Castle Setting and Events

The hotel sits within pedestrian-only medieval walls, featuring a courtyard garden with medieval remains including an ancient cistern. During Santo António festivities in June, the surrounding streets fill with music, dancing, and grilled sardines. The property provides free internet access, computer use, printing services, and a video library.

Alfama District Location

Solar Do Castelo is the only hotel within São Jorge Castle walls in Alfama, one of Lisbon's oldest areas. It's 300 meters from St. George's Castle, 500 meters from Lisbon Cathedral, and 1 km from Rossio Square. The location is pedestrian-only, accessible via narrow cobblestone streets lined with flower pots and bird cages.

Guest Services Available

Services include 24-hour front desk, concierge assistance with Lisbon recommendations, laundry service, and wake-up calls. The hotel provides free Wi-Fi throughout, computer and printer access, and non-smoking interiors.

“Solar Do Castelo immediately impressed me as a true Alfama gem, set apart by its location within the medieval castle walls; the peacocks strolling the garden courtyard feel like a surreal privilege. The interior design merges contemporary style with historical accents, while the honesty bar adds a touch of intimate charm. It's a distinct and quietly remarkable stay.”
