Should you want to sample the city’s gastronomic scene, there is no shortage of restaurants on the doorstep. Inside the home, it’s simple yet well-appointed and quiet – thanks to the soundproof windows. Each bedroom is comfortable, and though the third does lack some homely touches, it’s still a pleasant enough space to get some shut-eye at the end of a busy day.

Set within a quiet corner of picturesque Ribeira, with Porto's must-see sights within walking distance, this apartment's location is hard to beat. Take your pick from Praça da Ribeira Square, the neoclassical Bolsa Palace or Douro River – it's all just a short stroll away. Back home, the courtyard garden is a nice touch for morning coffees, even though there's not much of a view. However, the Juliet balcony windows overlooking Porto's rooftops from the living room and main bedroom make up for that.

Centrally located to give you access to all of Porto’s historic sights, this bright apartment is an ideal base for those looking to make the most out of the city in comfort. 
 
Laid out around a beautiful central terrace, floor-to-ceiling windows allow ample natural light to shine through, giving you endless sunshine, inside and out. Curated in a contemporary style, the decor is understated yet thoughtfully brought together to make the most out of this sparkling space. We love the main bedroom’s French doors that lead out onto the sunny terrace – the ideal spot for alfresco breakfasts and celebratory sundowners – as well as the second bedroom’s large windows that give way to a stone-walled courtyard dotted with leafy plants. 
 
Factor in the Porto-inspired art on the walls as well as the sleek en-suites, and you’ve got everything you need for a relaxing stay. 
 
Outside of your home, you’ve got plenty to see and do within easy walking distance, including Porto Cathedral (thirteen minutes), Livraria Lello (fifteen minutes), Rua Santa Catarina (seven minutes) and the waterfront Cais da Ribeira (eighteen minutes). 


Playful Light

Situated in the heart of Downtown Porto, this apartment places you within easy walking distance of the city's top highlights. Visit the Church of Saint Ildefonso, sample local produce at the Mercado do Bolhão, or head to the Douro River for a boat trip. Inside, it's a smart, functional space for your group to spread out, and there's a sofa bed for a fifth guest. The kitchen is compact yet fully equipped for home-cooked dinners, while the enclosed balcony is a nice place to toast the day's end. Just note that you'll need to climb stairs to reach the entrance of this home. 

Porto Spice

Guests rave about the location of this Porto apartment, and it’s easy to see why. Set in a quiet corner of Ribeira, the Douro River, Praça da Ribeira Square, and neoclassical Bolsa Palace are all just a short stroll away. It’s worth noting if six guests share, two of you will have to make do with a double sofa bed in the living space. Not ideal for some, but it could work great for family sharing. The small inner courtyard is a nice touch for sundowners, and there’s plenty of space to spill out around the dining table for lazy breakfasts of pastel de natas picked up from the nearby bakeries.

Breakfast Included

This chic and charming apartment is located on Rua de Santa Catarina, Porto’s main shopping street. When you’re not splashing the cash, you’ll be perfectly placed to admire the rest of Porto’s key sights, including the Chapel of Souls, which is just across the road. The apartment is pretty and peaceful, with enough room for you to spread out and relax – it’s a real home from home. We love that there’s a decent-sized kitchen and dining table, which makes staying in for meals easy – though you’ll have plenty of local restaurants nearby too.

Stylishly minimalist and beautifully bright, this apartment in Porto’s Bolhão neighbourhood is the perfect base for those looking to be within easy walking distance of the city’s most historic sights, all while enjoying a comfortable stay. 
 
From its glossy wood floors to its cool exposed stone walls, there’s a feeling of traditional charm here combined with modern comforts and contemporary decor. Make yourself comfortable on the sofa with a glass of Portuguese wine, or better yet, open up the French doors to perch by the Juliet balconies while indulging in some people-watching along your scenic street. The window-side table beckons sociable breakfasts over fresh coffee and pastéis de nata, as well intimate dinners made with fresh produce from the Mercado do Bolhão, a three-minute walk away. 
 
Factor in the two comfortable bedrooms and the pair of sleek bathrooms boasting rainfall showers and you’ve got everything you need for a relaxing, carefree stay. 
 
When it comes to sightseeing nearby, you’ve got plenty from which to choose, including the blue and white tiled Chapel of Souls (a four-minute walk), the ornate Livraria Lello bookshop (a thirteen-minute walk), Porto Cathedral (a fourteen-minute walk) and bustling Cais da Ribeira (a twenty-minute walk). 


