Tucked into Porto's residential Bonfim neighbourhood, this apartment earns its reputation for seclusion with not one but two private patios – the one off the living room, framed by original stone walls, is particularly good for a quiet morning coffee. Inside, the two bedroom suites each have their own feel, with skylights in the bathrooms adding a considered touch. Galleries and grocery stores are a short walk away, and the Douro river, São Bento Station, and Porto Cathedral are all reachable on foot – the city reveals itself at your own pace from here.

Local guide


About Bonfim

Bonfim is a neighbourhood where you can really blend in and live like a local. It’s not at all overrun by tourists. It was formerly an industrial area, and in parts the architecture still bears traces of this. There’s a real mix of local businesses as well as trendy cafes and restaurants — a good fit for families or groups after a low-key base not too far from the centre....
