A unique 2 bedroom apartment of 100 sqm with its own private terrace and view to the river, in Alfama

Welcome to Alfama Patio - a beautifully designed peaceful nest perched on Lisbon’s spectacular Miradouro Portas do Sol, Alfama Patio, a unique 2 bedroom apartment of 100 sqm with its own private terrace and view to the river. Inserted in a sophisticated project, above the thrum of the Alfama neighbourhood and below the Castelo quarter, the exquisite location provides a peaceful and charming refuge in the heart of Lisbon’s historical center. 

The design of the project including the bringing in of a stunning palm tree, that rises up the height of the building and beyond, onto which every apartment has access, echoing the classic Lisboeta architectural trope, the patio, whereby residents traditionally shared outside space, stopped to chat, pass important outside social hours that the gentle climate and sun demand. With glass facing this important social space, the apartment faces out west, to the charming square or above and beyond, towards the view. Whilst classic architecture to high contemporary requirements define the front west facing facade, to the North and within the units, a more modernist architecture is given voice : massive glass swinging doors, fantastic unique custom made industrial kitchens, moulded brute cement ceilings, terrazzo bathrooms. This apartment really allow the inhabitants to connect with the outdoors, the streets and square outside, the light, the neighbourhood. A thoughtful and well-conceived project that is undoubtedly an architectural contribution to new Lisbon.

Alfama Patio, the building, has the unique feature of two entrances on the ground and third floors - it is literally built into the hillside, looking over a charming square below as well as across the hillside over the stunning roofline of Alfama to the sparking Tejo beyond. Back to the hill, its entrance onto the enchanting and curving Rua das Escolas Gerais, route of the famous 28 tram, which sweeps from the Miradouro Portas do So, so named as it framed the rising sun over the river, around the hillside before, beginning the uphill climb to Graça, the higher Lisbon hill, with its bustling street life, cafes, grocery shops, restaurants. The location, on the sunniest sweep of the valley, is one of Lisbon ´s most picturesque, really stunning.
