Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Situated a stone's throw from Porto's heart, this apartment is just a fifteen-minute walk from the grand Avenida dos Aliados. Or go for a stroll along the River Douro, which is ten minutes on foot. This home is set over two levels, with a bright living room and bedroom on the lower floor, while above that lies the kitchen diner. We'd say the kitchen is quite compact, but it's well-equipped should you want to try cooking some Portuguese classics.

About Batalha
Directly south of Bolhão and its famous market, Batalha is an inner-city area that borders on the historic centres of Baixa and Ribeira.
