Lisbon Serviced Apartments – Mouraria

Lisbon Serviced Apartments – Mouraria Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Lisbon Serviced Apartments – Mouraria on Rua de São Pedro Mártir, you immediately sense you’ve found something special. This four-star property sits right in the heart of Mouraria, one of Lisbon‘s most authentic neighborhoods — and I mean actually authentic, not the touristy version of it. The building itself has that beautiful Portuguese character you hope for, with traditional azulejo tiles and wrought-iron balconies that make you want to grab your camera before you even check in.

The Neighborhood Experience

Honestly, the location is what makes this place shine. Mouraria is where real Lisbon happens — you’ll hear fado drifting from tiny tascas, smell grilled sardines from neighborhood joints, and see locals chatting on their doorsteps like they’ve done for decades. It’s a five-minute walk to the iconic Tram 28 stop, and you can easily reach Rossio Square or the Alfama district on foot. What I love is that you’re close enough to all the major sights but far enough from the cruise ship crowds that flood Comercio Square every morning.

The Apartment Setup

These aren’t your typical hotel room — each apartment feels like a proper home base for exploring the city. The one I stayed in had a fully equipped kitchen (which honestly saved me a fortune on breakfast), a comfortable living area, and enough space that my partner and I weren’t tripping over each other’s suitcases. The decor strikes that perfect balance between modern comfort and Portuguese charm — think contemporary furniture with traditional touches that don’t feel forced or overly themed.

Daily Life Here

You know what I appreciated most? The little things that make a difference when you’re staying somewhere for more than a night or two. There’s a small restaurant downstairs that serves solid Portuguese comfort food — nothing fancy, but the kind of place where you can grab a quick bifana when you’re too tired to cook. The staff actually knows the neighborhood and can point you toward the best pastel de nata spot (hint: it’s not the famous one all the tourists line up for). Parking can be tricky in this area, but they’ll help you figure out the street situation if you’re driving.

Why Guests Love It

This place works especially well for couples — there’s something romantic about having your own little Portuguese apartment in such a characterful neighborhood. The 8.1 rating makes sense when you experience how the location lets you live like a local while still being incredibly close to everything you want to see. You’ll fall asleep to the sounds of the neighborhood settling in for the night and wake up to church bells echoing off the narrow streets. It’s the kind of place that makes you understand why people fall in love with Lisbon in the first place.
