About
Saudade Guest House - Lisbon
Saudade Guest House occupies a charming old building on Rua Augusto Rosa, a quiet street in the heart of Lisbon's Alfama district. With only eight rooms, it offers a personal, no-frills base for exploring the city's most atmospheric neighbourhood. The guest house is a five-minute walk from both the Miradouro das Portas do Sol viewpoint and Lisbon Cathedral, placing you amid the narrow lanes, miradouros, and traditional tascas that define Alfama.
Rooms are simple but comfortable, with city views and some featuring balconies. The Superior Family Room adds a single bed for families. All guests share the well-equipped kitchen and two bathrooms, which are cleaned daily. The staff are frequently praised for their warmth and helpfulness, with several reviewers mentioning an especially lovely Scottish girl. The building is quiet, and the tram noise is barely audible with doors closed. A range of massages can be arranged on site.
