It’s very hard to walk around central Porto without running into some sort of beautiful landmark. This is especially true of the Bolhão neighbourhood, with this apartment just a few minutes’ walk from the striking tiled facade of the Capela das Almas, the town hall, and Santíssima Trindade Church. Ornate and elegant, this home truly does echo the characteristics of this majestic city. In a traditional apartment block, this home is a perfect example of effortless Portuguese style. Stepping inside to the bright and airy living space, the high-quality wooden floors offer a traditional feel. This chimes well with other typical features such as the French windows opening up to wrought-iron balconettes. You’ll certainly need to perch at the railings with a glass of douro or a port to really feel like a local. Wander through to the bedroom, where you’ll find yet more French windows opening out to the street views. Understated and minimalist furniture all in white creates a modern feel against elements of a more historic backdrop. It’s the same story in the kitchen too, where you’ll love preparing meals in matte white surroundings – unless of course you’re out dining at one of many fine restaurants and wine... bars nearby.

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,...
