Alfama Ascent

One thing Lisbon is famed for is its hills. And staying here, you'll become well-equipped for taking on any future mountain climbs. Because this apartment is at the top of one of the Alfama district's steepest hills, leading up to São Jorge Castle. But boy, the climb is worth it. The cool breeze of your hilltop location is a summertime delight, and the apartment itself is a chic blend of minimalism and bright art fixtures to add a pop of personality. The view of the Tagus River from here is uncluttered and unrivalled, perfect for that majestic sunset. And when you can't face the hills, the nearby Santa Justa Lift will get you up (and down) in no time.

Home truths:
*This apartment is on the second floor of a building at the top of a steep hill. The view is undeniably worth it, but those who struggle with a climb may wish to look elsewhere
*Four-legged friends are not able to stay in this home (and they'd likely struggle with the hills anyway)
*The wi-fi here can be pretty patchy. We'd recommend this for guests who plan on being out and about for much of their stay
*The street is not accessible by car.
