Are you dreaming of a holiday home with lovely river views? Well, dream no more – this apartment in desirable Ribeira has beautiful river vistas from its living room and Juliet balcony (one of two) – enjoy the scenery with a glass of Port. You can see over the river to the Vila Nova de Gaia riverfront area, too – we’re nuts about the outlook here. Housed in a building dating from the 18th century – it's classed as part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. It has been completely renovated inside, creating a modern, comfortable home. Later, get ready in the stylish bathroom for an evening out in Ribeira. Down the neighbourhood's narrow, cobbled streets, you'll find cosy bars and eateries serving classic Portuguese cuisine. After dinner, take a stroll over to the iconic D. Luís Bridge, a short walk away and take some atmospheric nighttime shots.
