Relax on your private, spacious balcony with a glass of Port when you stay at this stylish home in Porto. We love the garden views from here. Inside, lots of glazing allows light to flood in. The chic living space has warm wooden floors and mid-century style furniture. Rustle up a Porto staple, the substantial francesinha sandwich in the modern kitchen. Or there are plenty of restaurants and cafes on your doorstep if you don't fancy cooking. 

There are many attractions nearby too. Head to Livraria Lello, one of the world's most beautiful bookstores, under a fifteen-minute stroll away. Porto Cathedral and Bolhão Market are both a twenty-five-minute walk. Or, lovers of sculpture can visit the Soares dos Reis National Museum, eight minutes on foot.

This bright and welcoming apartment makes for an excellent base in Porto. It was only finished in 2022 so it’s new and fresh, with crisp white walls and stylish decor. It’s ideal for a couple looking for a modern home in Porto. 

You’ll love standing on the balcony each morning, soaking up the sun as you sip your coffee. Prepare a quick breakfast in the petite open-plan kitchen before heading out to see the sights. This home is centrally located, so you’ll be able to easily explore on foot and by using the metro. You’re within easy walking distance of Casa da Música, ideal if you’re planning on catching a show during your stay.

Style and practicality go hand-in-hand at this Lapa district apartment designed by the famed architect Siza Vieira. Each bedroom is as light-filled as the next, thanks to those floor-to-ceiling Juliet balcony windows, and there’s a twin bedroom tailor-made for little ones. It’s worth noting the Metro overground runs close to this home – handy for getting about the city, but the passing trains may take some getting used to. But for a home this central, that’s all par of the course.

Vieira's Place

Private Entrance

Patio / Terrace

Outdoor Seating

Surrounded by restaurants, cafes and some of Porto's most iconic sights, this apartment is one of eight conversions of former workers' houses. Now, it's a charming spot for couples and solo travellers itching to be in the heart of this vibrant city. Porto Cathedral, Lapa Church, and the Douro River are all reachable on foot or from the tram stop only minutes away. This place does lack character inside, and the bedroom is in a mezzanine, which may not suit taller guests. That said, though you share the patio with neighbours on either side of you, the little bistro table still makes for a nice breakfast spot every morning.

Porto Poetry

Paid Parking

With a fabulous address in downtown Porto, right in the heart of the city, you’ll find this apartment is near a load of attractions. Points of interest include the Mercado do Bolhão and the Tower and Church of Clérigos, as well as several parks.

Back at this home, sit in the sun on the private balcony with a glass of Port or a drink of your choice and take in the views over Porto. You can see the two spires of the Church of Our Lady of Lapa just above the rooftops from here. Or head inside and read a book on the custard yellow sofa in the light-filled living space. Later get ready in the marble-style bathroom for an evening out at one of the traditional restaurants in the neighbourhood.


Eucalyptus Leaf

You’ll find this contemporary home in the historic neighbourhood of Porto. The apartment is bright and breezy and can accommodate up to six guests. While it may not be the roomiest home – it’s certainly a great base for a family or group of friends to explore the city. We particularly love the roof terrace, complete with a seating area with views over the city. Authentic restaurants and bars are just a brief walk away, and you’re not far from Bolhao Market, Santa Catarina Street, Aliados Avenue, and the river either. 


Views Over Porto

Located in the historic heart of Porto, this apartment delivers the ideal setting for an inspiring city escape. From here, it’s just five minutes to Trindade metro station, while Bolhao Market and the river are within walking distance. Wherever the day takes you, this home provides a simple and refreshing space to unwind. It’s possible you may hear some street noise throughout your stay, but you will find all the essentials needed for an easygoing getaway. Complimentary toiletries are provided, plus your host can help organise airport transfers and sightseeing tours. 

