This holiday home is brilliantly set up for a couple who want a getaway to the charming city of Porto. The minimalist style ensures a soothing atmosphere where you can get into the holiday spirit – all you need to do is remember your favourite sunglasses. You'll love starting your morning with a fresh coffee from the Nespresso machine outside on the terrace, as you plan your itinerary for the day, We also recommend this spot for a little port tasting session in the evening – it is the city's signature drink, after all. When you're ready to head out, you'll find yourself in the Bonfim neighbourhood, an area with a youthful vibe that retains much of its local character. Check out the Igreja do Bonfim, just a seven-minute walk away, before hopping on the metro to visit the Ribeira district, with its winding cobbled streets – the journey 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....
