Perfectly positioned between Porto’s city centre and the beach, this stylish, concrete home is a modern rival to the region’s classical architecture. The length of the house bends around to create a crescent curve, hugging the urban garden and angular pool. Everything leads to this outdoor space. Living room doors open out onto it, and every bedroom has its own view of it. While the pool terrace favours a minimalist elegance, around the corner you’ll find a more warming, wooden round table and patch of grass to gather around. Inside is far from understated, with bold prints and paintings, natural wood, and house plants providing an elegant nod to a sixties and seventies deco glam. The bedrooms have a natural palette of pine and white, where every aim is to relax. Perhaps the biggest sigh of happiness comes from the grand bathtub with garden views. In a city where contemporary art meets a historical old centre, this home pioneers a clash of the old and new.

Local guide


About Foz do Douro

Once a hub for fishing and commerce, Foz do Douro is now an upmarket neighbourhood that sits at the meeting point of the Douro river and the ocean. It’s considered the most affluent area of Porto, and many of its residents are professionals who commute into the city. It’s also popular with more elderly residents looking for peace and quiet. The seafront is dominated by wide esplanades, and bars and restaurants...
