Rio & Pedra is located on a charming street on the riverside in Miragaia, a peaceful spot that's about a twenty-minute walk away from the central sights. The little balcony will let you admire the river from the comfort of the living room, but the living room is just as pleasant to hang out in – especially the dining area next to the original stone wall. This is an immaculate home where we could see that the host has given the idea of comfort a lot of thought, and we loved the high-quality soft furnishings that give it a homey touch.

Local guide
About Miragaia
Situated to the west of the city centre, and leading down to the Douro river, Miragaia is a jumble of medieval streets. Like Ribeira, it has brightly coloured buildings and sweeping views over the water. But unlike the city’s main riverside hub, Miragaia is tucked away from the usual tourist trails. In the evenings its restaurant and bar scene thrives, but it’s generally calmer area, with a strong local population...
