Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Positioned in Porto's vibrant centre, the stately district of Bolhão boasts an array of cultural gems amidst its azulejo-tiled backstreets. You'll find this home here, surrounded by hip dining and drinking venues. Here, you're within walking distance of all the main sights, including the majestic Church of Santo Ildefonso and the high-end shopping haunt of Aliados Avenue, with its impressive portfolio of neoclassical and Beaux-Art architecture. Designed by young Portuguese designers, the no-frills interior exudes style and elegance. An open-plan canvas of white walls, high ceilings and hardwood floors creates a free-flowing ambience primed for relaxation. Despite its minimalist decor, it offers all the essentials for a want-for-nothing stay, including a modern kitchen and a dedicated workspace in the beautifully equipped bedroom. We especially love the lounge, where a plush sofa and ottoman beckon you to unwind in the splendour of your surroundings. Throughout, floor-to-ceiling windows usher in floods of sunlight while offering direct access to a private balcony. After a restful slumber, spend mornings roosted here, sipping coffee in the sunshine before a day of adventure.

Local guide
About Batalha
Directly south of Bolhão and its famous market, Batalha is an inner-city area that borders on the historic centres of Baixa and Ribeira. Like a lot of Porto’s centre, it was relatively run-down until around fifteen years ago, but has since undergone a cultural revival. There’s a wide range of nearby restaurants to try out, and some famous music and theatre venues. Some parts have a calmer, more residential vibe,...