The City of the Moon

Situated in the Lapa neighbourhood, this apartment provides a welcome break away from the clamour of downtown Porto. When you do fancy getting stuck into the hustle and bustle, spend mornings strolling along the charming Cais da Ribeira with a coffee to go before enjoying a traditional Portuguese breakfast in a laid-back cafe. Pore over the intricate azulejos of the Church of Saint Ildefonso then soak up the grandeur of the Livraria Lello. 

Back at home, a bright living space invites you to kick back and relax with a glass of Port or a flaky Jesuíta pastry. If you fancy flexing your culinary muscles, the compact kitchenette has everything you need for cooking up a storm. And when it’s time to get some rest, the no-nonsense bedroom guarantees a deep slumber night after night.

Countless Lives

Pack your bags and head to lovely Porto for a stay at this sleek apartment, right in the town centre. Perfect for little families, couples or business travellers, you'll have a great time immersing yourself in this vibrant city. 

The open-plan living space has a calming ambiance with crisp white walls, natural wood floors, and soothing blue tones – you'll settle in here in no time at all. The bedroom is equally calming and guarantees you a good night's sleep after a day of adventures. But the best part of all has to be the large terrace – slide open the doors and head outside to sip your morning coffee in the sunshine, or enjoy a nightcap in the balmy evening breeze. 

From here, you can easily access the city's best-loved sights. Wander through the cobbled streets and visit port cellars, artisanal boutiques, and local restaurants to get a true taste of Porto life. You can walk down to the river, with its impressive bridges in under twenty minutes, stopping off at some of the city's beautiful churches on the way. And, with Livraria Lello just a twelve-minute walk away, you can be first in line to visit the iconic bookshop. 

Sunshine on the Terrace

Black-Out Blinds

Garden

To find a home this pretty and right in the beating heart of Porto, well, that’s special. But to bag a place with an all-too-rare outdoor terrace too? Then you’re onto a winner.

Inside, while this apartment is studio living, we think it’s expertly formed and feels surprisingly spacious. The designers knew what they were doing here, with earthy textures, warm wooden hues, and pops of botanical greens fusing beautifully.

Over in the made-for-action kitchen, there’s everything you could need to rustle up a bite to eat. And don’t get us started on the bedroom area with charming views over the terrace to the lofty palm trees and blue skies beyond.

Sunny mornings call for breakfast and freshly brewed coffees on the veranda as you hatch plans for the day ahead. And you won’t have far to go when it’s time to get out and about. 

Lose yourself in the city’s alley-woven historic heart brimming with boutiques, including the neo-Gothic, Livraria Lello (twelve minutes on foot) – the bookshop was a source of inspiration for the Harry Potter books, we hear. Grab a sunny spot for a bite to eat at one of the many Petiscarias (that’s Portuguese-style tapas bars to us). Then enjoy a post-lunch hazy walk along the banks of the Douro River (nineteen minutes on foot). Or hop on the Trindade metro station (a four-minute walk away) to discover further-flung corners of this opulent city.

This minimalist home is in the heart of Porto, just a fifteen-minute walk from the narrow, bar-filled streets of Ribeira and the grand Avenida dos Aliados. Not many duplexes boast their own private garden in the city centre. This one has a secluded sunny lawn and patio, surrounded by stone walls for the utmost privacy. It’s the perfect spot for a drop of the city’s famed port wine at sunset. Inside, the open-plan kitchen, dining and living room has tall traditional windows letting in tons of natural light. Soft greys and pinks set a cool, calm atmosphere. There’s a separate sitting room with a dedicated remote workspace, should you need to catch up on emails. Bedrooms are housed in thick white stone walls typical of Portuguese design, keeping things cool in summer and cosy in the colder months.

Port in the Garden

Desk

Located on the iconic Rua do Almada, this apartment in downtown Porto has a great address. It’s within walking distance of many attractions, such as Mercado do Bolhão and the Chapel of Souls, with its azulejo tiled façade. Being in the heart of this UNESCO World Heritage City, expect to hear some street noise during your stay, though. If you’re here on business, there’s a desk in the bedroom (there’s only one bedroom here – guests three and four will be sleeping on a sofa bed in the open-plan living space).

