Perched above the Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia rooftops, this apartment's panoramic terrace is the kind of spot that makes you cancel whatever plans you had for the evening. Inside, the bedroom carries those same sweeping city views right to the pillow – floor-to-ceiling windows frame the skyline as you wake. The living space is calm and unfussy, with deep sofas for settling into after a day on the streets below. When you're ready to venture out, Gaia's wine cellars, local eateries, and sidewalk cafes are all within easy reach – as is central Porto by public transport.

Please note that there is ongoing construction work in the building, which causes noise between 8:00 AM and 7:00 PM.
