This place caught our eye for its waterfront location. Situated on the banks of the Douro River in Porto, Portugal’s second biggest city, you’re perfectly placed to enjoy relaxing walks along the riverside. The surrounding area is steeped in history with narrow, cobbled streets, merchants’ houses and iconic bridges, and the city centre is just 2km away. You’ll have access to a shared swimming pool that’s open all year round, as well as a shared garden and a restaurant. Most of the apartments offer river views but as your host operates several apartments here, the exact view may differ from the photos.

Perfectly pitched, with sweeping views of the Douro River at its mercy, this charming apartment will have you experiencing Porto in a convenient and serene environment. Days begin clutching your morning coffee out on the private balcony, taking in the tiled facades and shimmering sea views. 

Stepping inside, it's a lovingly curated space with soft furnishings, paintings, an original log burner and decorative touches that add a real sense of homeliness to the place. Cleverly designed to maximise the abundant natural light and dazzling vistas off the balcony, the open-plan living space and dining area faces the perpetual river. Elsewhere, the bedroom is a stylish affair with calm orange tones that will soothe the soul after a day down at the beach. 

Speaking of, fill your afternoons here with sunbathing and swimming at  Praia do Carneiro's vast golden sands and crystal-clear waters. You're a short walk from Foz do Douro's waterfront promenade, boasting a variety of excellent restaurants, lively cafe-bars and popular markets for your evening's entertainment. We also recommend the 17th-century Castelo do Queijo fortress nearby for those in town for sightseeing.

Nestled into a cosy coastal corner of Porto, this luxury home has everything you could want for a dream escape. Cute shops and welcoming restaurants line the surroundings streets, leading to the serenity of the beach. It's a location that caters to every style of holiday. 

If you're looking for a tranquil Portuguese retreat, the home is perfectly placed. It resides in the sleepy hum of Foz Velha, a quiet collection of cafes resting by the gentle flow of the Douro River. Wander through the assembly of shops before settling into a peaceful afternoon on the beach. 

Inland, the vibrant charisma of Porto welcomes those who long for a more enlivened trip. A quaint tram system takes you right to the heart of the city – here you can find lively bars, bustling streets and authentic restaurants. Striking architecture laces the streets together, spearheaded by the iconic cathedral.

Whether you spend your days sunbathing or exploring, the private comfort of the house is the perfect haven. Sip on a glass of wine on the balcony, looking out onto the calmness of the river. For a cosy night in, the intimate living room centres around a huge TV with your favourite platforms. 

Urban Beachhouse

If you want your city break to have a side of relaxation and luxury, this is the holiday home for you. This gorgeous duplex sits in a lovely spot close to the River Douro, offering beautiful views across the water. As soon as you arrive, you’ll be drawn out to the balcony, where – if you’re anything like us – you’ll tuck into breakfast each day, and round things off by watching the sunset with a glass of wine. It’s an idyllic spot. 

Inside, the apartment is just as striking. Exposed stone walls and dark wood furniture combine with floor-to-ceiling windows to stunning effect, and everything you need is close to hand. Cook local dishes in the kitchen and dine in together, opening up the balcony doors to merge the indoor and outdoor spaces for cocktail hour. 

When you want to see more of Porto, you’ll find that you’re within easy walking distance of all of the major sights and attractions. You’ll never want to leave this classy and convenient home. 


River View Rest

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

Situated right where the River Douro meets the Atlantic Ocean, this stylish apartment offers spectacular views and plenty of living space. Two balconies grant you the opportunity to relax in the sun – the one off the main bedroom is perfect for morning cups of coffee, while the downstairs balcony is ideal for cocktails as the evening draws to a close. Floor-to-ceiling windows show off the scenery all day long, a sleek kitchen makes rustling up meals a breeze and a cosy sofa is a perfect spot to kick back and relax after a busy day exploring. Our favourite room is the main bedroom. As well as the private balcony, it has all the bells and whistles you'd want – blackout blinds, built-in Bluetooth speakers and a lavish rainfall shower in the en-suite. 

