If sweeping vistas of the Douro River sound like your cup of tea, you'll love this stylish home. Positioned in Porto's historic centre, it's walkable to the main sights and nestled between two gloriously green spaces, the Jardim da Cordoaria and Jardim das Virtudes – the latter is a local favourite for its beautiful city views. With plenty of trendy dining and drinking options nearby, it provides the perfect base for duos and solo travellers seeking an authentic slice of the action. From the outset, this home charms with its pastel-hued Pombaline facade. Positioned up high on the second floor, it promises tranquillity despite its lively surroundings. Stylish and functional, the open-plan interior is reminiscent of Japanese design, exuding an ambience of calm with its timber-clad decor and uncluttered aesthetic. There's everything here for a want-for-nothing stay, including a contemporary kitchen and a nifty breakfast bar-come-workspace. Without a doubt, the piece de resistance is the outdoor space. After a restful slumber, step outside the floor-to-ceiling French doors and onto the balcony. Furnished with deck chairs and overlooking the river and the left bank's terracotta-speckled slopes, it offers a lovely spot for sipping your morning coffee in the sunshine.
