With an address on an iconic street, this home is within walking distance of many of Porto’s top attractions. We’re talking about Mercado do Bolhão (five-minutes on foot) and the majestic Clérigos Tower, an eight minute walk away. If you love books, then we’d recommend a browse around Livraria Lello, said to be one of the most beautiful bookstores in the world – it’s well worth the eleven-minute stroll.

Back at this home, take in the views over the city from your private balcony with a glass of rich Port or a cup of coffee. Alternatively, relax on the green mid-century style sofa, next to the potted palm in the light-filled open plan living space. We love that the bedroom opens out onto the balcony too – perfect for breakfast in the morning.

Situated in Santo Ildefonso – this stylish downtown apartment is a great find. Admire the Igreja de Santo Ildefonso – and 18th-century, twin-towered church clad in beautiful blue-and-white azulejos, a nine-minute stroll away, while Avenida dos Aliados, a hub for banking and transport, is six minutes on foot. Have an amble around the district marvelling at the UNESCO-listed eighteenth-century buildings, or head to Porto Cathedral, a twelve-minute saunter. For fresh produce, Mercado do Bolhão is a mere two-minute wander – pick up some local delicacies to take back to this home. Much like Porto itself, this abode blends the historic with modern design for a stay that pops. It's not the street art or hand-painted tiles you might expect of a Portuguese apartment. Instead, this home adheres to the Scandi-chic minimalist vibe, offering a sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of the city's streets. White walls in the open-plan living room bounce with sunlight, and the chaise sofa is ideal for movie nights, while each of the bedrooms continues the clean theme, with a splash of teal on the headboards. Among the minimalist stylings, groups will have plenty of homely space to hang out in – we love the monochrome kitchen and its big dining table for family dinners and a few glasses of Port.

Stop The Clocks

Tucked right in the heart of Bolhão, we think that this sleek apartment is ideal for almost any kind of traveller, be it a group of friends looking to uncover the hidden gems of Portugal's second city, a family city break, or simply a romantic stay for a couple.

Minimal, contemporary, and characterised by classic mouldings and coastal accents, this inviting apartment to make memories. Start the day with a pastel de nata in the warm sunroom before setting off on your explorations. Within a short walk, you'll find yourself at some of Porto's most renowned highlights. The Bolhão market is a must-visit – a bustling local hub full of wonderfully fresh produce and regional specialities – the perfect place to pick up your ingredients for a special dinner in your elegant dining room. Though of course, if you’re not in the mood to cook, you'll also be spoilt for choice when it comes to the selection of restaurants serving up authentic dishes. Sample some local stews, then head to Rem Koolhaas’ Casa da Música for a memorable night of entertainment.

Private Entrance

Balcony / Patio

This modern apartment is in the middle of Porto, an easy walk from the Douro River where you’ll find the famous wine warehouses and day cruises. The streets around this place are packed with restaurants and bars, yet the living room faces an internal courtyard for a bit of peace. While there’s nothing particularly unique about the design, the open living area is a comfy spot to unwind with a full kitchen for meals at home. The main bedroom leads out to a private balcony which is great for a breath of fresh air, despite the lack of view. 

The Warmth of Your Smile

Desk / Workplace

Prepare to be dazzled by this top-floor apartment perched right in the heart of Porto's old quarter. This place offers up astonishing views of the historic Baixa district - and an impressive outdoor terrace to soak it all up.

Lose yourself to the views of the quarter's ancient squires, rising up from a higgledy-piggledy maze of terracotta rooftops. And if you're impressed with it now, just think how amazing it looks at night as Porto's lights flicker on.

If you can bear to part your gaze from the terrace, you'll discover this home delivers the goods on the inside too. Spread out over two floors and glowing from top-to-toe in crisp white, midcentury-inspired furniture and statement lighting is all that's needed to add warmth and style here. 

Climb the stairs to discover three pristine and light-filled bedrooms – and thanks to its top-floor setting and room-darkening shutters, you'll be sure to bank a peaceful night's sleep here.

Away from this luxurious apartment, you'll find all of Porto's hotspots close by, including Bolhão Market, Santa Catarina Street, and Aliados Avenue with a mere seven-minute stroll. Or jump on the metro just three minutes from your door to discover other corners of the city. Now, how's that for a location?

Bright and beautiful, this home’s warming wood details make it a unique place to base yourself in Porto. Honey-hued, the exposed beams add character and charm to the elegant modern space and recall this building’s 19th century past. The mezzanine split is well-executed, ensuring both floors benefit from the natural light, while the furniture creates plenty of opportunities to sit down, relax or work. We love the cosy reading chair for lazy afternoons and the large wooden dining table for meals shared at home. When it’s time to explore, you’ll be absolutely central, steps from the iconic Aliados Avenue. Walk two minutes to Trindade Church and three minutes from Mercado do Bolhão, an old traditional market. Plus, for connecting to other parts of the city, the Aliados metro station is just three minutes away.