When you're ready to explore, both the 1 and 18 trams run right past the home, so you'll have no problem getting to and from Porto's bustling city centre. That said, Foz do Douro isn't lacking in activities, either. Sprawl out on the miles of sandy beaches (Praia das Pastoras is a fifteen-minute walk away), grab dinner and drinks at one of the waterfront restaurants or just stroll along the river, admiring the many landmarks, lighthouses and sculptures representing Portugal's rich history.

Still River

Throws

This enchanting and contemporary apartment in the heart of Porto is a design-lovers dream. With exposed stone walls in varying beautiful textures, this home balances its natural architecture with sleek and comforting finishes to create a relaxing base for you and your cohort.

There's a modern and elegant theme running throughout this light-flooded home – with a plush linen sofa, sleek glass and metal furnishings and a decorative rug that inspires you to unwind. The open-plan living room and the kitchen is the perfect spot for socialising with your guests – spend mornings with coffee and pastéis de nata around and evenings with a glass of Tempranillo and olives before heading out to one of the local neighbourhood bars. 

If you’re seeking a cultural excursion will be delighted that the Bolsa Palace and Porto Cathedral are only a short walk away. Head north to visit the Livraria Lello, which is said to be the most beautiful bookshop in the world, before stopping at Mercado Ferreira Borges – this iconic piece of iron architecture contains tapas restaurants, a wine bar and a neighbourhood nightclub – the best part? It’s just around the corner from your apartment, so after a night sampling Porto’s music scene, you can fall into your soft sheets within minutes.

Try a slice of Porto life at this immaculately presented studio apartment, standing proud along one of the city’s oldest streets. Housed in a period building once home to 18th Century bourgeoisie society, the picture windows and ornate balcony that wraps the length of this home remain to tell of its deep history. And though it’s a studio space, we think it’s beautifully formed and full of charm. Ideally suited for a romantic break for two or a single traveller, there’s a cosy nook for your morning breakfast and a well-kitted-out kitchen area for rustling up a light meal. Though let’s face it, in the land of smoked cheese, cured meats, Atlantic-caught seafood, and Pastel de Nata, we suspect you’ll be dining out, a lot. And you won’t have far to go to find all the delicacies, or indeed must-see sights, of the city. You’re just five minutes from some of the city’s most happening bars and restaurants and a twenty-minute stroll from the Duoro River. The famous Livraria Lello, where Harry Potter was born is just around the corner. So is the Clérigos Tower viewpoint – the perfect spot to admire this picture-postcard pretty city.

Uptown Rock

Situated in the charming Ribeiro neighbourhood, a three-minute walk from the neoclassical Palácio da Bolsa and within touching distance of old-school restaurants serving traditional Portuguese fare, this modern and bright apartment is a great base for exploring all that Porto has to offer.

We loved the light-filled living space, with its huge floor-to-ceiling windows and double-height ceilings. A dining table takes centre stage, encouraging lively breakfasts in the morning and hearty suppers in the evening. There’s also a cosy mezzanine level that is the perfect spot for reclining with a glass of wine before retreating to sumptuous bedrooms for an early night. 

Slip into the narrow cobbled streets and begin your sightseeing adventure. The 12th-century Porto Cathedral is six minutes from your doorstep and the Igreja dos Clérigos with its 75-metre-tall bell tower is reached in less than ten. When it’s time to call it a day, make a beeline for the Vitória viewpoint to watch dusk fall across the city.

