Modern, bright and wonderfully comfortable, this home in Porto’s Lapa neighbourhood is an ideal base for those looking for a calm stay within easy reach of the city’s main sights. Sitting right across from Praça da República and its palm-fringed Jardim de Teófilo Braga, you can take in views of the square from your home’s luminous living room, or better yet from the bedroom’s balcony over a cup of morning coffee. The open-plan living area’s dining table beckons breakfasts over fresh pastéis de nata as well as cosy dinners as the breeze flows through the French doors, while the chic wooden desk here provides the ideal spot to catch up on work (if you really have to). When it comes to sightseeing, ask your host to organise a city tour or take a to the streets yourself for afternoons of exploring. You’re a ten-minute walk from the beautiful Igreja do Carmo, a twenty-minute stroll from Porto Cathedral, while bustling Cais da Ribeira – right on the Douro River – is thirty minutes away on foot.
