Overlooking the Duoro River, this sleek, modern apartment sits just outside Porto. It’s a brand new apartment with a slick, minimalist interior and a big terrace overlooking the river. Shaded from the heat of the day and furnished with sofas and armchairs, the terrace is the perfect spot for a cold drink and a good book, watching the boats drift down the Duoro. Crisp white walls let the view take pride of place in the living room, where glass sliding doors can blend the terrace with the comfy seating inside. There’s dining for the whole group in here too, complementing the dine-in kitchen next door. For days in the city, hop in the car and be in the heart of Porto in ten minutes. From here, you can take a cruise down the Duoro River, explore the old wine warehouses and discover the city’s ancient cathedrals and churches in the old town.

Local guide
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....
