A historic house in Alfama combining spacious interiors, preserved heritage, outdoor space and river views, set within the distinctive atmosphere of this Lisbon neighbourhood.

Alfama is Lisbon's oldest neighbourhood and one of the city's most traditional. It is known for its narrow, winding streets, colourful washing hanging from windows, neighbours chatting on their doorsteps, and viewpoints offering superb views over the Tagus and Lisbon's rooftops.

Renowned as Lisbon's quintessential fado neighbourhood, Alfama is also home to traditional grocery shops and Portuguese taverns, charming azulejo-tiled façades, sloping buildings, churches, courtyards and fountains. Its name derives from the Arabic Al-Hama, meaning baths or springs.
