This Alfama apartment epitomizes the historic neighborhood’s signature charm. It’s accessed via an alley just beside Igreja de São Miguele and is surrounded by narrow winding streets full of taverns, shops, and eateries. The home is designed with a central private patio, which is accessed by four separate doors, lending an indoor-outdoor flow. Our favorite detail? The large bathtub with views of the bougainvilleas blooming outside.

A striking interpretation of the Pombalino style, this apartment in Lisbon’s downtown perches on the top floor of an 18th-century building. The renovation of the space was led by design studio CASCA and original details like the high wood ceilings, tiling, and limestone stucco walls give the space a distinguished touch (as do the furniture pieces, which were exclusively crafted for the home).
Rooms: 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms
Amenities: Washer, AC, heating, kitchen.
