Its cool fusion of stylish modern design, with a picturesque setting in the old Alfama district, have created the trendy vibe in this central Lisbon vacation apartment.

Two balconettes offer views and Alfama's small-town ambience, while inside, its vibrant colour and smooth black furnishings strike the right balance in comfort and style.

When you're not relaxing in this Lisbon base, the Alfama district has plenty of sights and leisure spots to explore.

The Portal de Alfama apartment is located a couple of minutes walk from the waterfront, nestled in a pretty street in the Alfama district.

Traditionally a fishing community, Alfama still retains most of its quaint 18th century architecture; terracotta rooftops, little cobbled streets, with shops and flower-filled balconies.

A stroll uphill takes you to the Castelo de São Jorge fortress, with fantastic city views, or visit the market in Campo de Santa Clara. This area has frequent public transports.
