The view of this compact fourth-floor flat is its trump card. From the kitchen window and balcony, raised above the neighbouring roofs, you look out to the Tejo River. Set over two floors this studio-like home (there are no separate bedrooms) is a good base to explore the Alfama neighbourhood – as one of Lisbon’s oldest districts, its maze of cobbled streets lead to a number of historic attractions like the Castle and Se Cathedral. The home might be small, but its abundance of skylights and stunning view provide a bright and calm environment.
