Once you open the door to this smart Porto apartment, you'll instantly be charmed by its combination of style and comfort. The concrete feature walls provide an industrial edge, while the natural textures and neutral colour palette create a chilled-out atmosphere where you can relax between adventures. The kitchen is decked out with all the equipment you need to whip up homecooked meals, and both the living area and the balcony are excellent spots to sample some local Portuguese wine. A half-hour walk will bring you into Porto's old town, or you can jump on the bus to arrive in around fifteen minutes. For an additional fee, your hosts can arrange a food tour or experience package to ensure you get the most out of your stay – they can show you the local gems other tourists don't know about. As an added bonus, this home is only 13km from the golden sands of Praia de Salgueiros, and 10km from the natural beauty of the six-hole Golfe Quinta do Fojo course, so you'll never run out of things to do.

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....
