Stairs, but without would not have amazing view.

Spectacular view and great location

Stayed in June 2024

The 8-ish flights of stairs. We were traveling around europe making us have medium luggage each so the trip up the stairs were a struggle but that’s about it.

The view! 10/10 view. The interior design was clean and bright. There were towels, shampoo and shower gel provided. Basic cooking materials can be found in the pantry (oil, salt, pepper).

This apartment would be perfect if it had an elevator.

Beautiful, spacious, well equipped and the best view. We also loved the location.

The building was beautiful inside and out. It is true what the other reviews say that you have to be fit to climb the stairs to the flat, but the stairs are real wood, the corridors have high ceilings, very pretty to look at. The flat is bright and tastefully decorated. There were some oranges left for us and we enjoyed them. Antonio was very helpful.

Nothing.

We had a great time in Lisbon. The choice of the apartment was very successful, as it is excellent in all respects. The only downside is that it doesn't have an elevator and you have to climb 92 steps to the 4th floor. But as soon as you see the view from the balcony, you forget all your tiredness right away!! . But above all I want to congratulate Antonio. He is extremely friendly, smiling and informative.

Nothing, except climbing the stairs - but it was no a problem to me.

The view, the balcony, the atmosphere of the flat, the location. Nice shop nearby and whatever you want and need.

The many stairs to the apartment 🙂

AMAZING view from the balcony, great location in the centre of the city close to all major sights. the apartment was clean and well equipped. Close to supermarket, restaurants and a nice little square.

Everything was perfect apart from the four flights of stairs up to the apartment!

We loved the apartment which was spacious and attractively furnished with a wonderful view from the balcony. The location was perfect and we made use of the nearby lifts to get down to the supermarket and pedestrianised area and up to the castle.

Apartment had everything we need, comfy beds, equipped kitchen, clean bathroom. Cherry on top was amazing view from the balcony.

If you have a heavy bag, it is a long walk up to the 4th floor apartment-No elevator. The apartment, however, is totally worth the effort.

Very spacious, welcoming apartment with the most amazing view of Lisbon and the Tejo River. You can see the bridge and the Cristo Rei lit up at night. The apartment is well located for exploring. Antonio is a wonderful host.

4 flights of stairs up were the only obstacle if you are not fit for them but out with that nothing. would definitely go back.

was clean, comfortable, well maintained and the view from the balcony was amazing.

The view over the Lisbon was amazing and we ate breakfast there as well!

We were aware nd expected the walk up, so not a negative for us, but it could be n issue for those with mobility issues climbing stairs.

I can’t think there could be a more beautiful place to spend a few weeks in Lisbon. The apartment is central, near groceries and laundry and has the best view you can imagine. Sunsets were unbelievable, and we could keep tabs on the busy harbour and arrivals. Smiled at all the sunset sailing tours, we always had the best perspective on that! loved Alfama. Our host was very responsive and helpful.

Nothing! I would take note that the apartment is up 4 flights of stairs, not an issue for us, but bare in mind when booking.

Gorgeous apartment with stunning view! The apartment was very clean and had everything we needed for our few days in Lisbon, so glad we booked here and not a hotel. The apartment was very central to everything you might want to see, and right under the castle. Best place to stay in Lisbon! Waking up to the view every morning was amazing, as was watching the sunset in the evening. The host Antonio was so accommodating and greeted us even though it was late in the evening. Can't recommend enough!

Unbeatable view and location as everyone before us has said. We loved staying at Retrato de Lisboa, we could not fault it and would highly recommend it to friends and family. It is exactly as described and shown on the pictures. The apartment is situated a few steps away from the city's main square, in the Alfama district, around the corner from the castle and Lisbon Cathedral. It always felt very safe. You cannot hear any noise at night, you wake up to spectacular views. We slept very well. There are restaurants and bars down the streets, one supermarket also close by. Lots of public transport available. We opted to get a taxi from the airport on day 1, only 24e from the airport. (For the way back to the airport we booked our taxi online with booking.com, that worked out very well too, same price). The stairs weren't an issue for us, so I could not comment on that (travelled with an 8 year old and 2 seniors) , travelling to Lisbon will mean climbing quite a few stairs anyway. We thought this accommodation was great value for money. Washing up liquid, sponge, salt and pepper provided in the kitchen. Lots of towels, a hair drier in the bathroom. Communication with our host was also quick and efficient!

Lots of stairs .. but the view is definitely worth it

The view from the windows is just breathtaking. The apartment is very spacious, it’s nicely decorated, clean and has everything required for a short stay. Thank you, Antonio, for this wonderful stay! We enjoyed the apartment a lot.

In January it can get quite cold in the evenings. The heater is there all right but it struggles at times to warm up the apartment. Also one must be aware that it's 4th floor with no elevator. Not a big problem for a fit family like us though 😉

Perfect view! Beats most other Lisbon miradouros. All the usual amenities of a typical rental apartment are provided. Comfy bed and sofa.