Sun Stones

Prepare to be dazzled by this top-floor apartment perched right in the heart of Porto's old quarter. This place offers up astonishing views of the historic Baixa district - and an impressive outdoor terrace to soak it all up.

Lose yourself to the views of the quarter's ancient squires, rising up from a higgledy-piggledy maze of terracotta rooftops. And if you're impressed with it now, just think how amazing it looks at night as Porto's lights flicker on.

If you can bear to part your gaze from the terrace, you'll discover this home delivers the goods on the inside too. Spread out over two floors and glowing from top-to-toe in crisp white, midcentury-inspired furniture and statement lighting is all that's needed to add warmth and style here. 

Climb the stairs to discover three pristine and light-filled bedrooms – and thanks to its top-floor setting and room-darkening shutters, you'll be sure to bank a peaceful night's sleep here.

Away from this luxurious apartment, you'll find all of Porto's hotspots close by, including Bolhão Market, Santa Catarina Street, and Aliados Avenue with a mere seven-minute stroll. Or jump on the metro just three minutes from your door to discover other corners of the city. Now, how's that for a location?

With its light and airy ambience, this elegant apartment welcomes you to enjoy the atmospheric beauty of Porto. 

Just a minute’s walk from the historic city centre, this is the kind of space that truly reflects the timeless charm of its location. Set across two floors and bathed in natural light, there’s a refreshing simplicity to this home. From the gentle tones and textures to the minimal furnishings (crafted by young Portuguese designers and artists), every detail feels considered and intentional. So whether you’re savouring a quiet morning on the little balcony or enjoying a delicious candlelit dinner, it’s easy to settle into the relaxed rhythm of coastal living. 

Stepping outside, you’ll find the city’s main attractions are all within walking distance. Gilded days can be spent strolling the medieval cobbled streets of Ribeira (just a ten-minute walk away), sampling the local cuisine in traditional tavernas and admiring the sun-dappled plazas. Wherever you find yourself, this home provides a constant sense of sanctuary – a place to unwind and experience the magic of Porto.

Step-Free Access

Situated in Santo Ildefonso – this stylish downtown apartment is a great find. Admire the Igreja de Santo Ildefonso – and 18th-century, twin-towered church clad in beautiful blue-and-white azulejos, a nine-minute stroll away, while Avenida dos Aliados, a hub for banking and transport, is six minutes on foot. Have an amble around the district marvelling at the UNESCO-listed eighteenth-century buildings, or head to Porto Cathedral, a twelve-minute saunter. For fresh produce, Mercado do Bolhão is a mere two-minute wander – pick up some local delicacies to take back to this home. Much like Porto itself, this abode blends the historic with modern design for a stay that pops. It's not the street art or hand-painted tiles you might expect of a Portuguese apartment. Instead, this home adheres to the Scandi-chic minimalist vibe, offering a sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of the city's streets. White walls in the open-plan living room bounce with sunlight, and the chaise sofa is ideal for movie nights, while each of the bedrooms continues the clean theme, with a splash of teal on the headboards. Among the minimalist stylings, groups will have plenty of homely space to hang out in – we love the monochrome kitchen and its big dining table for family dinners and a few glasses of Port.

Stop The Clocks

Smart TV

This compact yet well-considered apartment in the heart of Porto is an ideal place to relax and recharge after a day of sightseeing. Inside, neutral tones combine to create a feeling of calm. Make yourself at home with an espresso on the comfy sofa before tucking into a tasty pastry on your private balcony.

When you’re ready to head out, begin with a trip to São Bento Station, famous for its blue-and-white tiles depicting scenes of Portuguese history – it’s only 300 metres away. Pick up a new coffee table book in the emblematic Livraria Lello then enjoy views of the Dom Luís Bridge from a cafe on the bustling Cais da Ribeira. If all that exploring has worked up an appetite, treat yourself to a francesinha (Portugal’s answer to the croque-monsieur) in a nearby eatery.

This attractive apartment is an ideal base for a refined visit to Porto. It’s just 300 metres from São Bento metro station, and a ten-minute walk to Trindade station, so getting around is easy as can be. And when you’re not out seeing the sights, there’s plenty to make you happy at your home-from-home. We love the terrace, where you can soak up the sun, stretched out on a lounger. The decor inside is simple but pretty, and you’ll have all the amenities you need for a comfortable stay.

Parking On Street

Located in Praça dos Poveiros, this bright apartment puts you in a prime position to explore Porto’s most historic and cultural sights, all while enjoying a wonderfully comfortable stay. 
 
