The building that once housed the workshops that tied the loaves of the Royal House, owes its name to this past, which is evidenced in all corners of the property. According to the report of a typewritten document, searched at the Olissippo- nese Library of Studies, this building was the former dwelling of a marquee founded by the Marquis of Pombal to tin the dishes of the Royal House - "the doors each had a royal crown and the couplet which read: Officina da RealCasa (Workshops of the Royal House) ". According to the same report, in 1921, there was also a boilers workshop in this building- Orrico & Carricchio. All the pieces, tools and instruments that give name to the apartments were in use in the former Officina Real that existed in this place, being now valued and exposed, returning the Alma (vitality) to this patrimony. In total there are 10 T1 and T1 + 1 apartments, destined for tourist rental. The apartments are decorated, furnished and equipped, integrating all the facilities

Getting there
Great for walkers
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travelers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
I can’t believe how lucky we were to select this place for our nights in Lisbon. We got off to a great start with the complimentary transport waiting for us at the airport to take us to the hotel. Upon realizing we were there a bit before opening time for the reception desk, the concierge, Pedro, let us in early so we could drop off our luggage. He was so accommodating when we stopped by a few hours later to retrieve items from our bags prior to the room being ready for check in, and when we went back after check in time, he had graciously taken our bags to the room for us. Speaking of our room, it was spacious, clean, and had every amenity we could have needed, A breakfast of fresh bread, meat, cheese, fruit and yogurt was delivered to our room daily. The location was ideal - so close to many restaurants and attractions. And once again I need to sing the praises for our wonderful host! He made our stay one of the nicest I have had and we hated to leave. Hopefully I will have an opportunity to visit Lisbon again and will definitely stay here!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Apartment I could say perfect and full of comfort. Very rich breakfast served in the room with excellent desserts served in the morning directly from the pastry shop in the street. Strategically located, walking distance to any local Attraction. The only downside is the noise of the adjacent street during the we because in the center of the Lisbon nightlife, but then you are right in the heart of the city a stone's throw from everything.
Recommended for everyone, families and not to fully experience the city. With three/four nights you see everything, including Belém and Sintra.

Great location: Walking distance to key spots like TimeOut, Barrio Alto, and the river. Subways, trams, and buses all stop nearby.
We had top floor Deluxe room. It’s spacious, clean, and well maintained. There’s a tiny balcony facing the busy Main Street. But the double pane windows helped seal out the noise.
Washer/Dryer combo was much appreciated.
Agree with others that breakfast was great. In the Apt refilled daily included fresh fruit, cold cuts, sliced cheeses, tomatoes + sliced cucumbers, granola, jam, yogurt, milk, and bottle of water.
The staff is so thoughtful. We had the car service pick us up early at 6:30 next day and staff provided fresh bread and pastries the night before as we’d miss our 8:30am delivery.
Only 1 rating down for the bathroom. It is super tiny to share, with limited counter space. We had to place toiletries in the nearby closet.

An aparthotel, or the feeling of living in the heart of this incredible city that is Lisbon!
The impression of living there but better: - Filipe at the reception is in the light of the Lisbonites: very welcoming, very kind and helpful. - a breakfast that will please everyone: salty, sweet, Portuguese coffee machine (Delta) and fresh bread hanging on the door handle in the morning. - a great location: on the edge of Bairro Alto and Chiado, two lively districts of the city - a decoration between modernity and Portuguese tradition (the bathroom tiles are reminiscent of the famous azulejos)
I recommend and I will probably return!

I had an excellent 2.5 week vacation in Portugal, where I spent the first 7 days and the last 5 days at Almaria Officina Real Apartment. The apartment was very clean, beautiful, and very well well-maintained, completed with daily cleaning service and excellent amenities. Superb breakfast is delivered daily that includes a variety of local breads, and occasionally my favorite one, pastel de nata!😍 Oranges were always provided daily in the fridge for us to make our own squeezed orange, along with cheese, tomatoes, fruits, yogurt, etc.
Both of my stays have been wonderful, particularly as one of which was coincide with my birthday, and I received typical Portuguese birthday cake (Pão de ló com doce de ovo) from Almaria team. It was such a lovely surprise for me! 😍😄 While during my second stay, I received a bottle of wine to welcome me back from my Madeira trip😍. The Almaria team were also all very nice, friendly, and very helpful during my stay. Very excellent service! I hope they all enjoyed the Indonesian chocolate I shared with them😄. To be noted, the location of apartment is also very good, as it is located in the center, near to supermarkets, restaurants, bakery, shopping districts, etc. Highly recommended for any purposes of stay - business, pleasure, and to all types of travelers - solo, couple, family.
Thank you Almaria team for making my fifth visit to Lisbon, a memorable and pleasant one. Would definitely stay there again for my future visit! 😉

Excellent stay, well-equipped apartment with stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, and the pleasant surprise of a washing machine and dryer, which was very important for the continuation of our trip through Europe! Every afternoon the refrigerator was stocked with cold cuts, fruit, yogurt, eggs, milk for both a nominal snack of the day and for breakfast. Not to mention the warm bread every morning, delivered to your door. Concierge Catharina was very helpful and attentive at all times during our stay. Comfortable room, enough space for 1 couple and one more guest on the sofa bed in the living room. High quality bathroom products, towels and linens. The welcome bottle of wine, warm cream puffs and biscuits as daily treats were pleasant surprises. Great location. Without a doubt, on a new trip to Lisbon, we will stay in Almaria.

Helpful, kind staff combined with a comfortable spacious apartment helped us make the most of a short break. The apartment had everything we needed in it and although the street outside was noisy (tram 28 route) the shutters shut out most of the noise at night. Super king size bed was very comfortable. Daily cleaning was very efficient and having fresh rolls and croissants delivered every morning made a brilliant start to the day. The fridge was topped up with milk, butter, jam and oranges every day. Short walk to tram stops and Baixa Chiado metro so easy to get around. Had a great holiday!

In one word ... Incredible! Starting with the communication before our stay, asking about our preferences, dietary restrictions, and wish list for our visit. Upon arrival, a warm greeting with a personal handwritten itinerary and walk thru of the apartment, to include stocking the fridge with plant based milks and yogurts for my husband. Throughout our stay the entire staff was so incredibly helpful it made you feel as if you were the only guests they had. And finally, on our last day, sending us off with another handwritten thank you and a personalized tile to remind us of our time in Lisboa. I highly recommend taking advantage of the knowledgable staff and concierge services to assist with planning your experience. Our private tours to Sintra and Fatima, arranged through I Go Portugal were incredible and the owners, Sonya and Pedro, were a wealth of knowledge and a joy to spend the day with. Also recommend private transfer services - to/from the airport, which can be arranged through the Almaria's concierge. The Almaria was like a home away from home, with all the comforts you look for but with the added benefit of a staff that makes the whole experience "out of this world!" Obrigada!!!!

Almaria Oficina is a wonderful, spotlessly clean serviced apartment in the heart of Chiado in Lisbon. The apartment was well stocked with all the essentials including an assortment of complimentary food items and beverages. The concierges we're incredibly helpful with sightseeing tips, directions and transportation. They are on duty daily from 9 a - 6 p and available by phone at all other times. I highly recommend this property and would stay again if I am ever in Lisbon again.