Ribeira is one of Porto’s most charming and typical neighbourhoods, and this apartment blends right in. Steps from the apartment is the riverfront, where Porto’s famous wine cellars line the banks, and walking the narrow streets of the neighbourhood you’ll find delights like Palacio Bolta three minutes away, and Mercado Ferreira Borges five minutes on foot. The first thing you’ll notice, stepping into the apartment, is the view directly over the Douro River from the wall of big windows in the living room. Wooden shutters add a touch of tradition, and the darkwood dressers and artfully faded Moroccan rugs are in keeping with the building’s history. Hardwood floors lead from the living room, to the compact kitchen in an alcove and through to the bright bedroom where the exposed stone and big sash window motif continues.

River Port

From its enviable position in the centre of Porto, this stylish yet functional apartment is an excellent choice for families and groups of friends alike. The open-plan living space is perfectly proportioned, with enough room for entertaining your loved ones or enjoying a quiet moment with a cup of coffee. We had a particular soft spot for the individually designed bedrooms and we loved the kitchen’s handy serving hatch.

When you’re ready to explore your surroundings. Begin with a trip to Porto Cathedral, just a short walk from your building. Or why not head down to the water? Amble alongside the Duoro River with an ice cream in hand before watching the world pass by in a charming cafe. In the early evening, we recommend watching the sunset from the nearby Miradouro da Rua das Aldas viewpoint.

Located only a few minutes from the Clérigos Tower, On The Lookout's rooftop terrace offers a rival view to the Cathedral and downtown architecture. The insides of this home are equally impressive, with a welcoming communal area all dressed in wood. The rustic touches are added in the form of forest animal prints, which adds to the warm ambiance in every room. The terrace is only accessible via the upstairs bedroom, but if that's not too much of an inconvenience, then you're cordially invited to experience the view (and the comfort) for yourself. 

On The Lookout

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. 


Sipping Port

A haven of calm in Portugal's bustling riverside city, this chic one-bed apartment will set you up for a memorable stay. The recently-refurbished interiors are strikingly stylish, from the punchy tiled bathroom to the moulded walls and ceiling. The recurrent use of teal infuses the home with a sense of serenity.

Sliding glass doors lead to the elegant sleeping space, a colourful yet restful enclave that could easily be mistaken for a boutique hotel room. Doze away from bustling street noise, then start the morning with a coffee and pastel de nata at the bright dining table. The kitchen is fully-equipped if you fancy a proper breakfast to fuel you for the day ahead.

The historic Sé Cathedral is just ten minutes away, an impressive demonstration of Romanesque architecture. From here, you're within easy reach of the widely-photographed São Bento station – its hand-painted tiling makes it one of the most beautiful railway stations in the world. Come evening, walk the five minutes from your apartment to Cais da Ribeira, a busy piazza with plentiful restaurants and bars to sample this city's world-famous port at. 

Teal Tranquility

Balcony / Patio

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

Exercise Equipment

We had to break from doing some serious shopping to tell you about this Porto gem. This elegant apartment, housed in a recently renovated 20th-century building, is located right in the heart of the pedestrianised retail hub of Rua Santa Catarina. For fresh produce and a vibrant atmosphere, head to Mercado do Bolhão, a three-minute walk away. It's not all about shopping, though – the Chapel of Souls is a two-minute walk away, where you'll discover its beautiful azulejo tiled façade. Or take a break in the Café Majestic, a beautiful Art Nouveau café, a five-minute walk from this home. A little further, Porto Cathedral is fourteen minutes on foot. Then stop off at the small port wine shop opposite this home and take some back to this apartment.

Inside, there are furnishings from Portuguese designers and artists. Lots of large windows allow light to flood in. We adore the spacious open plan living space with its two French doors, which open onto a small balustraded balcony overlooking the street. Off the bedroom, there's a secluded terrace too, perfect for a coffee or glass of Port. Later, chill out on the mezzanine level or have a game of chess. There's plenty of room for a family or friends to spread out here. If you prefer to eat in, whip up a bacalhau à Gomes (cod casserole) in the modern kitchen and enjoy it at your dining table. Honestly, though, you probably won't be spending that much time indoors with so much on your doorstep.



