Housed in a traditional tile-clad building in Porto’s buzzing centre, this stylish apartment offers a bright and comfortable base with countless of the city’s sights within easy reach on foot. Pared-back yet designed with a keen eye for detail, the home’s decor sets a calm scene with its neutral colour palette and contemporary furnishings. There’s a cool boho vibe here in the wood floors, rattan rug and vintage atlas print on the wall, while ample natural light pours in through the large wall of glass that opens out onto a private balcony. Sit here with your morning coffee while catching some rays or sip an evening glass of wine as the sky turns to shades of pink and amber over the rooftops. Better yet, head to the communal rooftop terrace at sunset for glorious views of the Torre dos Clérigos. And when you’re ready to turn in, you’ll find an elegantly minimalist bedroom to retreat to, inviting you to sleep soundly in its beautifully dressed bed. When it comes to sightseeing, you’re spoilt for choice with many of the city’s most celebrated monuments within minutes of your home. Take in the wow-worthy interiors of Livraria Lello (a two-minute... walk), visit the Igreja do Carmo (a three-minute walk) and soak up some history at Porto Cathedral (a ten-minute walk). You’re also a fourteen-minute stroll from Bolsa Palace, while bustling Cais da Ribeira is eighteen minutes away on foot.
