Make your stay in Porto a holiday to remember at this charming city-centre apartment. The bright and spacious home has everything you'll need to feel comfortable and relaxed – and with the stylish mid-century furniture and understated decor, you'll likely leave with some new interior design inspiration.

When you're not spending your downtime relaxing in front of the TV, curl up on a wicker chair in the sunroom with a good book and a pitcher of sangria by your side. Come mealtime, try your hand at Portuguese cooking and gather the group in the sleek dining area to deliver the verdict. Prefer to leave it to the professionals? There's no shortage of top-tier restaurants in the area, from seafood joints to laid-back tapas bars.

You're barely a ten-minute walk from the heart of Porto, with Livraria Lello and the famous São Bento station just a leisurely stroll away. Wind your way down to Cais da Ribeira's buzzy bar scene to sample the local drinks specialities, from vino verde to the port that gives this city its name.

Casa Estilo

On the doorstep of the Church of Saint Ildefonso, this charming apartment is a must for couples or solo travellers looking for a comfortable crash pad in the heart of Porto. Inside, there’s a stylish living area for relaxing after a day of exploring, as well as a private balcony for a glass of Portuguese wine in the evenings. While the kitchenette is only equipped with the very basics, you certainly won’t go hungry here thanks to the home's close proximity to countless eateries, cafes and bars.

When you’re ready to embark on your sightseeing ventures, begin with a stroll to the historic Porto Cathedral, before wandering along the banks of the Douro River at Cais da Ribeira. After a quick stop for lunch in the sunshine, we recommend heading to the striking Livraria Lello bookshop – said to have inspired parts of the Harry Potter movies, it's well worth a visit. 

A Piece of History

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

Found in one of the oldest residential buildings in Porto, this apartment might not look 200 years old thanks to modernisation, but it remains historic. Now updated to house families itching to explore this UNESCO World Heritage City, it's comfortable – though the two bedrooms with the sloped ceilings might be better for kids – and bright with a fantastic location. Walk to Porto Cathedral and other landmarks in minutes, buy fresh produce from the Bolhão market only a short stroll away, and hop on the trams to find points of interest further afield. 

A Little Piece of Porto

Situated within walking distance of Porto’s must-visit sights, this apartment is the perfect base for a family or group of friends. Should you want to sample the city’s gastronomic scene, there is no shortage of restaurants on the doorstep. Inside the home, it’s simple yet well-appointed and quiet – thanks to the soundproof windows. Each bedroom is comfortable, and though the third does lack some homely touches, it’s still a pleasant enough space to get some shut-eye at the end of a busy day.

Timeless Porto

Combining original elements with modern upside-down living, this apartment is an ideal base for those couples or families of three looking to experience the enchanting heart of the city. Boasting a long, double-height living area with a wonderfully bright and open layout, you'll find it easy to come back and relax after days of sightseeing in Porto. 

We love the enticing space with oak floors, wood beams, and exposed stone walls which make the design feel reassuringly rustic, and yet the contemporary decor adds plenty of modern comforts. The sociable open-plan layout invites chefs of the group to whip up feasts in the kitchen while chatting with others around the dining table or unwinding on the sofa. 

When you’re ready to venture out for some sightseeing, make a beeline for the Church of Saint Ildefonso or the Livraria Lello bookshop nearby, before sauntering a little further on to the Porto Cathedral and the bustling city centre. With countless bars, restaurants and shops along the riverfront, head to the Cais da Ribeira as evening draws in and you’ll get a true taste of the city here. 

Stepping Stones

A picture of effortless chic and understated elegance, this Parisian-style flat in Porto, with its teal colour palette and carefully curated furnishing, welcomes you to explore the city in style. Located just off the popular Rua de Santa Catarina, you'll find many of the must-see attractions within reach here, while the atmospheric streets below will have you feeling like a local. 

Start your mornings perched over the living room's Juliet balconies, as you watch the world go by. Pull up a pink-coloured velvet dining chair and enjoy a cooked breakfast in the window-side space as you map out your day's ventures. Natural light dances off the oak flooring, while the modern decor and a charming bedroom create a comfortable abode to call your own. 

