Located in Cedofeita between downtown Porto and Boavista, this bright, bohemian studio apartment is an ideal base for a couple or solo traveller looking for a quiet city stay. Housed in a renovated 13th-century building, the home nods to its historic past in its stone arched windows and elegant neutral palette while dazzling with modern comforts that will make you feel right at home. We love the wood floors dressed in a colourful rug and the mid-century modern furnishings that feel effortlessly elegant. Our favourite spot, however, is the private garden. Slide open the glass doors to step out into this green haven where a rattan peacock chair invites you to bask in the Portuguese sun and the heated solar outdoor shower waits to cool you down. Outside of your home, you’re an eighteen-minute walk from Liberdade Square, a twenty-minute stroll from the Clérigos Tower and Rua Santa Catarina’s shops are fifteen minutes on foot from your door.
