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.

Nice to haves

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

Desk

Child Friendly

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

Paid Parking

Located just a two-minute stroll from Rua das Flores and a seven-minute walk from Porto Cathedral, this apartment is perfect for sightseeing. If you want to explore the rest of the city, São Bento train station is five minutes on foot. Just remember to bring you're walking shoes, as this home is on a bit of a hill and the apartment is on the first floor, with no lift (there are two flights of stairs to reach the door). But you are rewarded with views of the city's cathedral once you've arrived – take in the vistas from the private balcony. Inside, we love the vaulted ceilings, which add character to this modern home.

Welcome Hamper

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

Desk / Workplace

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.

Pools of Light

Located on one of Porto’s liveliest streets, this studio apartment is very close to the iconic Ribeira which can be reached on foot within seven minutes. A picturesque part of the city, in the heart of the old town, Ribeira is a riverside spot overlooking the Douro River where you can visit Praça da Ribeira square which is lined with colourful 18th-century townhouses, and visit Bolsa Palace, a neoclassical landmark with ornate interiors which is a short three-minute walk from your door. At dinner time, weave your way through the cobbled streets of Ribeira where you will find plenty of small bars and eateries – to taste classic Portuguese fare such as grilled sardines.

This home is also perfectly situated to explore everything else that Porto has to offer. Porto Cathedral can be reached within five minutes by foot where you can enjoy the sunlight shining in through the stained glass rose window as you explore one of the city’s oldest Romanesque monuments. Clérgios Tower is just a seven-minute walk away, while a chance to admire the blue-tiled exterior of The Church of Souls – painted with scenes of saints – is just a ten-minute walk from your door.

Go shopping at Livraria Lello, often regarded as one of the most beautiful bookshops in the world – just an eight-minute walk away. Or, experience what Porto is best known for – its port wine production – at a wine tasting room just two minutes away from this home on foot. Whatever you’re looking for in Porto, this home is on the doorstep of sights and city exploration.

Down the Ribeira

Location doesn’t get much better than this in Porto – on a charming shopping street just a couple of streets away from Sao Bento train station. It’s the ideal position to explore the city on foot, with the ancient azulejo-tiled churches and baroque towers punctuating orange-roofed buildings. On your doorstep, you’ve got family-run restaurants, charming coffee shops and bakeries serving oven-fresh custard tarts. Plus, the famous wine warehouses that line the Douro at Ribeira are just a short stroll away.

This studio apartment is a stylish spot to return to after a day exploring downtown Porto. Modern, monochrome artworks sit against striking bottle-green walls, but the first thing that caught our attention was the wall of stone-framed windows, looking out over the tiled buildings of your typical Porto street. Throwing these open, you can listen to the chatter from the street waking up in the morning while dozing in the comfy bed before settling in at plush velvet chairs for a classic breakfast of custard tarts and coffee. 

Rich Green & Wicker

It’s the small details that make a city stay special – like the warm tones and elegant styling of this Porto apartment. It’s the kind of space that enriches the moment and makes it easy to settle in.

Located in the historic Miragaia, this is a wonderful place to experience the rich culture and tradition of the city. And there’s everything you could need here for a fulfilling stay. From preparing your morning coffee in the kitchen to relaxing in the bedroom, there’s a sense of ease and flow throughout this home. 

Follow the city buzz onto the cobbled streets of Miragaia. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is lined with beautiful townhouses and small eateries serving classic Portuguese dishes. It also offers wonderful views of the Douro River. Make your way down to the water’s edge for a boat trip or take the tram to Foz do Duoro for a day at the beach. 

When you're full of fresh sea air and inspiration, this apartment is the perfect place to relax and reflect on the beauty of Porto. 

Sage & Lemon

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

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.  

Light Port

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

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?

The View From Here

Netflix

Along the charming cobbled streets of Porto’s Baixa neighbourhood sits Rustic Tawny, a small but beautifully curated studio apartment. Boasting pastoral architectural features in combination with minimalist interiors, we were not only impressed with the sleek look but more importantly, the comfort provided. On top of that, you’ll be staying in a fabulous location, especially if you’ve never been to Porto before. You're right by the city centre and close to the most important tourist attractions. Of course, it wouldn't be Porto if wonderful cafes didn't also line the streets.

Rustic Tawny

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

With its great location in trendy Rua das Flores, this functional home places the best of the Porto on your doorstep. The river is just a fifteen-minute walk away, while the local area is teeming with historic buildings, eateries, bars, and more. Arrival is easy thanks to the self-check-in, and the kitchenette has everything needed if you want to cook. Being a studio flat, you won't find much space here, but with that location, we think you'll be outside more often than not.

Inside, there are all the creature comforts to get settled in right away. Rustle up early evening drinks and nibbles in the smart kitchen space and pad outside onto your private balcony – the views of Porto's ornate balconies and rooftops beyond are every bit like you imagined. Or beat the heat and crash out inside with a movie – there's a smart TV at the ready.

When it's time to soak up Porto's rich culture, make a beeline for the iconic Mercado do Bolhão and the signature blue and white tiles of the 18th-century Chapel of Souls – both just a six-minute walk away. Mosey over to the stylish Santa Catarina Boulevard (five minutes on foot) with its trim boutiques, striped stone footpaths, and buzzy cafes for obligatory pastel de natas and people-watching. Or hop on the metro at Trindade (just a four-minute walk away) to unearth other corners of this captivating city.

