Just north of Porto’s historic old town, where ornate architecture overwhelms your senses in the most delightful way, this apartment offers a more relaxed and modern way of life. Although it’s just a nine-minute walk from the gilded ceilings of the Livraria Lello and the chiming bells of Clérigos church, this home lets you savour rare moments of tranquility and zen in this vibrant city. The understated interiors of this duplex apartment feel more Scandi than Portuguese, with an angular sofa, soft marl grey rug, and the gentle tones of pastel art on the walls. With white walls and pale wooden floors to elongate the space, your lounge is a perfectly airy spot for reclining with a bottle of Duoro following an afternoon of sightseeing. But if the sun's still shining, why not take your glass to the alfresco dining table on your private balconette? Or better still, down to the resident’s garden where a lush lawn awaits. Now, we did say that this home would help you relax – but your host goes the extra mile to make you feel pampered. With the generous offer of grocery deliveries, activity planning, and even a knock on your door every morning with a fresh breakfast in tow, they really know how to treat their guests.