Poet's Hideout is an elegant split-level home in the tourist centre of Porto – but one of the things we love most about it is that it's still peaceful and quiet. The host has invested a lot of effort and brainpower to make the original architectural features work with modern furniture, and the end result is stunning. This home is closer to an aparthotel than a characterful private residence, but that does come with its perks, like daily cleaning and breakfast, which are included in your stay.

Patio / Terrace

Centrally located to give you access to all of Porto’s historic sights, this bright apartment is an ideal base for those looking to make the most out of the city in comfort. 
 
Laid out around a beautiful central terrace, floor-to-ceiling windows allow ample natural light to shine through, giving you endless sunshine, inside and out. Curated in a contemporary style, the decor is understated yet thoughtfully brought together to make the most out of this sparkling space. We love the main bedroom’s French doors that lead out onto the sunny terrace – the ideal spot for alfresco breakfasts and celebratory sundowners – as well as the second bedroom’s large windows that give way to a stone-walled courtyard dotted with leafy plants. 
 
Factor in the Porto-inspired art on the walls as well as the sleek en-suites, and you’ve got everything you need for a relaxing stay. 
 
Outside of your home, you’ve got plenty to see and do within easy walking distance, including Porto Cathedral (thirteen minutes), Livraria Lello (fifteen minutes), Rua Santa Catarina (seven minutes) and the waterfront Cais da Ribeira (eighteen minutes). 


Playful Light

Situated in the heart of Downtown Porto, this apartment places you within easy walking distance of the city's top highlights. Visit the Church of Saint Ildefonso, sample local produce at the Mercado do Bolhão, or head to the Douro River for a boat trip. Inside, it's a smart, functional space for your group to spread out, and there's a sofa bed for a fifth guest. The kitchen is compact yet fully equipped for home-cooked dinners, while the enclosed balcony is a nice place to toast the day's end. Just note that you'll need to climb stairs to reach the entrance of this home. 

Porto Spice

Cheery yellow accents, a well-considered layout and an ideal location combine to create this inviting apartment in the heart of Porto’s Sé neighbourhood. After a restful sleep in the unfussy bedroom, sit down to a typical Portuguese breakfast in the open-plan living space. When the plates are cleared, curl up on the sofa with an espresso or head out and explore your surroundings. 

The Church of Saint Ildefonso, famous for its blue and white tiled facade, is just a five-minute walk from your building. Head west for the Lello bookshop – the most beautiful of its kind – then mosey down to the riverside for a glass of something chilled in a laid-back cafe. When it’s time for something to eat, settle on a traditional restaurant in the Ribeira district.

Guests rave about the location of this Porto apartment, and it’s easy to see why. Set in a quiet corner of Ribeira, the Douro River, Praça da Ribeira Square, and neoclassical Bolsa Palace are all just a short stroll away. It’s worth noting if six guests share, two of you will have to make do with a double sofa bed in the living space. Not ideal for some, but it could work great for family sharing. The small inner courtyard is a nice touch for sundowners, and there’s plenty of space to spill out around the dining table for lazy breakfasts of pastel de natas picked up from the nearby bakeries.

Secret Sanctum

Shared Washing Machine

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

Parking On Street

Located in Praça dos Poveiros, this bright apartment puts you in a prime position to explore Porto’s most historic and cultural sights, all while enjoying a wonderfully comfortable stay. 
 
Stepping into the beautifully sunny open-plan living area, you’ll immediately be struck by the elegant corniced ceilings, hardwood floors and dazzling amount of natural light pouring in through the paned, arched French doors. Open these up to let the breeze drift through the space while you enjoy breakfast at the dining table, or perch by their Juliet balconies with a glass of Portuguese wine. 
 
The two bedrooms boast equally beautiful French doors that give way to views over the nearby Jardim Marques de Oliveira (a one-minute walk away), as well as inviting beds that wait to drift you into a peaceful night’s slumber. 
 
And when it comes to sightseeing, you’ve got plenty from which to choose within easy walking distance – the Igreja de Santo Ildefonso is a three-minute walk, Porto Cathedral is a ten-minute stroll and bustling, waterfront Cais da Ribeira is fifteen minutes away on foot. 


The Glass Park

For foodies visiting Porto, the location doesn’t get much better than this. It’s a two-minute walk from the restaurant and shop-lined Rua Santa Catarina and the streets around the apartment are filled with spots serving local Portuguese cuisine. It’s also just a four-minute walk to Mercado do Bolhão with its fresh produce stalls galore. Stock up and head back to your haven in the city centre.

