Housed in a 19th-century stone building, this compact yet wonderfully comfortable apartment offers an ideal base for those looking to make the most out of Porto’s sights and sun. Inside, exposed stone walls reflect the home’s history, with contemporary furnishings and glossy wood floors bringing it firmly into 21st-century style. Ample natural light pours in through the windows here, while the bedroom’s skylight beckons all the romance of city stargazing as you fall asleep in the comfy bed. What’s more, you’ve got access to a shared sun-drenched garden – the ideal spot to catch some rays on the loungers provided or to take in views over the city’s rooftops as you sip a celebratory sundowner. Speaking of sightseeing, there’s plenty to see and do within easy walking distance, including the ornate Livraria Lello bookshop (seventeen minutes), the Clérigos Tower (also twenty minutes), the Chapel of Souls (ten minutes) and the Igreja do Carmo (eighteenminutes).
