A prime spot in Porto makes this apartment an excellent choice. São Bento Station is a two-minute stroll away, while popular landmarks like Clérigos Tower and the Livraria Lello bookshop are also nearby. Bars, restaurants, boutiques – you name it, you can walk to it, making this the ideal spot for sightseeing. Despite its small size, the split-level layout makes the home seem bigger than it is. It's comfortable, well-equipped, and the design is understated. And while there isn’t an oven or washing machine hare and it can get noisy, we think the central location to be worth the trade-off.

Midsummer Nights

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

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

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

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.

The Porto Spirit

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 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

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

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. 

Paper Romance

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

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. 

Textures of Stone

Located in the heart of Downtown, this apartment is a great option for those in search of a well-connected city getaway. From here, you’ll find it’s just a short stroll to the characterful streets of Ribeira, while the close proximity to São Bento Metro station (just 350 metres away) ensures easy access to the rest of the city. It’s worth noting there are stairs leading to the entrance of the apartment, but once inside you’ll find the rooms are well-suited to couples and remote workers. There is a sofa bed for one guest, plus your host is on hand to help organise extras like breakfast and grocery deliveries.
