Located on Porto’s elegant Rua de Santa Catarina – the city’s main shopping street – this sophisticated apartment is an ideal base for a couple or solo traveller looking for a comfortable, central stay. Light pours in through the wall of French doors in the open-plan main room, where a velvet turquoise sofa invites you to kick back with a glass of wine and the Juliet balconies proffer excellent people-watching opportunities. The sleek dining table, meanwhile, is all set to host breakfasts over coffee and pastéis de nata as well as intimate dinners as the sun sets. With a comfortable bedroom to retreat to too and a beautiful shower room to greet the day in, you’re all set for a relaxing time. Outside of your home, Rua de Santa Catarina’s shops beckon right on your front door, the Mercado do Bolhão (a fifteen-minute walk) is the place to buy fresh produce for memorable meals while Cais da Ribeira’s bustling waterfront is a twenty-five-minute walk from your door. Don’t miss walking across the Luís I Bridge over the Douro to explore Vila Nova de Gaia’s port cellars too, a thirty-five-minute walk from your home.
