Portas Lisboa | Apartment in Santo Estevao, Portugal

This recently renovated, romantic apartment is located on the ground floor of a charming, centuries-old building.
Situated in the heart of Lisbon’s historic center—Alfama, the city’s most picturesque and authentic neighborhood—this apartment places you just steps away from some of Lisbon’s most famous monuments.
This premium space features intricately designed ceilings, exquisite golden decor and a high level of comfort, offering a truly exceptional experience.
The apartment features a romantic bedroom with a double bed, separated from the living room by a golden “gaiola pombalina”—an iconic wooden structure used in Lisbon’s buildings after the earthquake. The apartment also includes a bathroom with a shower, a fully equipped kitchen, and a cozy interior patio.
Bedding and towels are provided, along with shampoo, shower gel, hand soap, and body lotion. Additional amenities include Wi-Fi, cable TV, air conditioning, a coffee machine, a toaster, and a hair dryer.
A stay here feels like traveling back in time. At Portuguese Soul Alfama, you will be immersed in an awe-inspiring environment with golden paintings and walls, intricately decorated ceilings, vintage furniture, traditional Portuguese tiles, expressive oil paintings and a multitude of striking crystal chandeliers.
Portuguese Soul Alfama, the perfect place to nourish both your mind and soul.
The property consists of four apartments (I, II, III, and IV), available for individual rental (with capacities of 10, 5, 2, and 2 people, respectively) or as a whole (accommodating up to 19 people). If your desired dates are unavailable, please check the availability of our other apartments. If you would like to combine multiple apartments to accommodate a larger group, feel free to inquire about pricing and availability.
Since the apartment is located in a historic area, cars are not permitted on the narrow street. However, the nearest point for a taxi or Uber drop-off (at the Fado Museum) is just a 3-minute walk away.
For parking, you can park near the Fado Museum (free at night), which is only a 3-minute walk from the apartment. Alternatively, there is parking available at Campo das Cebolas, about a 10-minute walk away. We believe a car won’t be necessary, as many attractions are within walking distance.
We offer self check-in, with entry codes sent to guests before their arrival. Early check-in and late check-out are available upon request, subject to availability, at no extra cost.
The apartment is equipped with a home alarm system and a safe box for your convenience.
NOTE: Attention for June!
Lisbon is known for its June street parties and Alfama is the heart of those festivities. Throughout old Lisbon, there are "arraiais" (old word for open-air party), where local restaurants set up shop on the streets and barbecue and grill sardines, etc. and people go drinking and dancing. On the nights of the 9th, 12th 23rd and 27th of June, the narrow streets become extremely crowded with local parties. Although it is a great atmosphere, it is very loud well into the night. If you want peace in June, Alfama is not the indicated neighborhood for you. However, if you are looking to be in the center of the action, then there is, without a doubt, no better place.
