A bright, funky, and modern holiday apartment in a great central location close to many of the best bits of the lively city of Porto – what more could you wish for? We love the open feeling spaces and clean lines of this home, and how it manages to exude its own unique character despite its streamlined, contemporary aesthetic. Enjoy spending time together here, perhaps preparing something delicious to eat in the simple yet well-equipped kitchen, before stepping out onto the furnished terrace to enjoy it under the (almost) guaranteed Portuguese sunshine. Here, you'll find yourself within a stone's throw of all of the wonderful things that have seen Porto catapulted through the ranks in recent years to become one of the most popular destinations in Europe. This includes a huge selection of restaurants serving up both traditional Portuguese as well as international cuisine, great shopping opportunities, and a host of art galleries and museums. This home is also located just around 50 metres from metro line, so you can be almost anyway within this vibrant city quickly and easily.

Local guide
About Bonfim
Bonfim is a neighbourhood where you can really blend in and live like a local. It’s not at all overrun by tourists. It was formerly an industrial area, and in parts the architecture still bears traces of this. There’s a real mix of local businesses as well as trendy cafes and restaurants — a good fit for families or groups after a low-key base not too far from the centre....
