Perched in the postcard-pretty district of Cais das Pedras and just a three-minute amble to the Rio Douro, you’ve got the best of Porto at your feet here. Take your pick from the sights of downtown Porto (within walking distance) or hop on the nearby tram to the laidback beaches of Foz do Douro. Though not the largest home in our Porto collection, the French balconies leading off the living room and bedroom help to open up the space. At full occupancy, the last guest will sleep on a sofa bed in the lounge. But for a home this charming, we can let that slide.

  • No time for average – We reject thousands of homes worldwide, so you don't have to.
  • Hosts we know – With track records of high-quality hosting.
  • Rated ‘Excellent’ on Trustpilot – Exceptional service before, during and after your stay.

Home truths

    This home sleeps three guests, with the last guest sleeping on a sofa bed in the living room. We think this bed is better suited for short stays or a teen.

    The kitchen is compact and, therefore, is better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.

    While the French balcony is charming, there isn't room to sit outside.

    Bathroom essentials are provided to help you settle in.

    This home is in a central spot, so expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay. Light sleepers might want to pack earplugs.

Local guide


About Miragaia

Situated to the west of the city centre, and leading down to the Douro river, Miragaia is a jumble of medieval streets. Like Ribeira, it has brightly coloured buildings and sweeping views over the water. But unlike the city’s main riverside hub, Miragaia is tucked away from the usual tourist trails. In the evenings its restaurant and bar scene thrives, but it’s generally calmer area, with a strong local population...