Heart of Porto Retreat

Espresso Machine

Smoke Detector

With lovely views of Praça da República, in the heart of Porto – there’s so much to do on this home’s doorstep. It’s just over a five-minute walk to Praça Carlos Alberto, while the stylish Rua de Santa Catarina, with its chic boutiques, is around a ten-minute saunter. Here you’ll also find the stunning Capela das Almas, clad in blue and white azulejo tiles depicting scenes from the lives of various saints. Other attractions nearby include Porto Cathedral, a twenty-minute stroll, and Mercado do Bolhão, a market in a neoclassical building, twelve minutes on foot. 

Take some local produce back to your apartment and cook some bacalhau à Gomes de Sá (cod casserole) in the modern kitchen for dinner, if you don’t fancy eating out (your host can provide breakfast too). Or simply sit with a glass of Port and watch the world go by around the square. This apartment is ideal for professionals on business or those looking for a well-located Porto bolthole.


Port Glasses Clinking

Balcony / Patio

This charming home-from-home is a superb base in the heart of Porto. It’s bright, attractive, and welcoming, and it’s equipped with everything you might need for a city break. The apartment is just a seven-minute walk to the Casa da Música metro station, so seeing the sights is as easy as can be. You can walk to Crystal Palace Gardens, a green oasis overlooking the Douro River. Two guests will be sleeping on a sofa bed in the living room,  which won’t be the most private setup.

You're sure to be instantly enchanted by the blue-tiled facade of this historic building – we know we were – and that traditional charm continues inside. Follow the winding staircase up to the third floor and you'll find a cosy, light-filled apartment waiting for you. Apple red French doors open onto the sweet balcony, which grants you sweeping views across Porto's rooftops and more of that pretty Portuguese tile. It's the perfect spot to indulge in an alfresco breakfast or savour a glass of vinho verde as the sun goes down – if you're anything like us, you'll spend every spare second out here, drinking in the scenery. Although the kitchenette is compact and the bathroom is on the smaller side, we didn't mind – there's still a good amount of space to get comfortable, and the minimal, boho-chic design is a palate cleanser after a busy day exploring.

Speaking of, this neighbourhood is a trendy area full of independent bars, cafes, and restaurants. You'll find plenty of charming squares nearby to have a drink in, and several of Porto's main attractions are within walking distance – namely Clérigos Tower (twelve minutes on foot), Livraria Lello bookstore (a ten-minute stroll) and the Cais da Ribeira (twenty-five minutes away). If sightseeing, shopping and dining are on your to-do list, we think this is the ideal locale for you.

Basket of Apples

If you love green spaces, you'll be happy to know that this apartment is close to a number of parks, including Jardim de Teófilo Braga and Jardim de Fradelos, to name just a couple. Also, not far away, you'll find attractions such as the lovely landmark, the Boavista Roundabout, as well as the Baroque Clerigos Church and Tower.

After exploring Porto, relax on the blue velvet sofa in the living room with its homely vibe, wood floors, potted plants and botanical prints. We love the ornate tiles in the white kitchen  – whip up some polvo com molho verde here and enjoy it at your dining table. Then get some rest in the bedroom with its leafy wallpaper before starting another day in this fascinating city.



Blue Urban Fox

Beautiful, bright and stylish, this apartment is an excellent Porto base for a couple. It’s a petite home that’s packed full of charm, where you’ll feel at home straight away. With a clean, muted colour palette, it’s a relaxing space, ideal for a city break where the days can become hectic. 

You’re right at the heart of Porto here, just an eight-minute walk from Mercado do Bolhão – and some of the best lunches in the city. For a spot of culture, stroll twelve minutes to Livraria Lello, which is recognised to be one of the most beautiful bookshops in the world. When your feet need a break, hop on the metro – the Trindade station is just a three-minute walk away. 


