You won't be able to stop smiling during your stay at this duplex in Porto. The simple interior design creates a sense of calm, meaning you can truly kick back and relax during your trip. The open-plan kitchen and living area gives you enough space to cook, eat and chill out between adventures, and you can fling open the patio doors to embrace indoor-outdoor living. You'll love starting your day with a hot coffee straight from the Nespresso machine outside in the sunny garden – it's also a great spot to do some port tasting later in the day. The surrounding Bonfim neighbourhood is full of life, and is a little off the tourist track, meaning that you're sure to find some excellent local restaurants and bars nearby. Don't forget to visit the Igreja do Bonfim, just a seven-minute walk away, before jumping on the metro to visit the Ribeira district, with its charming, narrow streets – the journey over there will take less than ten minutes.

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....
