About this apartment rental
THE MARIALVA MOUSTACHE HOME
The moustache is a remaining part of portuguese history. Formerly related to village women, belly taxi drivers, typical street police officers amongst others.
Nowadays we look better, yet the moustache remains in our imagination. Did you noticed that in only 7 seconds you’ve learned something from our history that you don’t get to learn from books?
In these apartments you’ll be able to feel like a local, instead of a tourist. Situated in one, if not our most traditional p ortuguese neighborhood, you will be surrounded with our most famous monuments, best restaurants tasting unforgettable portuguese food while listening to some great Fado! At the end of the day, you will rest in a century-old, comfortable and bright house, enjoying the view of our Tejo river and Alfama neighborhood with everything you need, feeling as if you are at home.
THE NEIGHBORHOOD
Until this day, Alfama is still one of those places where you can find the more classical moustaches in the City. Get to know the most iconic monuments in the City, and those who carry inside the soul of the Fado and the Portuguese discoveries. Find a friendly face right around the corner, and dip your moustache in unforgettable delicacies every time you get the chance. Fall in love with beautiful terraces with great views all over Alfama. The Tejo river is right around the corner, as well immediate transportation for any part of the city, the beaches or Sintra if you like. But before doing so don’t miss the following:
- Panteão Nacional: Contains the tombs of several Portuguese presidents, writer Almeida Garrett (one of the country's leading 19th century literary figures), and in recognition of her iconic status, Amália Rodrigues, the most famous Fado diva.
The building is on the plan of a Greek cross, and the interior is covered in beautiful, multicolored slabs of polished marble. It is crowned with a dome that provides a 360-degree view of the river and the city.
- The "Feira da Ladra": Lisbon's flea market is held nearby on Tuesdays and Saturdays.
- Convento de São Vicente: Beautiful building with a breathtaking view of the city.
- Castelo de São Jorge: Picture yourself as a king and get familiar with this Castel that offered protection to city, with over ten centuries of existence, it is one of Lisbon’s seven hills that you shouldn’t miss.
- Mouraria: Known for its multicultural rainbow of culture and gastronomy.
- Miradouros Santo Estevão e de Santa Luzia: Here you will forever hold in your heart this beautiful city and neighborhood, be ready for a superb view over the neighborhood and the Tejo river.
- Museu do Fado e da Guitarra Portuguesa (Fado & Portuguese Guitar Museum): This is most certainly a unique museum, holding instruments, history, culture and one of the best ways to understand what “saudade” (missing) stands for in this musical style.
- Museu do Azulejo (Tile Museum): Ceramics is one of the oldest and more interesting activities of this country, in this museum you will get to know its history e see some of the most fascinating’s examples of this industry.
- Sé de Lisboa
- Miradouro das Portas do Sol

This cute and cozy apartment was the perfect base for our 5 days in Lisbon. There are numerous restaurants, cafes, wine bars and grocery stores within a few minutes walk and the charming old neighbourhood of Alfama is an absolute delight to explore on foot. It is close to the route of the number 28 trolley. Many popular attractions such as the castle, Lisboa cathedral, Rossio square, the Time Out market etc. are all within a 20-30 minutes walk. The host provided detailed helpful instructions and advice and responded promptly to any questions.

This appartment is very well located. Lots of nice restaurants all around the area. It has every convenience and is well kept. Felicidade and her cleaning lady are always available and supply great advice. Remember that it is a “mansarde roof” upstairs…the bedroom is comfy but you need to be mindful of the ceiling. The neighborood can be noisy at night, but to me it’s all part of great experience

6 / 10Average·Oct 2023
The unit itself is in such a great location. Everything was walkable, lots of great restaurants and bakeries nearby. It was spotless and had everything stocked well. Communication with the owner was good and lots of recommendations given about the area and what to so. The only problem that was quite significant was there was only hot water for the first morning we were there. The unit is a bit warm at night for sleeping. We went the next two days without a full shower because the water was totally cold. It is an old building, which makes it quite lovely, but hot water is something that is a need for us. If you don’t mind cold showers then not an issue.
