Experience all the charm that Porto has to offer with a stay at this elegant and cosy duplex apartment situated right in the heart of the city. You’ll be able to walk to the nearby historic sights of the Old Town, as well as taking advantage of the many fantastic restaurants and entertainment options, all within easy walking distance. This pad is an ideal base for a couple, or a solo traveller, wanting to make the most out of their city break. The place will welcome you with a warm ambience and plenty of light streaming in through the huge windows. We love the minimalist elegance of the décor and the unique details, such as the high ceilings and wooden beams. Downstairs you’ll find a large living space with a comfy sofa inviting you to kick back and relax after a long day of exploring. Get inspired to create quick and delicious meals in the well-equipped kitchen and share them with your loved one at the dining table, which can also serve as a laptop-friendly workspace should you need to catch up on some virtual duties during your stay. Head upstairs to find the charming bedroom, with a soft bed and... mellow tones, carrying the promise of restful sleep. From up here you can also access the terrace, which is a really great addition to this apartment. Ideal for welcoming a new day with a cup of freshly brewed coffee or for admiring city sunsets with a glass of wine, we’ve no doubt you’ll enjoy this outdoor space. When you’re ready to venture out and discover the many treasures of this beautiful city, you’ll be happy to know that most places can be easily reached on foot. Why not start with the colourful Bolhão Market located just around the corner before exploring the Old Town or taking the fifteen-minute walk down to the harbour.