Blue Sails

Cafetiere

This home nearly feels like staying on a boat – what with the large French doors opening directly onto the Douro River. Whether you’re sat on the sofa or enjoying a coffee at the dining table, you’ll have sweeping views of the water and the city. The windows’ second benefit is the sheer amount of light the living space gets, bathing the tasteful furniture in the warm sun. We could spend hours with a book in the armchair, taking in the sea air as the day grows to a peak. But of course, this central location leaves much to be explored. You can wander along the riverfront’s picturesque fishing neighbourhoods, hopping on the 1930s tram that runs to Foz. Or, board on a boat that will take you to the famous terraced Douro vineyards to sample Vinho Verde and Port. You’ll be walking distance from beautiful historic buildings, located in one of the quietest streets of Ribeira, and only a thirteen-minute walk from São Bento Railway Station – which will connect you all over the city.

This gorgeous studio apartment offers you the chance to immerse yourself in Porto's beating heart. Located in the Clérigos area, between Jardim da Cordoaria and Jardim Municipal do Horto das Virtudes, it's ideal for guests who want to combine city living with easy access to some green space. 

The home may be petite, but the clever layout really maximises the space available. Step inside, and you'll find a sleek kitchen where you can whip up your favourite dishes to enjoy at the cute round table as sunlight streams in through the window. If you need to catch up on work, or are feeling inspired to start writing your novel, there's a desk space where you can use your laptop. And, when evening rolls around, you only need to pad up a couple of steps to curl up in the comfy bed for a great night's sleep. 

From here, the baroque Clérigos Tower is just a four-minute walk away, as is the Igreja do Carmo with its tiled facade. Book lovers will be delighted that the Livraria Lello is five minutes away, and foodies are spoilt for choice with the range of restaurants and port cellars in the surrounding streets. And, with the Duoro River just a ten-minute walk away, you can schedule a boat trip to see the city from a new perspective.

Some holiday homes are all about the location, others boast unique designs, while some have quirky perks that make you want to move in – this renovated studio apartment in the heart of the Old Town has it all. Consider neutral tones of olive green and dark brown for the interior that set the tone for artisanal furnishings and light wood surfaces. From the animal print rug to the sculpture in plaster, this home is a picture of pared-back beauty. Bathed in natural light streaming in through balcony doors, you’ll find the living room an ideal spot for unwinding with a good book or playing games. The sleek marble kitchen comes with appliances that will make cooking a delight – complete with a balcony to enjoy your morning espresso and pastel de nata tart on while you watch the world go by in this historic part of town. 

When you’re in the mood for exploring, you couldn’t be better placed with the trendy Ribeira quarter on your doorstep, brimming with authentic restaurants, hip bars and enchanting wine cellars. Culture seekers will love the São Francisco Church domes and Old Town markets nearby. Walk across the Luis I Bridge, one that provides a panoramic perspective of both banks of the river, allowing you to see exquisite details of the city that you would miss from the ground. Whatever you plan to see, pencil in a moment for simply sitting back and relishing in the beautifully crafted sanctuary of your own home.


Pottering About

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.  

Super Naturals

Sometimes a home makes such an impression on us that we’re willing to look past a few flaws, simply because the rest is worth it. Ruby Port is one such home. Honestly, the maintenance needs a bit of work, and the terraces need tidying up, but the place is just so special. From the spectacular views of the Douro River to the beautiful azulejo tiles and the stone fireplace, it has a distinct soul and Porto charm that we simply can't get enough of – it feels like the kind of place we could spend a long time in. Whether you're drinking a chilled glass of Porto wine from the spacious terrace, taking a dip in the private pool or even washing up in the shower, you'll be able to appreciate the lovely views over the water. Inside, light pours in through the patio doors, creating a bright and airy living space to relax. Full of cream furnishings and neutral tones, it's a homely apartment too. Step outside of the building and be in the heart of Porto, and yet you'll find the immediate neighbourhood is quiet and friendly. Walk to the Jardins do Palácio de Cristal and Museum Soares dos Reis in under ten minutes. Come evening, there's a dazzling array of family-run eateries and hidden bars to discover, just wander down the charming backstreets and see for yourself. 

