The apartment is located in Alfama, the most emblematic neighborhood in Lisbon. Set in a visually stunning hill that extends to the neighborhood of Graça, this is Lisbon at its most picturesque and the very soul of the city. Its name comes from the Arabic al-hamma, meaning baths or fountains.Once Moorish and Jewish quarter before it became a fishing community this quaint medieval district is the oldest neighborhood in Europe after El Pópulo in Cadiz and the oldest and most typical neighborhood of Lisbon. It's like a small village, where you can put away your map and wander aimlessly through its "becos" (alleys) and "largos" (small squares), allowing your senses to be the guides.
