Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Just a short walk from a selection of sandy beaches, this apartment is perfect for a coastal getaway in Porto. Comfortable for four people, it’s worth bearing in mind that at full occupancy, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living area. That said, with such an enviable location, it seems a small price to pay. There’s no parking here, but much of what you need is within walking distance and for trips further afield, Passeio Alegre bus stop is a mere one-minute walk away.
