Within walking distance of Foz do Douro’s beautiful beaches – the closest being Pastoras, a four-minute walk away – this compact apartment is calling to sun lovers. Found in a bright residential building, the studio is comfortable and well-kept, with enough space for a small family. It's important to note that little ones might find the spiral staircase challenging. Though it might not be the biggest, it's a great space for couples and solo nomads. And with a dining table doubling as a laptop-friendly worktop, it could even be a beachy pad for business trips.