Stepping into the beautifully sunny open-plan living area, you’ll immediately be struck by the elegant corniced ceilings, hardwood floors and dazzling amount of natural light pouring in through the paned, arched French doors. Open these up to let the breeze drift through the space while you enjoy breakfast at the dining table, or perch by their Juliet balconies with a glass of Portuguese wine. 
 
The two bedrooms boast equally beautiful French doors that give way to views over the nearby Jardim Marques de Oliveira (a one-minute walk away), as well as inviting beds that wait to drift you into a peaceful night’s slumber. 
 
And when it comes to sightseeing, you’ve got plenty from which to choose within easy walking distance – the Igreja de Santo Ildefonso is a three-minute walk, Porto Cathedral is a ten-minute stroll and bustling, waterfront Cais da Ribeira is fifteen minutes away on foot. 


The Glass Park

Just seconds away from Bolhão Market, this central Porto home is perfect for a pair of city explorers who like to be in the heart of the city. The interior has style to spare, and you'll find all you need for extended stays thanks to the well-equipped kitchen and cosy living space. At capacity, one guest will be on the sofa bed here, and you'll be climbing stairs to reach the entrance. A short stroll in any direction will take you to hip bars and local eateries, while the nearby Aliados Metro Station will connect you to the River Douro and the rest of the city.

Rua da Alegria is only a few minutes away from the shopping street of Santa Catarina and within walking distance to the riverside. But the central location doesn't mean that Poet's Swing is noisy – tucked away on a quiet street, it offers a relaxing atmosphere with beautifully refracting light from the tall windows. Spending time here is a pleasant experience, highlighted by the sleek modern furniture. There aren't many entertainment options in this home, but if you're here to explore the city, then you'll love coming back to this luminous apartment.

Make yourself at home in this stunning top-floor apartment situated in the heart of Porto. The first thing you'll notice is that your hosts have taken great care to preserve the original nineteenth-century features of this home while adding sophistication and style into the mix. Alongside stone walls, exposed timber frames and original wood flooring, you'll encounter bold printed wallpaper, mid-century furniture and plenty of gold accents to add a touch of luxury.

With its elevated top-floor position and sky-high vaulted ceiling, every corner of this city-centre flat is illuminated by natural light – a real rarity in these older buildings. We loved the covered balcony, where we could imagine nothing better than sitting in the wicker throne, a glass of local wine in hand, as the sound of live music drifts up from the streets below. Despite the central location, the apartment is calm and tranquil, making it perfect for families with children – especially when you add the second bunk room into the mix.

Down at street level, the neighbourhood has everything you could need, including traditional restaurants, cool cafes and well-stocked supermarkets. Meanwhile, Porto's main sights are within easy walking distance, with the riverfront promenade at Cais da Ribeira and the Neoclassical Palácio da Bolsa both a twenty-minute walk away.


Lofty Expectations

Bright and welcoming, this studio apartment is an ideal base for two in Porto. You’ll be in the heart of the city, just a five-minute walk from Coliseu do Porto and within easy reach of Clerigos Tower. For further-afield sights, you need only walk 400 metres to Bolhão Station to hop on the metro. The apartment is petite but charming, with a beautiful carved ceiling that draws the eye. The kitchen facilities are limited, but you’ll have your pick of Porto’s best restaurants and bars on your doorstep. 

Iris & Brick

Poet's Hideout is an elegant split-level home in the tourist centre of Porto – but one of the things we love most about it is that it's still peaceful and quiet. The host has invested a lot of effort and brainpower to make the original architectural features work with modern furniture, and the end result is stunning. This home is closer to an aparthotel than a characterful private residence, but that does come with its perks, like daily cleaning and breakfast, which are included in your stay.

Welcome Hamper

Sitting on the top floor of a building in downtown Porto, this apartment is ideal for anybody looking for somewhere special to stay in the city. The show-stopping feature has to be the home's terrace, which has plenty of seating and peaceful rooftop views.

However, step into the apartment through the large glass door and you'll find a stylish interior as well. White walls and wooden floors are a classy combination, while the mid-century furnishings and floating staircase are sure to draw a few compliments. Add to this a large mezzanine bedroom with another balcony and you're sure to fall head over heels for this address.

When you're ready to head and explore, you'll find plenty of cafes and restaurants in the surrounding neighbourhood, as well as the blue-tiled Chapel of the Souls four minutes' walk away. The centre of the city isn't too far away, either — you can be outside Porto Cathedral in just over a quarter of an hour on foot.



