Alfama Terrace on Tejo

« Terrace on Tejo » is a charming 55m2 (600ft2) apartment with two rooms and a 15m2 (160ft2) terrace with a panoramic view on the Tejo River. Very luminous and quiet, the flat is located in the very traditionnal and central Alfama neighbourhood at 50 meters from the Museum of Fado. It's very well located in the rua Jardim do Tabacco, at 5 minutes by feet from Santa Apollonia railway and subway station, 10 minutes from Praça do Commercio, 10 minutes from Sé Cathedral and the famous line 28 old streetcar. Our flat is situated on the 4th floor (WITHOUT ELEVATOR!) in a traditionnal portuguese building with blue azulejos on the facade. Our balcony looks to the south and there is sun all day long. No counterpart, you feel like diving on the river ! We hope you will enjoy taking breakfast on the balcony, watching sailing boats and ferry boats come and go... We planted some trees, herbs and flowers and are waiting for them to grow and cover the walls: don't forget to water them in the evening! Renovated a few months ago, you will find a large cosy living room with an american bar kitchen style in tadelakt and azulejos. Parquet, big round table for sunny breakfasts, piano, sofa, bookcases with a large choice of books and guides about Lisboa : don’t hesitate to use them ! Bedrooms are very cosy and both have a terrific view on the river by large windows. The "pink" room has a high-quality double bed and storages for clothes. The "golden" room has a convertible which you can choose for one or two persons (becomes a double bed) and a dressing. You will also have a bed for babies, 1.20m. Our flat can easily suit for four hosts but it will be ideal to welcome three persons or a couple with one or two children. The bathroom has a large shower and water closet. Little extra: as the shower was built on the balcony, you will have a perfect view on the river while taking your shower ! A very romantic pleasure... The flat’s équipement : Stereo (you can plug your telephone with the mini-jack), TV (only for DVDs, no Tv channels) and DVD player, serveral DVDs, a dishwasher, a washing - machine, induction plate with an extractor hood, a hoover, a fridge with a freezer, a toaster, a kettle, a coffee machine, a hairdryer, an iron, a vaccum cleaner, oil-filled radiators (heaters) and air conditioning.

In one of the comments you may have read about the sound of a night club, it is not open anymore and we are quite releaved about this great news! Our apartement is now always peaceful! Transport When you will arrive by airport you have 3 différents options : You can take a cab that will bring you home in approximately 15 minutes for around 10€ (+ 1,50€ per luggage). Take the taxi at the Départure level (not the arrivals) it's on the 1st floor, it will be cheaper! Ask them to go by the Tejo it's faster. Taxis can bring you at the door of our building. The taxi is the easiest way to come. You can also take the red line of the subway to Sao Sebastiao and then change to the blue line until Santa Apolonia, the terminus. It will take almost an hour and cost 1,25€ by person. And finally you can also take the Aero-bus: it leaves every 20 minutes from 7.45 am to 10.30 pm. Price: 3,50€. Keep the ticket, you can use it during the whole day until 2 a.m! The bus goes from the north to the south of the city in 30 minutes. To go to our apartment get off at Praça do Commercio and then you can walk (around 7 minutes) or take the bus n°728 and stop at Casa Conde. By car: One of the great advantage of our flat is that it's located in the heart of alfama and you can easily park just in front of our building in our street where cars are allowed! District Alfama is the oldest district of Lisboa, the only one who survived from the terrible earthquake of 1755. It kept its very pecular ambiance of village with its narrow streets, its hundred of stairs, its Dead end Streets and « becos ». A lot of mistery here. We hope you will like to loose yourself here by wandering around. Two very nice white churches around : Sao Miguel and San Estevao. You will reside on the heart of Fado's district in a remarkable environment while staying at the proximity of the most importants touristic places of the capital. You will be at few minutes by feet from Praça do Commercio (the most central place of Lisboa where you will find the tourist office) and the Baixa district. A very good place for shopping, you will find there international brands as traditionnal portuguese clothes and decoration shop. There is a bike rental shop at 500 meters from our flat which also rents electric bikes, very useful with all the straight hills of Lisboa. By crossing the Alfama district you will find the line 28 streetcar (that you can see on every postcards of Lisboa !) that will bring you in few minutes in the other districts of Lisboa : Baixa, Bairro Alto, Santa Catarina, Sao Bento, Estrella and finally Campo de Ourique. Bus 735, 781, 782, 728 goes from Santa Apollonia to Cais do Sodre. From this railway station, you have got trains going to Belem, Sintra, Cascais and its beaches : carcovelos or praia do guincho for example. 728 bus goes directly to Belem! Shops, Restaurants & bars You will find the local supermarket « Pingo Doce » at Santa Apolonia for the everyday stuff open from 8 AM to 9 PM. The biggest flee market of the city « Feira da Ladra »stands two times a week, on Tuesday and Saturday, at Sao Vicente da Fora, just behind the Pentiao, at 10mn away by walk. For a gastronomic experience there is a delicatessen, a pastry and a very good bakery on the Largo do Chafariz de Dentro, the lovely square at 50 meters from home just in front of the Museum do Fado. There are few traditionnal portuguese restaurants there that put tables outside : a perfect place for a typical lunch in the sun. Our favorite restaurant : the one at the top right corner: excellent & very cheap grilled fish ! By night, you are in the heart of the district of the best fado clubs. A very good one is at the bottom of our building, in Beco do Melo : Guitarras of Lisboa. But we think the best is in Rua dos Remedios : Mesa de Frades. Don’t forget to book your table ! Later you could have a drink outside at Ginjinha da Sé (very nice owners here), Pois Café or Ondajazz. For the nightclubber, we are also very closed to the mythic nightclub of Lisboa : the Lux Factory !
