
Nous avons passe une semaine de superbes vacances à Lisbonne. Mon mari, mes 2 enfants et moi avons apprécié cet appartement très bien situé, à proximité de tout, avec une superbe vue. La salle de bain, un peu petite pour ranger les affaires de 4 personnes, mériterait un petit coup de "fraîcheur" (peinture, ajout de rangement ...). Sinon, tout etait très bien. A ne pas recommander aux personnes AYANT des Difficultés pour monter les escaliers.
Quartier calme, voisinnage et famille aussi accueillante.

Sehr, sehr nette Wohnung mitten im Graca. Der tolle Ausbilck auf Burg und Tejo wird uns sehr fehlen. Viele Sehenswürdigkeiten, der Flohmarkt und die schönsten Aussichtspunkte der Stadt sind fussläufig erreichbar. Die Begrüssung vor Ort war sehr herzlich und in der Wohnung fehlt es an nicht. Wir waren mit unserer 3 Monate alten Tochter in Lissabon und hatten alle 3 eine tolle Zeit . Der Bäckerladen an der Ecke ist ein muss !!! 2 Supermärkte sind gut zu Fuss zu erreichen wobei wir den etwas weiter entfernten pigo doce bevorzugt haben (weil mehr Auswahl...).
Die 28E und 12E fahren in unmittelbarer nähe der Wohnung ab. Wer ein besonderes Mitbringsel sucht sollte den kleinen Laden Atelier Porta 16 um die Ecke an der Rua de Sao Vicente 28 besuchen. Hier gibt es allerhand selbstgemacht und schöne Dinge.Wir kommen wieder...ganz bestimmt !!!

Review Submitted: 27 January 2013 Date of Stay: January 2013
Very very nice apartment in the Graca. The great view of the castle and Tagus will be sorely missed. Many sights, the flea market and the best views of the city are within walking distance. The welcome was very warm spot in the house and there is no shortage. We stayed with our 3 months old daughter in Lisbon and had a great time every 3. The bakery on the corner is a must! 2 supermarkets are easily accessible on foot where we have a little further away, the preferred Pigo doce (because more choices ...).
The 28E and 12E, exit at the immediate vicinity of the apartment. Those looking for a special gift should visit the small shop studio Porta 16 around the corner on Rua de Sao Vicente 28th There are all kinds of home-made and beautiful things. We'll be back ... for sure!
Owner's Response: We are allways very happy to know that our guests love the place.Thank you very much.

Perfect stay

Joao, a perfect stay, good house and a warm welcome from
Paula.
Everthing was perfect to strate exploring the centre, although due to X-mass many activities were close (shops ) Although to wander around in the Alfama area, or to walk to the train station, all was within a fgew minutes walking distance. The house was complete, nice to live together with local people. We loved our stay and can recommend yout house as a very good start. Thaks you again and happay new year.

Great Value, Comfortable and Convenient

4 of 5
Submitted: November 19, 2012 Stayed: October 2012
The apartment was "as advertised" in every respect, except that the views of the city are even better than they look online. Mrs. Paula met us, showed us in, gave us some very useful tips about Lisbon, and even arranged for a pre-dawn taxi when it was time to leave (not that the latter was really necessary, the neighborhood has an abundance of taxis available 24/7).

The place was clean, adequately furnished and had more than enough room for our family of four. It's very conveniently located to shopping, dining and within short walking distance of some major tourist sites (try the flea market at Fiera Da Ladra - very cool). Rossio Square, which is the center for busses, trams, metro, train to Sintra, is only a few minute's walk - be warned, though, the return trip is a steep climb, albeit with amazing views at every turn!

The one caution I would give is that it's not a place suitable for the very aged or infirm - the adjacent thoroughfares, and the apartment building itself, require a lot of stair climbing. We've stayed at vacation rental apartments all over the world, and this one ranks near the top in terms of being an extremely good value in a superb location to see the best of Lisbon. Highly recommended.
Owner's Response: Thank you very much for your review.
We are very happy to know that you had a pleasant stay in Lisbon and enjoy our apartment.

Great place to stay and explore the city

5 of 5
Submitted: November 12, 2012 Stayed: September 2012
We visited Lisbon for ten days in September and stayed at Travessa das Monicas the whole time. The apartment is an ideal starting point for exploring this fascinating city, either by foot or public transport.
We were very happy to find that everything was as described on the website; the apartment has everything you need for a nice, relaxed self-catering vacation in an authentic neighborhood. Mdme. Paula was very nice and always ready to help. The apartment offers a great view over the river and also over to the Castelo, which we recommend visiting.
We encountered the first highlight of our vacation right on the first evening, when we went up to nearby miradouro Graca, which offers a spectacular view over the city, especially at sunset.
We also liked Belém a lot - delicious pasteis, beautiful tower and monastery and impressive Monument of the Discoveries.
If you are traveling with teenagers, you might want to take the train from Cais do Sodré to Carcavelos (about 20 minutes by train) - the waves there are spectacular!

All in all, Lisbon is a great place to visit, and the apartment is everything one can hope for. We'll be back!
Owner's Response: We are very happy to know that you had a nice time in Lisbon and enjoy our apartment.
Thank you very much.
