Why we love it
The setting
Memmo Alfama sits in Lisbon's oldest district, on a narrow lane above the Tagus. The streets here are steep and tiled, full of small squares and old churches. The hotel is a short walk from the Portas do Sol viewpoint and the climb up to the castle. Trams and metro stops are close, so the rest of the city is easy to reach on foot or rail.
What to expect
The Mansard Double room has a full double bed, a private bathroom and air conditioning, set under the building's sloping roof. The rate is room only, so you can add breakfast when you book or eat out in the neighbourhood. The rooftop has a small pool and a wine bar that looks straight out over the river. Lifts and quiet corners help on a tight, sloping site.
Things to do nearby
The Roman Theatre Museum is about 170 m away, with the Museu de Artes Decorativas a little past it. Casa dos Bicos, with its odd pointed stone front, is around 226 m downhill. The Portas do Sol viewpoint sits roughly 259 m up the hill and gives a wide view across the rooftops. The Castle of Sao Jorge is about 483 m away, a short uphill walk.
Best for
Couples who want a quiet base in old Lisbon with a river view and a rooftop pool, and who like walking rather than driving.
