Infused with natural light and dressed in a beautiful contemporary style, this modern apartment is a serene spot to rest your head in the heart of Porto. We love the wood tones peppered throughout, adding a touch of rustic appeal and tying the whole space together. Artwork lines the walls, reminding you of the places you’ve yet to explore in this opulent city. If you feel like a quiet night in, the sleek kitchen is more than a match for your culinary skills, so you can rustle up a delicious dinner and settle down with your loved one to plan your Portuguese adventure over good food and a bottle of wine. When you head out to explore, locally, we’d recommend a trip to Mercado do Bolhão, the last traditional market of Porto, or head to Rua de Santa Catarina for a spot of retail therapy and the chance to sample some delightful local cuisine.

Home truths
Parking in Porto can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to the easily accessible public transport where possible – though we think the best way to see the city is on foot
This home is spread over two floors, with stairs to access the bedroom on the mezzanine area – it may not be suitable for those with limited mobility
The entrance to this home is shared with the building's other residents
This home is in a central spot, so noise is to be expected
Please respect the neighbours and keep noise to a minimum between 10pm and 8am

Local guide
About Miragaia
Situated to the west of the city centre, and leading down to the Douro river, Miragaia is a jumble of medieval streets. Like Ribeira, it has brightly coloured buildings and sweeping views over the water. But unlike the city’s main riverside hub, Miragaia is tucked away from the usual tourist trails. In the evenings its restaurant and bar scene thrives, but it’s generally calmer area, with a strong local population...
