This Porto apartment is the perfect base from which to explore, remote work, or make the most of a business trip. Industrial cool concrete blends with traditional Portuguese tiling to create a modern yet cosy space. Start the day with a coffee on the balcony, or step outside and enjoy one of the many artisan coffee shops, vegan bites, and neighbourhood cafes within minutes of your apartment. Your host is on hand the whole time to assist with anything you might need: from an airport transfer to breakfast, grocery deliveries and even babysitting – no request is too big! Their address book is also second to none, and you can easily book through them dinner at home with a chef, boat tours, and wine tastings. Your neighbourhood Bonfim has retained an authentic, local feel, and there are plenty of great cafes and vintage shops around you, with the city centre just fifteen minutes away on foot. For those in search of culture, take a twenty minute stroll to Capela das Almas, the famous church featuring 16,000 painted tiles. The apartment has super fast Wi-Fi and would be well suited to remote working and extended stays. For the sun worshippers, the wide and sandy Matosinhos beach can be reached in twenty minutes by car.

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....
