We're usually a little bit biased towards homes in Alfama – the neighbourhood is just so beautiful and characterful – but this apartment didn't need the help of its stunning location to make the grade. Your design-loving host has gone through a lot of effort to plan everything with you, her guest, in mind. This super sleek, Scandi-rustic affair made us feel warm and welcome as soon as we arrived. The natural materials reinforce the feeling of a remote cabin – even though it's located at the foot of Castelo de São Jorge, making sightseeing completely organic. Other nearby sights include Sé de Lisboa cathedral and the Museu do Fado – both within a ten-minute walk – while the downtown area of Baixa-Chiado is only a little further. In summary, the style is coherent, the beds are heavenly, and the location is unmatched.