A Port for Romance

Situated in the centre of Porto, this apartment is in a great spot to explore this UNESCO World Heritage city. Though the antique decor may not be to everybody’s taste, the home has everything you need for a great holiday, including a fully-equipped kitchen and little patio – perfect for doing yoga or cosying up with a book in the evening. There are many sights worth visiting within walking distance, such as the Mercado do Bolhão and Clerigos Church. Make sure to sample some Portuguese treats such as pastel de nata and Francesinha while you’re here. 

The Artist's Portrait

Courtyard

Just north of Porto’s historic old town, where ornate architecture overwhelms your senses in the most delightful way, this apartment offers a more relaxed and modern way of life. Although it’s just a nine-minute walk from the gilded ceilings of the Livraria Lello and the chiming bells of Clérigos church, this home lets you savour rare moments of tranquility and zen in this vibrant city.

The understated interiors of this duplex apartment feel more Scandi than Portuguese, with an angular sofa, soft marl grey rug, and the gentle tones of pastel art on the walls. With white walls and pale wooden floors to elongate the space, your lounge is a perfectly airy spot for reclining with a bottle of Duoro following an afternoon of sightseeing. But if the sun's still shining, why not take your glass to the alfresco dining table on your private balconette? Or better still, down to the resident’s garden where a lush lawn awaits.

Now, we did say that this home would help you relax – but your host goes the extra mile to make you feel pampered. With the generous offer of grocery deliveries, activity planning, and even a knock on your door every morning with a fresh breakfast in tow, they really know how to treat their guests.

Touriga Franca

A stellar stay in the centre of Porto awaits you when you choose this fabulous penthouse apartment, based in the Boavista area of the city, known for its vibrant rooftop bars, swanky restaurants and dynamic atmosphere. Here, you'll be within easy reach of all the best sights of the city.

Inside the home feels modern and contemporary, with Scandi-style furniture and decor that runs throughout each room, plus large windows that envelop the entire place in warm light. You can gather around the funky dining set for feasts in the evenings, or lounge in the living area when you need to rest. There's also a fantastic terrace complete with a dining area where you can sip on sunset cocktails, and a lounge space where you can recline in the sunshine.

Sheer Simplicity

Simple, fresh and centrally located, this apartment makes it easy to enjoy the magic of city living. Outside, you can stroll along the tree-lined streets to restaurants, cafes and shops. It’s also just ten minutes from Casa da Musica metro station – making it easy to explore the rest of Porto. If you’re travelling by car, your host can help arrange parking nearby for an additional fee, along with a range of extra services – including breakfast and grocery deliveries. There is a sofa bed in the living room for two guests, plus one of the bedrooms includes a little balcony. It’s also a great option for remote workers with plenty of desk space. 

Sunlight City

Swimming Pool

Wellness & Fitness

It’s not often you can stay within walking distance of the city’s main sights, yet enjoy a cooling dip in a swimming pool upon returning to your abode. This charming studio apartment is in a building with a shared swimming pool and sunny terrace garden. Yet it’s just a fifteen-minute walk to the buzzing bars and cafés of Rua da Constituição on the edge of Porto’s downtown. Marques metro station is a five-minute stroll away, so you can access all corners of Porto within minutes.

This apartment may be a studio, but the bedroom feels tucked away from the kitchen and living room in its own space. The decor is a charming mix of Southeast Asian influenced dressers, pot plants and wicker accents. The real bonus (apart from the swimming pool)? The living room opens up onto a private balcony with a bistro set for two and a view out over the rooftops.

Blend the comforts of home with the stellar service of a hotel in this wonderful apartment. Located near the heart of the city, behind a tiled facade, it's a great place to call home during your adventures in Porto. 