Ruby Port

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

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.


A Strawberry Moon

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

This unique studio apartment is tucked away in one of Porto’s most vibrant streets, Rua das Flores. It’s an excellent central base, within easy walking distance of Porto’s main attractions and lively squares. Inside the apartment, you’ll find a charming space ideal for two. It’s a studio but there’s still a decent amount of room, with a separate sitting area and a workspace. It’s sleek and modern, with everything you might need for a comfortable city break. 

Porto Prestige

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.

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. 

Silver Halo

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 right next to Jardim das Virtudes and near the iconic Clérigos Tower, this stylish studio apartment gives guests the convenience of being able to walk out to see Porto's attractions with ease. The perfect base from which to explore the city, the space features a small balcony with enough room to sit and enjoy a drink in the sunshine. Inside, ample sunlight flows through the studio during the day, and the cosy set-up and aesthetics of the living area allow for chilled-out evenings at home. While the draw of this place is having the choice, it's quite likely you'll want to discover the nearby local eateries and wine cellars when staying here. 


The Portent

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

Sitting just a short walk from Alfândega and the Douro River, this duplex apartment is a convenient base for a group of friends or family. You’ll need to climb some stairs to reach this second-floor apartment, so keep that in mind. The third bedroom lacks some privacy, though the sliding doors allow you to partition it off from the living area. And while the dining room doesn’t accommodate all six guests, you'll find plenty of casual eateries, bars and cafes on your doorstep. Location-wise, Porto’s iconic sights, including Bolsa Palace, the Miradouro da Vitória and Mosteiro de São Bento da Vitória are within easy reach.

Wherever you find yourself, this home provides a constant sense of sanctuary – a place to unwind and experience the magic of Porto. 

The Mellow Moon 

Right in the heart of the city, this central apartment is ideally suited for those looking to visit the top sights and cultural attractions. Due to the location, there's potential for noise here. Light sleepers may want to pack earplugs. You're right by Ribeira, with the waterfront's restaurants, bars and cafes just a short walk away. There's limited living space and the kitchen is only suitable for preparing light bites, but it's a good pick for solo travellers or couples. You'll notice the colourful decor that creates a welcoming home, while the exposed stone is a nice touch. Open up the shutters and invite the sounds of Porto into the apartment, as you relax after a busy day of sightseeing.

And if you need a friendly guide during your stay, your host can provide some great tips on how to make the most of the city.

The Rose Glow 

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

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.

A functional studio flat in central Porto, this home is a comfortable place to lay weary heads after several glasses of port. Although the kitchenette isn't suited for extravagant meals, you'll find everything you need for light bites – combined with the washing machine, the home is ideal for extended stays. On the streets below, you'll find a host of eateries right on your doorstep, along with a plethora of museums and the like.

The Good Spirit

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 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

This stylish home offers the best of both worlds – the ocean's on your doorstep, and the lively city of Porto is just a thirty-minute bus journey away. Spend mornings laying horizontal at Matosinhos Beach and afternoons taking in the historic sights that make up this sunny corner of Portugal.

The coastal abode is composed of two independent apartments, ideal for groups who value their privacy. Come together at mealtimes in the spacious garden and savour fresh grub cooked up in one of the two high-spec kitchens. High ceilings, modern furnishings and a calming colour palette characterise the home, juxtaposing with the traditional tiled facade.

Make sure you sample the restaurant scene in the area during your stay. Seafood is the speciality here, and you can enjoy your mussels or cod knowing they've been freshly plucked from the sea earlier that same day. There are plenty of shops and supermarkets nearby, too, if you prefer to do the cooking yourself.

Matosinhos Abode

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.
