Ideally located just a four-minute walk from Batalha Square in Porto, this bright studio apartment gives you a taste of authentic Portuguese living while being within easy walking distance of some of the city’s best sights. You’ll immediately love the red-framed French doors that run the length of the far wall, giving way to a long balcony that’s ideal for people-watching over a glass of wine from your second-floor vantage point. The comfortable bed takes centre stage in the main living space with an inviting sofa at its end, while the marble-clad kitchenette beckons coffees and fresh pastéis de nata at the breakfast bar each morning. Outside of your home, both the ornate Livraria Lello bookshop that inspired Harry Potter as well as the historic Clérigos Tower are a fourteen-minute walk away, while the neoclassical Bolhão Market invites you to buy fresh produce for homemade feasts, a ten-minute stroll from your door. Elsewhere, the bustling Cais da Ribeira waterfront is also a ten-minute walk and when you cross the Luís I Bridge (a six-minute walk) you’ll find yourself in Vila Nova de Gaia where port cellars wait to be sampled.

About Batalha
Directly south of Bolhão and its famous market, Batalha is an inner-city area that borders on the historic centres of Baixa and Ribeira.