A luxurious complimentary breakfast and daily housekeeping ensure there's little left for you to do other than kick back, relax, and fall in love with this vibrant city. You can enjoy access to the shared terrace to soak up the sun, and if the weather turns, there's always your gadget-filled living room for hours of entertainment – it comes complete with an Xbox, Netflix, and Amazon Echo. The decor is simple yet sleek, and the added bonus of air conditioning, heating, and blackout blinds ensures a restful night's sleep.

Spend your days strolling the streets admiring the gorgeous architecture and sampling the famous pastel de natas in local cafés. Come the evening, you can sample some local wine over dinner and take a stroll down to the riverside – it's just twenty minutes away. Plus, the Trindade metro station is just steps away, so travelling around the city is a breeze.



Half Moon

If you're in search of a romantic getaway to Porto, then this apartment is a great pick. The home lies near the popular shopping street of Cedofeita, so you'll have plenty of amenities and attractions nearby. And with Trindade Metro station less than ten minutes away on foot, zipping around the city is simple. Inside, you'll find a modern space to relax and a compact kitchen that's well-equipped for preparing light bites. But the real charmer here is the private balcony, which calls for a glass of Vinho Verde. 

Serenity at Cedofeita

Private Washing Machine

Rooftop Terrace

Housed in a historical building, this beautifully appointed apartment places you right in the heart of Porto's rich culture, and trust us, there's plenty to see and do in this UNESCO World Heritage city. Aside from the sought-after location, the real standout is your private terrace overlooking the rooftops downtown. Mornings begin with a fresh cup of coffee out here, admiring this charming area and its celebrated landmarks.

Bright and practical, the home itself offers a seamless living space with a handy kitchenette to prepare simple breakfasts – what it lacks in cooking amenities, it more than makes up for with its central position, surrounded by restaurants, cafes and bars. Open the patio doors, instantly expanding your communal area, and listen to the sounds of Porto below. With a cosy, cocooned bedroom and a sleek marble bathroom, you’ve got everything you need for a comfortable stay. 

When you're to explore, take a short stroll to many of the city's must-see sights, including the striking Livraria Lello bookshop, Igreja do Carmo and the Clérigos Tower. You’re also within easy reach of Porto Cathedral and the riverfront promenade for romantic dinners along the Douro. 

Porto Skies

Located in Porto’s cultural heart, Boavista, this stylish apartment is an idyllic base for solo travellers or couples seeking artistic exploration. 

This apartment is calm and bright, thanks to its expanse of glass doors opening up to a sky-grazing balcony, as well as its cool colour palette and minimalist furnishings. Spend mornings on the balcony with a Nespresso coffee and pastel de nata or gather around the glass-topped table for a light breakfast as the morning sun strikes - your host is happy to arrange breakfast if you so wish. If you can peel yourself away from your breezy oasis, the vibrant neighbourhood has you covered for a sight-filled day.

Whether you’re interested in a concert this trip or not, Rem Koolhaas’s Casa da Música is worth a visit - especially since it’s only six minutes from your apartment. We think lunch is well spent at Cufra - their francesinha sandwich, made with sausage, steak, cheese and spicy sauce, is a solid contender for Porto’s best. Spend the afternoon exploring one of the world’s top art institutions, Fundação Serralves or marvel at the lavish fountains and sea views from Jardim do Passeio Alegre.

Set in the lush grounds of Canto De Luz, one of Porto's most loved Boutique Hotels, this luxury eco-villa is a modern architectural marvel. A stay here is the best of both worlds – 5-star hotel luxury (breakfast is served in the hotel’s orangery or your garden every morning, and there’s a daily housekeeping service) combined with the privacy of your own villa. The villa’s interior is contemporary cool with wooden floors, Scandi-style furniture and floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the rooms with light. Lovely as it is, you’ll spend most of your time outdoors in the beautifully landscaped garden, complete with private saltwater pool and an in-water lounge area that’s perfect for little guests. In the heart of the old town in a quiet cobbled street, the location couldn’t be better either. Spend your days exploring Porto’s historic centre, riverfront, and quirky antique shops and cafes. In the evenings, you’re spoilt for choice, with a wealth of restaurants on your doorstep. Enjoy a delicious meal in the balmy night air, before strolling back for a nightcap or port (what else?) on the terrace. 

