Design and Architecture

The 19th-century building was restored by architect Samuel Torres de Carvalho, blending ancient stone walls with modern micro-cement bathrooms. The property includes a sleek terrace with an inset pool offering views of church spires and the Tagus River. Interiors mix historical elements with contemporary design features.

Hotel Services

The hotel maintains an environmental action plan covering energy consumption and waste management. Staff provide neighborhood recommendations from local perspectives. The property operates on a 'make yourself at home' philosophy, with written reminders at reception. The hotel caters exclusively to adults.

“This adults-only boutique hotel places you in the heart of Lisbon's historic Alfama district. Its modern design respects the cultural heritage of its location, offering an intimate atmosphere. I especially appreciate the honesty refrigerator stocked with local treats and the wine bar with Tagus River views.”

The view of the water was frequently obstructed. Large cruise ships docked each morning. This diminished the scenic backdrop from both my room and the terrace.