A fully-equipped kitchen can turn that fresh veg into a hearty family feast in no time and dining is a delight in the sunny spot. The living room is sleek and minimalist with two slate-grey sectionals providing plenty of room for everyone. From here, you can admire the rooftop view out the window. A nice touch is the vintage TV cabinet, which hides a record player to set the right ambience. Wooden floors and cornicing like icing on a cake in the bedrooms feel distinctly classic Porto. 

Two Tribes

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.

Off the Market

Smart TV

Make yourself at home with an espresso on the comfy sofa before tucking into a tasty pastry on your private balcony.

When you’re ready to head out, begin with a trip to São Bento Station, famous for its blue-and-white tiles depicting scenes of Portuguese history – it’s only 300 metres away. Pick up a new coffee table book in the emblematic Livraria Lello then enjoy views of the Dom Luís Bridge from a cafe on the bustling Cais da Ribeira. If all that exploring has worked up an appetite, treat yourself to a francesinha (Portugal’s answer to the croque-monsieur) in a nearby eatery.

Welcome Hamper

Sitting on the top floor of a building in downtown Porto, this apartment is ideal for anybody looking for somewhere special to stay in the city. The show-stopping feature has to be the home's terrace, which has plenty of seating and peaceful rooftop views.

However, step into the apartment through the large glass door and you'll find a stylish interior as well. White walls and wooden floors are a classy combination, while the mid-century furnishings and floating staircase are sure to draw a few compliments. Add to this a large mezzanine bedroom with another balcony and you're sure to fall head over heels for this address.

When you're ready to head and explore, you'll find plenty of cafes and restaurants in the surrounding neighbourhood, as well as the blue-tiled Chapel of the Souls four minutes' walk away. The centre of the city isn't too far away, either — you can be outside Porto Cathedral in just over a quarter of an hour on foot.



Downtown Girl

From its glossy wood floors to its cool exposed stone walls, there’s a feeling of traditional charm here combined with modern comforts and contemporary decor. Make yourself comfortable on the sofa with a glass of Portuguese wine, or better yet, open up the French doors to perch by the Juliet balconies while indulging in some people-watching along your scenic street.

Sun Stones

Perfect for a romantic getaway or as a base for a solo traveller, this bright abode offers all the comforts necessary to make your vacation a relaxing one. 

Arrive to be greeted by a bright living room, filled with natural light flooding in through the huge windows. There’s a plush sofa here inviting you to kick off your shoes and unwind with a glass of something suitably delicious and enjoy a movie night with your travel companion. You’ll be able to rustle up quick and scrumptious suppers in the well-equipped kitchen and share them at the dining table which can also serve as a comfy and laptop-friendly workspace.

The Port of Sun

Bright and welcoming, this studio apartment is an ideal base for two in Porto. You’ll be in the heart of the city, just a five-minute walk from Coliseu do Porto and within easy reach of Clerigos Tower. For further-afield sights, you need only walk 400 metres to Bolhão Station to hop on the metro. The apartment is petite but charming, with a beautiful carved ceiling that draws the eye. The kitchen facilities are limited, but you’ll have your pick of Porto’s best restaurants and bars on your doorstep. 

Iris & Brick

Set within a quiet corner of picturesque Ribeira, with Porto's must-see sights within walking distance, this apartment's location is hard to beat. Take your pick from Praça da Ribeira Square, the neoclassical Bolsa Palace or Douro River – it's all just a short stroll away. Back home, the courtyard garden is a nice touch for morning coffees, even though there's not much of a view. However, the Juliet balcony windows overlooking Porto's rooftops from the living room and main bedroom make up for that.

Ribeira Rooftops

Calling all foodies – this charming flat in Bolhão is just steps away from some of Porto's most delicious restaurants and cafes. Situated in Praça dos Poveiros, this is the local's go-to gathering place for good food, free-flowing drinks and laughter-packed conversations. There's no shortage of spots here to wine and dine the night away, but that's not the only reason we love this location. You're close to almost everything – stroll three minutes and visit the blue-tiled Igreja de Santo Ildefonso, wander ten to reach Avenida dos Aliados or head down to the riverfront and walk along the Ribeira, thirteen minutes away.

The apartment itself is as cosy as can be. We're swooning over the period features – traditional shuttered windows, high ceilings and crown moulding are just a few of our favourite details. A quaint Juliet balcony overlooks the hustle and bustle below – the perfect spot for a morning coffee – while the comfy sofa beckons after a long day on your feet. If you need to work from home, you can even set up shop at the dining table as the sunlight streams into the living area. While we wouldn't suggest rustling up a feast in the kitchen, it's perfectly suited to lighter bites – and besides, with so many mouth-watering eateries on your doorstep, we doubt you'll get up to much cooking.