Villa Almada

Situated close to Porto’s historical centre, this cosy apartment offers an ideal base from which to explore the city. Sure, it’s not the biggest, but it’s comfortable for two and is perfect for a couples retreat. For a quiet night in, the kitchenette has all the basics needed to whip up a meal, which, we think, is best enjoyed on the communal terrace under the Portuguese sun. If you don’t feel like cooking, this home’s enviable location has you near a whole host of restaurants, so sampling some local cuisine washed down with a glass of port is always on the menu.

Porto Magic

You’ll find this bright two-bedroom apartment in the historic city of Porto. The interiors are contemporary and clean, and while the second bedroom may feel a little small – you’ll likely be spending most of your time exploring the city. Located nearby the city's famous landlords – including the Bolhao Market, Santa Catarina Street, Aliados Avenue, and the river – you can easily discover Porto on foot. For those looking to explore further afield –  take the metro at the nearby Trindade station – a five-minute walk from the apartment – and travel across the city at your leisure.


Trindade Time Out

Nestled in the heart of Porto, you’ll find many of the city’s tourist hotspots within easy walking distance of this apartment. And even for ventures further afield, Trindade Metro stop is just over five minutes away on foot, so hopping around the city is a breeze. You’ll catch the lift up to this second-floor apartment, and upon arrival, you’ll find a modern space to relax, with patio doors that open out onto a charming terrace. Plus, the kitchenette is well-suited for preparing light bites, so you can enjoy alfresco breakfasts here, before setting off for a day of work or sightseeing. 

Porto's Promise

Fireplace

This thoughtfully restored merchant's townhouse in Porto's Old Town would be perfect for a large family group. There's no need to worry about cooking up breakfast for everyone – the rate includes a sumptuous breakfast made using produce from local markets served in the sunny orangery. There's also the option to hire a private chef, should you wish to take the pressure off entirely. Two of the eight suites come with a balcony overlooking the leafy garden below for a quiet moment of reflection with your morning coffee. The living area is all sleek modernism and is packed with entertainment options – the Xbox should go down well with any teenagers in the group. Head out to the little courtyard to catch a ray of sunshine in the morning and there's a full, paved garden brimming with pot plants stretching behind the home. You're well-placed for exploration here – Trindade metro station is just around the corner, along with chic boutiques, vintage and antique shops and Porto town hall is a two-minute walk.

The Merchant of Porto

Located just North of Porto’s cultural heart, Boavista, this stylish apartment is an idyllic base for solo travellers visiting for work or couples seeking artistic exploration. 

This apartment is sleek and bright, thanks to its expanse of glass doors opening up to a sun-soaked balcony. Spend mornings on the terrace with freshly brewed coffee and pastel de nata or gather around the table for a leisurely breakfast in the calm space – your host is happy to arrange breakfast if you wish. When you’re ready to peel yourself away from this breezy oasis, the vibrant neighbourhood has you covered for a sight-filled day.

Whether you’re interested in a concert this trip or not, Rem Koolhaas’s Casa da Música is worth a visit, or why not explore the historic ​​Sé do Porto? We think lunch is well spent along the waterfront with a francesinha sandwich in hand. Spend the rest of the day exploring one of the world’s top art institutions, Fundação Serralves or marvel at the lavish fountains from Jardim do Passeio Alegre.

Trinidade Pad

On first impression, this stylish apartment perched right in the beating heart of Porto is as quintessentially Portuguese as it gets with its azul-blue tiled facades and ornate wrought-iron balconies.