Downtown Girl

Perfect for couples, this apartment is ideally located right at the heart of Porto. All of the city’s key attractions and top sights are within easy reach, and for those that are slightly further afield, you need only hop on the metro – Bolhão station is seven minutes away on foot. Clérigos Tower is eight minutes away on foot, and Livraria Lello – one of the most beautiful bookshops in the world – is just eleven minutes away. 

The apartment is bright and attractive, with quirky features like a glass wall separating the living space from the bedroom. If you’re anything like us, you’ll begin and end each day on the balcony. Watch the city below come to life over coffee and pastries, and round off the days with a sunset glass of wine. 


Sunrise in the City

This modern apartment is in the middle of Porto, an easy walk from the Douro River where you’ll find the famous wine warehouses and day cruises. The streets around this place are packed with restaurants and bars, yet the living room faces an internal courtyard for a bit of peace. While there’s nothing particularly unique about the design, the open living area is a comfy spot to unwind with a full kitchen for meals at home. The main bedroom leads out to a private balcony which is great for a breath of fresh air, despite the lack of view. 

The Warmth of Your Smile

This modern pad in the heart of Bolhão offers everything needed for a fuss-free getaway to Porto. It’s ideal for reaching all the city’s sights, including the Torre dos Clérigos, Mercado do Bolhão and Avenida dos Aliados. Inside, you'll find a bright and stylish space, where you can enjoy morning coffees on the balcony and homemade suppers together around the dining table. Though do keep in mind that one person will be sleeping on a sofa bed at full capacity and you'll need to climb an external staircase to reach the entrance of the home. 

Bolhão Artistic

Set in the heart of Porto, this apartment provides easy access to the historical marvels dotting the city – and when you want to travel further afield, the closest metro is a mere ten-minute walk. So, while this fuss-free home may not be filled with luxurious finishes, it’s all about the location for us. It’s a comfortable space for four people, just bear in mind that the second bedroom is an interior room, so lacks natural light. That said, we think this makes it a perfect spot for a restful, undisturbed sleep.

Porto's Heritage Heart

Bright and beautiful, this home’s warming wood details make it a unique place to base yourself in Porto. Honey-hued, the exposed beams add character and charm to the elegant modern space and recall this building’s 19th century past. The mezzanine split is well-executed, ensuring both floors benefit from the natural light, while the furniture creates plenty of opportunities to sit down, relax or work. We love the cosy reading chair for lazy afternoons and the large wooden dining table for meals shared at home. When it’s time to explore, you’ll be absolutely central, steps from the iconic Aliados Avenue. Walk two minutes to Trindade Church and three minutes from Mercado do Bolhão, an old traditional market. Plus, for connecting to other parts of the city, the Aliados metro station is just three minutes away. 

Aegean

This functional studio puts you in a prime position to explore the best of Porto’s sights. Within easy reach of Livraria Lello, Porto Cathedral and Rua das Flores, you’ve got plenty in the way of history, culture and entertainment on your doorstep. The pocket-sized nature of this pad means the kitchenette is only suitable for light bites, but a private balcony is a nice touch – perfect for enjoying a glass of Portuguese wine after a busy day of exploring. 


Once Upon a Stroll

Giving guests an authentic experience in Porto, this spot puts you within walking distance of the city centre, its shops and restaurants. While the space is set up as a studio, it offers plenty of room for a couple or solo traveller to feel comfortable relaxing here after a day's adventures. It's worth noting that, as the lift is undergoing renovations (it's actually one of the first lifts to be installed in Porto), you'll need to be ok with climbing three flights of stairs to access the apartment. On the plus side, the host can help you arrange a variety of trips and experiences. Why not book a Port wine tasting? 


The Panda's Roar

This apartment in the centre of Porto puts you within striking distance of the banks of the Douro River, the cathedral and the endless bars and restaurants of the historic old quarter. In just ten minutes you can be at the riverside on foot, where the old wine warehouses of the city cluster. Or stick to the immediate streets to discover baroque churches, traditional restaurants and lively bars.

Inside, it feels as though this place has been decorated with care and attention to every detail. Velvet, mid-century sofas and chairs brighten up the living room, which is already illuminated by natural light from long windows. Scalloped chairs are a classy touch to the dining table. Throw open the windows to make a Juliet-style balcony, and watch the bustle of the street below. What’s more, you can catch the sunset over the rooftops from this spot. 

Bird In The Hand

Housed in a 19th-century building and sitting directly opposite the historic Mercado do Bolhão, this bright apartment not only offers comfort in spades but also provides a wonderfully central base from which to explore the city. 
 
