Emilia

, Alfama

Tucked away on a quiet street just steps from the iconic Sé Cathedral, Emilia combines fine design and quality finishes. Filled with light and offering breathtaking views of the river, the apartment includes one bedroom, a walk-in wardrobe, and an open-plan kitchen—perfect for anyone seeking a stylish and comfortable living space in a historic location.

Completely renovated in 2021, this 135m² apartment was transformed from its original three-bedroom layout into an expansive one-bedroom suite. At the heart of the home, you’ll find an elegantly designed living room with an open-plan kitchen, framed by windows overlooking the Lisbon skyline. The apartment also includes a master bedroom and a wide walk in closet. Both the kitchen and bathrooms showcase marble stone finishes in warm beige and taupe tones.

Custom finishes curated by stylist Rebecka Fransen include bespoke carpentry, custom skirting boards, and hand-selected Farrow & Ball paints, along with a carefully designed lighting plan featuring dimmable options throughout.

Located in Alfama, the oldest neighbourhood in one of the world’s oldest cities, this apartment sits within Lisbon’s cultural and historical core. Alfama, once the entirety of Lisbon, derives its name from the Arabic term al-hamma (الحَمّة), meaning "baths"—a reminder of Portugal’s 500 years under Moorish influence. Within Alfama’s maze of narrow alleys, hidden dens, and secret salons, the soulful music of fado was born. Today, Alfama preserves Lisbon’s old soul, with its fado houses, cobblestone streets, and stunning miradouros (viewpoints), making it one of the most distinctive and vibrant places to live.
