Sitting just a six-minute walk from the Dragão Arena – home to FC Porto – this comfortable apartment scores big when it comes to locale and style. Our favourite feature is its large private balcony overlooking the nearby stadium – the perfect spot to enjoy sunny alfresco breakfasts and celebratory sundowners as you listen to the crowds cheering on the home team. Inside, the decor is contemporary and pared-back, with a calming neutral palette that immediately makes you feel at ease. Whether you’re kicking back on the plump sofa after a day of exploring or gathering at the dining table for an at-home feast, this sociable living area is made for spending time together. With a pair of bedrooms inviting a restful night’s sleep, as well as sleek bathrooms to get any day off on the right foot, you’ve got everything you need for a relaxing stay. Outside of your home, you’ve got Dragão Arena close by for sports entertainment aplenty, while a fourteen-minute Metro ride will take you to the beautiful blue and white tiled Chapel of Souls. You’re also a six-minute walk from Parque de São Roque, a five-minute stroll from Palacete Ramos Pinto,...

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....
