Modern, bright and ideally located to make the most out of Porto’s historic sights, this comfortable apartment is an ideal base for couples or solo travellers looking for a carefree city stay. With its wood floors, sparkling white walls and pared-back contemporary decor, there’s an immediate feeling of warmth and welcome here that will make you feel right at home. We love the ample natural light that pours in through the French windows. Perch by their Juliet balconies with your morning coffee or evening sundowner, then sit down to a celebratory meal at the dining space when you’re not out sampling the local food scene. With an inviting bed that beckons a dreamy night’s sleep, as well as a beautifully tiled bathroom to get your days started on a pampered foot, you’ve got everything you need for a relaxing time. When it comes to sightseeing, you’re perfectly placed to see countless points of cultural interest, including the Livraria Lello bookstore (an eight-minute walk), the Igreja do Carmo (also an eight-minute walk), the Clérigos Tower (a nine-minute walk) and Porto Cathedral (a fifteen-minute walk) among many others.
