Alfredo and Maria Tereza are dedicated hosts who double-check everything to make sure their cosy home is immaculate. They've thought of every detail, which means this home is equipped for both short and longer stays. Bella Ciao is a home that represents wanderlust – full of maps, travel-inspired prints, and decorative elements, it creates a welcoming atmosphere that's highlighted by the unique eclectic furniture. The internet isn't the fastest, but with the river view and the iconic location in Alfama, we're sure you won't be bored.

Home truths:
* As with most homes in Alfama, the internet was pretty slow at only 5mbps
* Four guests can stay in this home, but two will be staying on the sofa bed in the living room
* There is no elevator to this second-floor home – those with limited mobility or heavy suitcases beware
* The bedroom window overlooks a narrow space between buildings – there's not much light coming in and no view