Honey Hued Moments

It’s ideal for reaching all the city’s sights, including the Torre dos Clérigos, Mercado do Bolhão and Avenida dos Aliados. Inside, you'll find a bright and stylish space, where you can enjoy morning coffees on the balcony and homemade suppers together around the dining table. Though do keep in mind that one person will be sleeping on a sofa bed at full capacity and you'll need to climb an external staircase to reach the entrance of the home.

From up here you can also access the terrace, which is a really great addition to this apartment. Ideal for welcoming a new day with a cup of freshly brewed coffee or for admiring city sunsets with a glass of wine, we’ve no doubt you’ll enjoy this outdoor space. 

When you’re ready to venture out and discover the many treasures of this beautiful city, you’ll be happy to know that most places can be easily reached on foot. Why not start with the colourful Bolhão Market located just around the corner before exploring the Old Town or taking the fifteen-minute walk down to the harbour. 

Under the Porto Sun 

Set in the heart of Porto, this apartment provides easy access to the historical marvels dotting the city – and when you want to travel further afield, the closest metro is a mere ten-minute walk. So, while this fuss-free home may not be filled with luxurious finishes, it’s all about the location for us. It’s a comfortable space for four people, just bear in mind that the second bedroom is an interior room, so lacks natural light. That said, we think this makes it a perfect spot for a restful, undisturbed sleep.

Porto's Heritage Heart

This apartment in the centre of Porto puts you within striking distance of the banks of the Douro River, the cathedral and the endless bars and restaurants of the historic old quarter. In just ten minutes you can be at the riverside on foot, where the old wine warehouses of the city cluster. Or stick to the immediate streets to discover baroque churches, traditional restaurants and lively bars.

Inside, it feels as though this place has been decorated with care and attention to every detail. Velvet, mid-century sofas and chairs brighten up the living room, which is already illuminated by natural light from long windows. Scalloped chairs are a classy touch to the dining table. Throw open the windows to make a Juliet-style balcony, and watch the bustle of the street below. What’s more, you can catch the sunset over the rooftops from this spot. 

Bird In The Hand

Giving guests an authentic experience in Porto, this spot puts you within walking distance of the city centre, its shops and restaurants. While the space is set up as a studio, it offers plenty of room for a couple or solo traveller to feel comfortable relaxing here after a day's adventures. It's worth noting that, as the lift is undergoing renovations (it's actually one of the first lifts to be installed in Porto), you'll need to be ok with climbing three flights of stairs to access the apartment. On the plus side, the host can help you arrange a variety of trips and experiences. Why not book a Port wine tasting? 


The Panda's Roar

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.

With its elevated top-floor position and sky-high vaulted ceiling, every corner of this city-centre flat is illuminated by natural light – a real rarity in these older buildings. We loved the covered balcony, where we could imagine nothing better than sitting in the wicker throne, a glass of local wine in hand, as the sound of live music drifts up from the streets below. Despite the central location, the apartment is calm and tranquil, making it perfect for families with children – especially when you add the second bunk room into the mix.

The open kitchen is also well-equipped for preparing light bites, just note there's no oven here. You'll also find a sofa bed in the living area, ideal for those travelling with younger families. However, keep in mind that you'll need to climb stairs to reach the entrance of this first-floor apartment.

Rua da Alegria is only a few minutes away from the shopping street of Santa Catarina and within walking distance to the riverside. But the central location doesn't mean that Poet's Swing is noisy – tucked away on a quiet street, it offers a relaxing atmosphere with beautifully refracting light from the tall windows. Spending time here is a pleasant experience, highlighted by the sleek modern furniture. There aren't many entertainment options in this home, but if you're here to explore the city, then you'll love coming back to this luminous apartment.  

Poet's Swing

Sleek and modern, this apartment in Bolhão is a great choice for those in search of a well-connected pad. It's within easy walking distance of Torre dos Clérigos and Avenida dos Aliados, while you'll be able to pick up fresh produce from Mercado do Bolhão right around the corner. The kitchen is fully equipped for preparing meals, while the balcony serves as a charming spot to enjoy evening sundowners. At capacity, one person will be sleeping on a sofa bed in the living area but there's plenty of room for three people to spread out and relax. It's also worth noting that you'll need to climb an external staircase to reach the entrance of the home. 

Bolhão Industrial

This functional studio puts you in a prime position to explore the best of Porto’s sights. Within easy reach of Livraria Lello, Porto Cathedral and Rua das Flores, you’ve got plenty in the way of history, culture and entertainment on your doorstep. The pocket-sized nature of this pad means the kitchenette is only suitable for light bites, but a private balcony is a nice touch – perfect for enjoying a glass of Portuguese wine after a busy day of exploring.
