“Tucked away in the higgledy-piggledy streets of Alfama, the city’s most atmospheric district, this hotel is a surprise. Designer-cool and surprisingly large with pool and stunning views. Bright white and cream rooms and suites have wooden floors, clean lines, and private balconies.”

Hotel review

Not only does Memmo Alfama have a calm, bleached-wood and white-on-white minimalist style - quite different from the tightly packed houses around it - but it feels astonishingly big. How do they manage to fit such a spacious hotel - with sprawling lounge, bar-dining room and stepped terraces with swimming pool - into such a tiny space? Admittedly, some bedrooms are a squeeze (and standard rooms have no view to speak of) but all are carefully and minimally furnished - wood floors, white walls, white bedheads, often hooks and hangers instead of wardrobes - to make the most of the space. Wet-room bathrooms are sleek in slate-grey. Most guests hang out on the terraces (some rooms have their own private terraces) soaking up the views. You can breakfast and dine out here, too. Evenings offer a tasty selection of tapas-style dishes - Portuguese cheeses, steak sandwiches - while breakfast is a generous selection of breads, pastries and savouries with cooked dishes to order. Get up early as this is the best time of day to enjoy the sunshine round the pool.
