Dreaming of days spent sampling Porto's local wine offerings in the blissful Portuguese sunshine? This spot has you covered. Located in the heart of the city, you'll be within easy reach of Porto's best eateries, wine cellars, museums and majestic tiled architecture. Meanwhile, the studio space you'll call home presents you with a comfortable base from which you can kick back and relax between cultural excursions and nights out on the town. While the apartment is laid-out as one room, rest assured the kitchenette area feels very much separate from where you'll sleep. And with Scandi-style designs, a serene aesthetic complements the abundant natural daylight perfectly. So what are you waiting for? Click play on your holiday playlist, and picture yourself eating pastel de natas for breakfast here on your next trip to Porto.