But this inner-city gem hides a few surprises, too –⁠⁠ starting with that outdoor space, a rare thing in central Porto. Wrapping around the apartment, the decked terrace is the perfect spot to savour coffees - or a glass of something chilled, depending on the hour. And if you want to beat the heat, the shared pool waiting in the garden should do the trick. You didn't expect that from an inner-city apartment, now did you?

Inside, this apartment is pared-back and contemporary. And though this is studio living, there's a separate bedroom with characterful exposed stonework and balcony doors to let the fresh air flow through from the terrace.

When it's time to spread your wings, you're well-positioned to visit many of the sights from here. Delve into the city's maze of medieval streets and discover authentic bistros and independent boutiques amidst its brightly coloured houses. When it's time to hit the hotspots, the Clérigos Tower and Aliados Avenue are both less than fifteen minutes away on foot. And of course, there's the Douro River (twenty-five minutes on foot) – how could we forget.

Cool Azul

Sitting in Porto’s trendy Cedofeita, this apartment opens its doors to a bright and colourful stay in the city. And much like its setting, there’s an artistic quality to this space that feels inspiring. 

With its eclectic styling and contrasting textures, there’s a wonderful sense of vitality and freshness here. It’s the kind of space that brings a burst of joy and sunshine to daily living. And whether you’re travelling with a plan or looking for a spontaneous adventure, there’s everything you could need to feel at home here. 

From quiet mornings watching the light spilling into the living room to cosy candlelit dinners, there’s a transformative quality to this apartment. And when you’re feeling refreshed and inspired, you’ll find the pedestrian streets of Cedofeita are filled with cafes, restaurants, shops and galleries. There’s also easy access to the city’s iconic sights – the Jardins do Palácio de Cristal is only a five–minute walk away while the Douro River is just twenty–minutes away. 

The Albertina 

Situated on the iconic Rua do Almada, this home places you in the heart of the action. As you’d expect with a studio apartment, space is limited here, but it’s comfortable for a couple. That said, the space is well utilised and the home’s nicely extended with a private garden – just the spot for a glass of port after a busy day of sightseeing. Locally, you’ll find some of Porto’s hotspots on your doorstep, or you can jump on Trindade metro to hop across the city. 

The Porto Song

This studio apartment in Porto is certainly petite, but it’s a bright space that’s perfect for a couple or solo traveller looking for a practical base from which to explore the city. Its private garden is a definite highlight and thoughtful touches like an Emma mattress, a rainfall shower and traditional tiling in the kitchen add to the charm and comfort. Its position just north of the historic centre means this home is best suited for those who don’t mind walking a bit to see the sights, but there are plenty of public transport links nearby to make exploring all the easier. 


Porto Polka Dot

If you’re looking for a downtown Porto address with many attractions nearby, this modern and bright apartment is ideal. Places of interest include the Baroque Tower and Church of Clérigos, Mercado do Bolhão, and a number of verdant parks to explore. When you want to discover the rest of what Porto has to offer, the Lapa metro station is around a ten-minute walk away.

As we said, this home is filled with light, thanks to the wall of windows, so it’s a lovely place to be when you’re not out and about. Cook up a caldo verde soup in the kitchenette with its ornate floor tiles and marble-style splashbacks. Or head through the Crittall-style doors to the pretty bedroom with its blue floral wallpaper and get some rest.

Blue Scilla

We love Porto. It’s the perfect choice for a city break, with its excellent shops, bars and restaurants, in addition to galleries and museums. You can happily while away the hours strolling through the streets admiring the historic architecture, or meandering along the banks of the River Douro. This bright and sunny apartment is right in the heart of the action – it’s a great base for a couple wanting to see the city. 

The apartment is elegant yet comfortable, with everything you might need during your stay. We love the stylish glass sliding doors to the bedroom, and the deep blue walls that make the room so tranquil. After waking up from a soothing night’s sleep, head for the balcony to sip your coffee in the warmth of the sun. You’ll love having this space to call your own.