Sunshine on the Terrace

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

Rooftop Terrace

Located only a few minutes away from Bolhão Market, Sunglasses is surrounded by cosy cafes, art galleries, and shops. This is a bright home with a pleasant atmosphere and plenty of spots to hang out and relax. The design is heavily focused on functionality rather than aesthetics, but the simplicity works well with the open layout. From here, you'll have easy access to the central sights and the walk down to the riverside is filled with great bars and restaurants where you can refuel. 

Sunglasses

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

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

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

You’ll find this apartment in downtown Porto, mere steps away from the city’s main squares and landmarks. Ideal as a base for a couple or solo traveller, just bear in mind that you’ll need to climb stairs to the third floor to access the apartment. Still, when you reach your home, your eyes will be drawn to the private balcony. Sure, it’s not the biggest and the views are only of the street below, but it’s still a lovely sun-kissed spot for a glass of wine at the end of the day. 

Porto's Charm

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

Patio / Terrace

Sip a glass of port wine on this home's private terrace right next to Porto's must-see landmarks and cultural hotspots. With its shaded lounge area and dining table, you'll enjoy sunny breakfasts and sunset dinners out here. This home is ideal for a couple, business professional or young family. 

Inside, it's a modern apartment with plenty of soul and character, due to the exposed beam ceilings and wood floors. Relax with a cup of coffee and a pastel de nata in the comfortable living space, dressed in stylish furnishings and vibrant pops of yellow. Heaps of natural sunlight pour in through the sliding glass doors that can be opened up to make for seamless contemporary living.

When it's time to head out, the ornate Livraria Lello bookshop is right on your doorstep, or walk to Clérigos Tower in just a few minutes – the striking church bells can be seen from various points of the city and are considered something of a characteristic symbol. It's a short stroll to the Palácio da Bolsa and the Cais da Ribeira along the riverfront, teeming with excellent restaurants and cocktail bars.

Hideaway Terrace

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.

You will be in the heart of Porto's art district, home to amazing galleries, and boutiques owned by rising artists, with glimpses of real Portuguese life around every corner. After grabbing a couple of Pasteis de Nata, walk across the Luis I Bridge, one that offers a panoramic view of both sides of the river and enables you to see exquisite aspects of the city that you would miss from the ground. Make a trip to Livraria Lello – if you're a Harry Potter fan, you'll know that this bookstore served as an inspiration for author J.K. Rowling, who resided in Porto.


Sweetness of Joy

Hidden behind the blue facade of a beautiful traditional building, you'll find this gorgeous apartment. With a great location just ten minutes away from the riverside and plenty of space for your guests to relax, it's a great choice for groups eager to explore the wonders of Porto.

There are several quirky touches to admire, from the geometric patterns on the armchairs to the intriguing prints on the walls. And, on sunny mornings, you'll love sipping your morning coffee outside on the balcony as you plan your itinerary for the day to come. 

Wander down to the riverside and admire the bridges the city is famous for, or take a boat trip for a new perspective on the city. A ten-minute walk will bring you into the old town, where you can enjoy a tasting in one of the port bars. And, if you're craving some green space, both Parque das Virtudes and Jardim de João Chagas are within a five-minute walk. 

Downtown Dream

What’s more, from this fantastic fifth-floor home you’ll also be treated to unbeatable urban views from your private terrace.  

Why not try your hand at replicating a classic Invicta in the all-white kitchen before gathering around the wooden dining table in the light-filled living space?

Those wanting to explore all that Porto has to offer will relish this home’s central location within easy reach of the traditional Mercado do Bolhão, the Dom Luís I Bridge and the Rua de Santa Catarina.

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

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.

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.

Sun Stones

Mosquito Net

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, with the Duoro River just a ten-minute walk away, you can schedule a boat trip to see the city from a new perspective. 

Twin Gardens

Between two beautiful parks – Jardim da Cordoaria and Jardim das Virtudes – and set in a pretty period building, this studio home is quite the little charmer. With high ceilings and stripped-back woodwork to its trio of Juliet balcony windows, it's full of character, and its recent refurbishment has added a big helping of modern styling and clever design. 

There's a bespoke kitchen packed with everything you'll need for cooking at home, along with a comfy sofa, a little dining area and even a desk. And while this is a studio, the addition of a sleeping platform up a few steps divides the space neatly – creating storage beneath. Step out of bed and straight into your in-room rainfall shower, before making a cup of coffee and opening up the shutters to gaze across at the park.

With wine bars and cafes on your street, you won't have to go far for a true taste of Porto, and the riverside is just a ten-minute walk.



The Shuttersmith

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.

Free Parking On Premises

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.


White Camellias

Located in Porto's iconic Rua das Flores – known for its cultural landmarks, shopping and restaurants – you're right in the heart of the city at this stylish apartment. With three bedrooms, a bright dining area and a Juliet balcony, it's perfect for family trips and friendly get-togethers. 

On the ground floor, you'll find an impressive open-plan living space, combining natural materials, modern furnishings and a side of industrial design to create a relaxing home. Abundant light floods in throughout the day, thanks to the large patio doors, while the green-coloured velvet sofa and wooden dining table make for a calm and comfortable space to unwind, eat and drink together. There's a sleek kitchenette that allows you to cook for your guests while keeping up with the conversation. Grab a glass of wine and perch against the balcony, admiring the rooftop views and spotting the city sights all around.

With beautiful Jardim de João Chagas and the striking Sé do Porto nearby, plenty of trendy eateries and lively wine bars right on your doorstep, and the Cais da Ribeira waterfront only an eight-minute stroll away, if your number one priority is a vibrant location, then look no further.

Hit the Roof

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.
