Remedios III - fantastisk flodudsigt, historisk område, 5 min til metro og sporvogn 28

This self-catering 4 bedroom apartment is part of an 18th century building, perfect for a family or a large group of friends. Comfortable and bright, blue and gold are possibly the bestwords to describe the breathtaking views from the apartment windows: intensely blue during the day and melting gold in the early morning and at sunset. The apartment is situated on a hill at the heart of old Alfama near to metro and the famous Tram 28.


DESCRIPTION
Spacious and comfortable the apartment includes 2 bedrooms with river views, 1 towards a quiet alley and a smaller one with no windows. The living/dining room also benefit from the beautiful river light as well as from views of cruise ships passing by. On weekends you are likely to see many sailing boats making the most of Lisbon’s strong breeze. With high ceilings (3,30 m) its interiors exude good vibes. The turquoise rugs sometimes match the color of the sky reflected on the river.

NEIGHBORHOOD
Next to national monuments such as Se Cathedral, São Jorge Castle or Panteão Nacional, you are 4 minutes away from the famous 28 tram, which crosses some of Lisbon’s best historical quarters, but also from the grandiose Praça do Comércio with its symmetrical archways and many wine bars. On summer nights, light and sound performances are frequent here, a good way to enjoy the night’s freshness with a glass of wine in your hand.

However, if you stay in Alfama you will find a different world: narrow alleyways and small squares where you can eat deliciously fresh sardines, boiled potatoes and grilled peppers together with much sangria (or wine). Alfama is also representative of Lisbon Fado (as there is another type of Fado in Coimbra). It can be heard and experienced (because it is an unforgettable experience) in numerous restaurants and taverns, but only at night. Alfama people are also celebrated for being friendly.

The apartment is walking distance from many famous sites: 5 min from Fado Museum,Panteão Nacional (where the Portuguese royal family and prestigious Portuguese are buried) and São Vicente de Fora convent; 10 min from São Jorge Castle and Se Cathedral; 15 min from Praça do Comércio and downtown Rossio square; 25 min from Avenida da Liberdade, the aristocratic Chiado and the alternative Bairro Alto quarters. Of course, you will also have to explore Belém – the Museum quarter. So please take a bus or a tram and spend some time there. Loads to see in Belém!

Nearby, less than a 5 min walk, runs the ultra-famous 28 tram line which crosses some of the best historical quarters, as well as Santa Apolónia tube and train station which links Lisbon to the country’s North and South. The metro network reaches a good part of Lisbon, including the airport. Metro and buses can take you to Cais do Sodré train station which serves the beautiful Cascais and Estoril summer resorts, or to Rossio train station from where you can reach Lord Byron’s beloved village of Sintra.