Laid out like a large loft, this sunny, open space feels cooly minimalist with its dazzling white walls, wood floors and a sprinkling of soft colours in its furnishings and art. We love the collage of prints beside the dining table that beckons sociable breakfasts over fresh coffee and pastéis de nata, as well as celebratory dinners when you’re not out sampling the local food scene. 
 
The seating area to the back of the room is the perfect spot to perch with a good book for some downtime, while the desk space here, too, invites you to catch up on work if needed. The covered balcony area brings the outdoors in with its walls of glass, while the pared-back bedrooms offer the ideal canvases for a dreamy night’s sleep. Factor in the sleek bathroom with its rainfall shower, and you’ve got everything you need for a carefree stay. 
 
When it comes to sightseeing nearby, you’ve got plenty from which to choose. Visit the 18th-century Igreja de Santo Ildefonso (a six-minute walk), admire the ornate Livraria Lello bookstore (a thirteen-minute walk) and soak up some history at Porto Cathedral (also a thirteen-minute walk). With Clérigos Tower a fourteen-minute stroll and Cais da Ribeira walkable in eighteen, you’ve got easy access to the best the city has to offer. 


Capture the Colour

Calling all foodies – this charming flat in Bolhão is just steps away from some of Porto's most delicious restaurants and cafes. Situated in Praça dos Poveiros, this is the local's go-to gathering place for good food, free-flowing drinks and laughter-packed conversations. There's no shortage of spots here to wine and dine the night away, but that's not the only reason we love this location. You're close to almost everything – stroll three minutes and visit the blue-tiled Igreja de Santo Ildefonso, wander ten to reach Avenida dos Aliados or head down to the riverfront and walk along the Ribeira, thirteen minutes away.

The apartment itself is as cosy as can be. We're swooning over the period features – traditional shuttered windows, high ceilings and crown moulding are just a few of our favourite details. A quaint Juliet balcony overlooks the hustle and bustle below – the perfect spot for a morning coffee – while the comfy sofa beckons after a long day on your feet. If you need to work from home, you can even set up shop at the dining table as the sunlight streams into the living area. While we wouldn't suggest rustling up a feast in the kitchen, it's perfectly suited to lighter bites – and besides, with so many mouth-watering eateries on your doorstep, we doubt you'll get up to much cooking.

Honey Hued Moments

Sitting in a popular district near the Santa Catarina shopping street, this apartment sets you up for a fuss-free stay in the heart of Porto. You'll be within easy walking distance of the city's top attractions and benefit from a charming balcony upon your return home from busy days spent sightseeing. The open kitchen is also well-equipped for preparing light bites, just note there's no oven here. You'll also find a sofa bed in the living area, ideal for those travelling with younger families. However, keep in mind that you'll need to climb stairs to reach the entrance of this first-floor apartment. 

Porto's Gem

Located right by the shopping street of Santa Catarina, Poet's Corner is a peaceful retreat that is the tourist heart of Porto. The beauty and feeling in this home come from the original stone walls and wooden features that will remind you of the building's rich history, further highlighted by the modern furniture and high ceilings. There's no washing machine in this home, but if you're happy with that, then this is a fantastic spot to spend a few days. Plus, breakfast is included with your stay, which we can definitely get behind. 

Poet's Corner

Garden

Architecturally beautiful, this bright downtown apartment is a welcome place to relax after a busy day exploring the beauty of Porto. The minimalist design has created a modern space which is homely and practical, all wrapped up in one. Descending down the stairs into your living space, you’re met with white walls and feature wood. Share a morning cuppa with your loved one, seated at your dining table or settled down into your deep sofa bed, as you plan everything you want to see in this magical city.

With a sleek, modern kitchen, if you’re not enjoying the local cuisine in one of the many restaurants on your doorstep, you can rustle up something delicious to be enjoyed at home – using produce picked up from nearby Bolhão Market, of course. Your private garden may be the little slice of peace you need to end the day, all you need is a bottle of port to enjoy a quiet evening underneath the stars. 

Situated in the heart of the city, indulge in breakfast locally, following the scent of those freshly baked pastries, before meandering through the streets, absorbing the history and culture. Offering the best of both worlds, a central location and a homely place to rest your head, you’re sure to have a wonderful stay. 

Porto on My Mind

Tucked right in the heart of Bolhão, we think that this sleek apartment is ideal for almost any kind of traveller, be it a group of friends looking to uncover the hidden gems of Portugal's second city, a family city break, or simply a romantic stay for a couple.

