Apartment in Alfama with beautiful river views

The Alfama River I apartment is a 1-bedroom 4th floor apartment with truly magnificent views of the expansive River Tagus estuary, and suitable for up to 4-5 guests.

This attractive Lisbon apartment is nestled amongst the cobbled streets, picturesque squares and traditional fado restaurants of the charming Alfama district.

Ample natural light enters from the balconies, illuminating the soft pinewood tones and opal colour accents, to create a fresh and breezy interior with some superb river views.

This flat is a 4th floor apartment, and one of a pair because we own and rent the 3rd floor apartment also. Both apartments have the same space and facilities and can be rented together if you have a large group.

The building is located right next to the traditional Alfama district, and is literally just 2 minutes walk from the Santa Apolonia metro & train station. This apartment has wonderful views of the river, Santa Apolonia station and the Doca do Jardim de Tabaco area of restaurants. Looking to the west, the Cristo Rei statue across the river in Almada can be seen from both the living room and bedroom windows.

Just a short walk to major sights such as the National Pantheon, the Fado Museum, Lisbon Castle and Lisbon Cathedral, together with the central squares of Rossio and Praça do Comércio, this apartment offers you convenience in an ambient setting.

The apartment offers free broadband wi-fi internet, and all mod-cons such as washing machine, dish-washer and air-conditioning.

This area has plenty of cafeterias, bars, traditional fado restaurants, as well as the small village-type shops typical of Alfama.

In the Santa Apolonia station there is a "Pingo Doce" supermarket and just opposite the station there is a chemist's (pharmacy). On the opposite side of the main road, next to the river, there is a large open-air carpark which charges just 4.95 euros per day.

The area is convenient for sight-seeing: you can easily walk to the central Praça do Comercio square in about 15 minutes, and the wonderful "miradouros" (viewpoints) of Alfama, like the Portas do Sol, and Miradouro Santa Luzia are just a 10 minute walk away. The majestic Panteão Nacional (National Pantheon) - where the famous fado singer Amalia Rodrigues is buried - is just round the corner.

Note: this is a 4th floor apartment in an old traditional area of central Lisbon, where the buildings don't have lifts/elevators and is therefore not suitable for wheelchair users or guests with mobility problems.