When it's time to explore, head to Igreja do Carmo, Clérigos Tower and the Sé do Porto in just a few minutes on foot. From there, you'll stumble across all sorts of indie shops, family-run restaurants and hidden wine bars. Plus, you're a short walk from Cais da Ribeira, so you can enjoy a romantic riverfront stroll after dinner for two. 

Parisian in Porto

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

This home is located on the Rua Galeria de Paris, a street famous for its nightlife and lively spirit. It's a simple yet elegant apartment, with clean lines, crisp white walls and modern furniture. But the best feature, we're sure you'll agree, has to be the roof terrace. You could spend hours up here, from your morning coffee to a final sundowner, looking out over the historic buildings of Porto's old town. 

You're well-positioned to visit many of the top sights in the city, with Clérigos Tower and Aliados Avenue a five-minute walk away, and the Livraria Lello Bookstore just around the corner – rumour has it this literary wonderland inspired the Hogwarts library. Your host can even organise food tours on request, showing you the very best of the city's gastronomic scene. And, when night falls, you only need to step outside to find yourself right in the epicentre of Porto's fabulous nightlife. 

Right in the Heart

With stunning Douro River views, the equal of those from the nearby Miradouro da Vitória, this historic building offers up the perfect Porto apartment for your time in the city. 

Come for the top-floor views and stay for the stylish mid-century interior. Why not read a book in the Eames chair beneath the awe-inspiring domed skylight, admire the minimalist artwork casually propped up against the wall, or relax in the elegant living area seating?

Elsewhere, you'll find four bedrooms, two of which stand out for their en-suite bathrooms and direct balcony access. The outdoor space, in particular, makes for a welcome private area when you want some time to yourself. 

When you're not living it up in your scenic sitting room, head out into the streets and discover the historic sights within a stone's throw of your flat. Check out the impressive Palacio da Bolsa on the Unesco-listed Infante D. Henrique Square, five minutes on foot, marvel at Porto's magnificent cathedral, a ten-minute stroll, and use the Gustave Eiffel-designed Luís I Bridge to cross the River Douro, a twelve-minute meander from your front door.

Douro Dreaming

Delicate and soft, this baby blue apartment has plenty of surprises waiting for you. We're swooning over the features – the coffered ceilings wouldn't be amiss in a royal palace, while the iron on the arched window is intricate and charming. Add in the cushy orange sofa, parquet flooring and decadently tiled bathroom and it's love at first sight. The layout is also unique – technically, it's more of a studio, but a glass wall keeps the bedroom separate from the living space. The kitchen is a little basic, but we don't mind – if anything, it gives you an excuse to sample the many delicious eateries in Porto.  

But the best part, by far, is the excellent location. Palácio da Bolsa is two minutes away, and there are cafes, bars and boutiques aplenty on your doorstep. Pretty much everything is within walking distance – be it markets or museums – so we think a couple or solo traveller will be happy to call this place home. Wander down the famous alleys of Ribeira do Porto (a four-minute walk), grab a cocktail at one of the riverside restaurants or just stroll along the Douro and soak up the magic of Porto.

Blue Hues

Larger groups looking for a fabulous place to stay in Porto will love this smart apartment. Located in the Bolhão district, right in the centre, it's a fantastic place to begin your adventures in the city. 

Step inside, and you'll find a tranquil space with plenty of contemporary style. The open-plan kitchen and living space are ideal for socialising – you'll love whipping up a feast to share together at the long dining table. Afterwards, you can all settle down on the comfy sofas to sip a couple of glasses of locally-made port and make some plans for the following day. 

A fifteen-minute walk will bring you to the famous Livraria Lello, a haven for book lovers. Architecture fans can visit the city's famous churches, Igreja dos Clérigos and Igreja de Santo Ildefonso, also fifteen minutes away on foot. And, when you need to refuel, you're spoilt for choice with a range of nearby restaurants and port houses where you can eat and drink delicious local delicacies.
