Set in a historic building in Porto, this studio features exposed stone walls and high ceilings that give the place a real sense of character. A private terrace makes for a peaceful start to the day, and the light-filled double room means you'll sleep well after exploring the city. Campo 24 de Agosto and Heroísmo metro stations are both within walking distance, putting central Porto within easy reach while keeping you grounded in a quieter, more local corner of the city.

Home truths

  • This is a compact studio apartment, so it works best for couples or solo travellers who prefer an efficient, well-designed space over room to spread out.

  • You're a short walk from two metro stations – Campo 24 de Agosto and Heroísmo – so getting into central Porto without a car is easy and straightforward.

  • While the patio is a nice place to enjoy the sun, it could do with a little refresh.
