Having a private pool in the heart of Porto is a rare thing, and this apartment delivers exactly that – sun-soaked afternoons on the terrace giving way to alfresco dining in the walled garden. Inside, the light-filled living room opens straight onto the terrace, making the line between indoors and out reassuringly blurry. It's chock-full of all you need to feel at home, from a PlayStation 5 to a popcorn machine. Step outside and the Clérigos Tower, Mercado do Bolhão, and the Douro riverside are all within a twenty-minute walk.
