Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Perched on Porto's seafront in Foz, this villa wraps you in Atlantic views from a rooftop terrace that earns its reputation as the place to be at sundown. The facade – deep green azulejo tiles that mark it as unmistakably Portuense – gives way to interiors where oak floors and considered lighting make every room feel like it was designed to be lived in, not just admired. When the city calls, Ribeira's UNESCO-listed waterfront is about fifteen minutes on foot, or you can follow the riverside by vintage tram.