Minimal, contemporary, and characterised by classic mouldings and coastal accents, this inviting apartment to make memories. Start the day with a pastel de nata in the warm sunroom before setting off on your explorations. Within a short walk, you'll find yourself at some of Porto's most renowned highlights. The Bolhão market is a must-visit – a bustling local hub full of wonderfully fresh produce and regional specialities – the perfect place to pick up your ingredients for a special dinner in your elegant dining room. Though of course, if you’re not in the mood to cook, you'll also be spoilt for choice when it comes to the selection of restaurants serving up authentic dishes. Sample some local stews, then head to Rem Koolhaas’ Casa da Música for a memorable night of entertainment.

A Bolhão Breeze

Sitting on a vibrant street just a stone’s throw from Porto’s famous Rua de Santa Catarina, this apartment offers a central stay from which to explore the city’s best sights. Boasting a pair of balconies and offering plenty of natural light inside, it invites you to make the most of the Portuguese sun. The kitchenette is compact and at full capacity, two guests will need to share the sofa bed in the living area. But for a practical base that’s at the heart of the action, this Porto pad delivers. 


Moon in the Sky

Right in the heart of Porto, this stylish apartment offers a calm and comfortable base to explore the city. Located along bustling Rua de Santa Catarina, lined with designer boutiques, hidden wine bars, restaurants and theatres, including the historic São João National Theater (a three-minute walk away). 

Back home, we love how the original features combine with decorative details to make for a warm and welcoming living space to relax – from the white shutters and stone walls to the colourful furnishings and vibrant artwork. And, you've got an equally stylish bedroom with striking scatter cushions, artistic lighting and playful decor that means you'll have no trouble getting a peaceful night's sleep. 

Come morning, get up and at it with a hearty breakfast prepared in the sleek, marble kitchen and enjoyed at the modern dining table. Hatch out a plan for the day and set off for the cultural sights. You're a thirteen-minute walk from Bolsa Palace and just an eight-minute stroll to the striking Porto Cathedral. 

Catarina's

Sleek and modern, this apartment in Bolhão is a great choice for those in search of a well-connected pad. It's within easy walking distance of Torre dos Clérigos and Avenida dos Aliados, while you'll be able to pick up fresh produce from Mercado do Bolhão right around the corner. The kitchen is fully equipped for preparing meals, while the balcony serves as a charming spot to enjoy evening sundowners. At capacity, one person will be sleeping on a sofa bed in the living area but there's plenty of room for three people to spread out and relax. It's also worth noting that you'll need to climb an external staircase to reach the entrance of the home. 

Bolhão Industrial

Heated Towel Rail

Ceiling Fans

With sweeping views over Porto’s rooftops, you can see why this fuss-free studio apartment caught our eye. It’s worth noting there’s no living space to speak of here other than the dining table for two and a small armchair. The kitchen is also pocket-sized, but the breakfast delivery service and coffee pod machine for morning brews will be handy. Location-wise, the city's iconic Bolhão Market, authentic bistros, and independent boutiques are all within walking distance. Need to be somewhere fast? The train station is just around the corner.

 Tripeiros Soul

For foodies visiting Porto, the location doesn’t get much better than this. It’s a two-minute walk from the restaurant and shop-lined Rua Santa Catarina and the streets around the apartment are filled with spots serving local Portuguese cuisine. It’s also just a four-minute walk to Mercado do Bolhão with its fresh produce stalls galore. Stock up and head back to your haven in the city centre.

A fully-equipped kitchen can turn that fresh veg into a hearty family feast in no time and dining is a delight in the sunny spot. The living room is sleek and minimalist with two slate-grey sectionals providing plenty of room for everyone. From here, you can admire the rooftop view out the window. A nice touch is the vintage TV cabinet, which hides a record player to set the right ambience. Wooden floors and cornicing like icing on a cake in the bedrooms feel distinctly classic Porto. 

Two Tribes

Comfortable and convenient, this apartment lies in the centre of Porto, near many of the city's top tourist attractions. From here, you can stroll down to the Douro River for a boat cruise, discover hidden wine bars in the Ribeira district, or tick off the major sights with a light walk to Sé do Porto. Inside, the home is modern and well-equipped for short stays. While the kitchen isn't the biggest, it offers everything needed for home-cooked meals. The enclosed terrace and additional smaller balcony are an added bonus too. There's also a double sofa bed for small groups – although we'd recommend a maximum of two guests.
