01 · In a sentence

Tandem Palacio Alfama in Lisboa, open MaySeptember.

Built in the 18th century as a noble residence in Lisbon's historic Alfama district, Tandem Palacio Alfama Suites has been meticulously restored to preserve its original architectural character while introducing contemporary luxury.

The palace's grand facades and period details now house 50 guest suites, creating an intimate backdrop for destination weddings within the city's most atmospheric neighborhood.

Guests experience both the venue's storied past and modern amenities across its carefully renovated spaces.

The apartment was very clean, and sanitary items such as toilet paper, dishwashing liquid, paper towels, and kitchen towels were provided in a new pack for single use. The apartment was well dusted and vacuumed. The bed sheets could have been cleaner and of better quality, but they were acceptable overall. Reception is only available for a few hours during the day, and the emergency contact number provided was not always answered. Swimming pool was not usable during our stay in Christmas time. Water was almost green.
