The hotel Alfama LIS At the doorstep of Alfama and next to the famous Casa dos Bicos Stay at this pleasant one bedroom apartment located in a typical house of Alfama, and experience the life of a city district which has changed little since the 17th century. Cosy and calm, it will be the perfect starting point for your tourist activities in Lisbon. The area surrounding the apartment: If you come to Lisbon, you cannot miss Alfama, one of the most picturesque and historical medieval neighborhoods, a mesh of small tiny streets, cul-de-sacs and stone stairs. Here you will find a mixed population, people of all ages, “true” lisboners or lost tourists come to visit or to listen to Fado. Since it is mostly pedestrian, it is a quiet neighborhood that keeps its old world charm. As in many other places in Lisbon, you’ll find some of the most spectacular viewpoints of the Tagus river and the city. You can still find various forms of traditional commerce, as well as nice quaint little restaurants and bars. From the apartment you can walk to the majority of the most popular sightseeing destinations, such as the “Castelo de S. Jorge” the “Sé” or the “Baixa Pombalina”. For transportation, walk, or go down to Praça do Comercio and its recently opened metro station, or use the popular tram n°28 that zigzags through Alfama and pursues its trip up and down the hills of Lisbon. Although car access is difficult, there are several parking facilities nearby. The apartment: The Alfama apartment is located on the second floor of an old building, in this picturesque district of the capital next to the Tagus river, the famous casa dos Bicos (a house with a remarkable stone frontage) and also close to the Sé Cathedral. The accomodation is a 65m2 renovated one bedroom apartment decorated with simplicity and comfort. With a double bed in the bedroom and a large sofa bed in the living room, it has capacity for a maximum of 4 persons. It also features satellite TV with DVD player, a fully equipped and large kitchen and a bathroom with bath. In wintertime it is heated with electric space heaters. A lovely place to stay in an historical environment just a few steps of the Praça do Comercio ! (source: Friendly Rentals)
