If you want your city break to have a side of relaxation and luxury, this is the holiday home for you. This gorgeous duplex sits in a lovely spot close to the River Douro, offering beautiful views across the water. As soon as you arrive, you’ll be drawn out to the balcony, where – if you’re anything like us – you’ll tuck into breakfast each day, and round things off by watching the sunset with a glass of wine. It’s an idyllic spot. 

Inside, the apartment is just as striking. Exposed stone walls and dark wood furniture combine with floor-to-ceiling windows to stunning effect, and everything you need is close to hand. Cook local dishes in the kitchen and dine in together, opening up the balcony doors to merge the indoor and outdoor spaces for cocktail hour. 

When you want to see more of Porto, you’ll find that you’re within easy walking distance of all of the major sights and attractions. You’ll never want to leave this classy and convenient home.

Relax on your private, spacious balcony with a glass of Port when you stay at this stylish home in Porto. We love the garden views from here. Inside, lots of glazing allows light to flood in. The chic living space has warm wooden floors and mid-century style furniture. Rustle up a Porto staple, the substantial francesinha sandwich in the modern kitchen. Or there are plenty of restaurants and cafes on your doorstep if you don't fancy cooking. 

There are many attractions nearby too. Head to Livraria Lello, one of the world's most beautiful bookstores, under a fifteen-minute stroll away. Porto Cathedral and Bolhão Market are both a twenty-five-minute walk. Or, lovers of sculpture can visit the Soares dos Reis National Museum, eight minutes on foot.

The home may be petite, but the clever layout really maximises the space available.

If you need to catch up on work, or are feeling inspired to start writing your novel, there's a desk space where you can use your laptop. And, when evening rolls around, you only need to pad up a couple of steps to curl up in the comfy bed for a great night's sleep. 

From here, the baroque Clérigos Tower is just a four-minute walk away, as is the Igreja do Carmo with its tiled facade. Book lovers will be delighted that the Livraria Lello is five minutes away, and foodies are spoilt for choice with the range of restaurants and port cellars in the surrounding streets.

Sometimes a home makes such an impression on us that we’re willing to look past a few flaws, simply because the rest is worth it. Ruby Port is one such home. Honestly, the maintenance needs a bit of work, and the terraces need tidying up, but the place is just so special. From the spectacular views of the Douro River to the beautiful azulejo tiles and the stone fireplace, it has a distinct soul and Porto charm that we simply can't get enough of – it feels like the kind of place we could spend a long time in. Whether you're drinking a chilled glass of Porto wine from the spacious terrace, taking a dip in the private pool or even washing up in the shower, you'll be able to appreciate the lovely views over the water. Inside, light pours in through the patio doors, creating a bright and airy living space to relax. Full of cream furnishings and neutral tones, it's a homely apartment too. Step outside of the building and be in the heart of Porto, and yet you'll find the immediate neighbourhood is quiet and friendly. Walk to the Jardins do Palácio de Cristal and Museum Soares dos Reis in under ten minutes. Come evening, there's a dazzling array of family-run eateries and hidden bars to discover, just wander down the charming backstreets and see for yourself.

This ground-floor home is bright and elegant, each square inch used to its fullest potential to deliver a comfortable experience.

Welcome yourself into this charming apartment, equipped and designed with items created by emerging designers and artists in Portugal for the highest quality, while also supporting small business owners. Step inside to find a modern living room that radiates peace with hints of emerald.

With extremely high ceilings and roomy interiors, you'll have all the comfort you need to unwind after a long day of exploring Porto's secrets.

You will be in the heart of Porto's art district, home to amazing galleries, and boutiques owned by rising artists, with glimpses of real Portuguese life around every corner. After grabbing a couple of Pasteis de Nata, walk across the Luis I Bridge, one that offers a panoramic view of both sides of the river and enables you to see exquisite aspects of the city that you would miss from the ground. Make a trip to Livraria Lello – if you're a Harry Potter fan, you'll know that this bookstore served as an inspiration for author J.K. Rowling, who resided in Porto.


Sweetness of Joy

Patio / Terrace

Situated in the centre of Porto, this apartment is in a great spot to explore this UNESCO World Heritage city. Though the antique decor may not be to everybody’s taste, the home has everything you need for a great holiday, including a fully-equipped kitchen and little patio – perfect for doing yoga or cosying up with a book in the evening. There are many sights worth visiting within walking distance, such as the Mercado do Bolhão and Clerigos Church. Make sure to sample some Portuguese treats such as pastel de nata and Francesinha while you’re here. 

The Artist's Portrait

Between two beautiful parks – Jardim da Cordoaria and Jardim das Virtudes – and set in a pretty period building, this studio home is quite the little charmer. With high ceilings and stripped-back woodwork to its trio of Juliet balcony windows, it's full of character, and its recent refurbishment has added a big helping of modern styling and clever design. 

There's a bespoke kitchen packed with everything you'll need for cooking at home, along with a comfy sofa, a little dining area and even a desk. And while this is a studio, the addition of a sleeping platform up a few steps divides the space neatly – creating storage beneath. Step out of bed and straight into your in-room rainfall shower, before making a cup of coffee and opening up the shutters to gaze across at the park.

With wine bars and cafes on your street, you won't have to go far for a true taste of Porto, and the riverside is just a ten-minute walk.



The Shuttersmith

Bright and modern, this carefully curated studio apartment puts you in an ideal position to explore Porto’s most famous sights. 

With its marble floors, contemporary decor and large windows that let plenty of sunlight shine through, this compact yet stylish home has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Start mornings with a mug of fresh coffee on the balcony while taking in sunny rooftop views or retreat here in the evenings after a day of sightseeing for a celebratory sundowner. With a cosy sofa, an inviting bed and a sleek bathroom to boot, you’re all set for a carefree stay. 

When it comes to exploring the city from your chic base, you’ve got plenty to see and do within easy walking distance.

Porto Palms

You'll be able to see the shimmering water from your balcony right on the banks of the Douro River. Just along the quayside, you’ll find Porto’s fabulous wine museum, dedicated to the eponymous drink this city is famous for. Perhaps pick up a bottle or two and take them back to enjoy while you look out from the balcony. In the open kitchen and living room, a glass screen conveniently separates the spaces, creating a division that still allows natural light to flow through. Small porthole windows let in a little extra light and reveal the thick stone foundations of this old building. The decor is decidedly minimalist, with splashes of pop art on the walls. In the bedroom, cooling white walls and a generous queen-size bed guarantee a peaceful rest. A ten-minute walk along the river takes you to the wine bars of Ribeira and the beautiful sights of Porto’s UNESCO-protected historic centre.

Quay to My Heart

Smart TV

Make your stay in Porto a holiday to remember at this charming city-centre apartment. The bright and spacious home has everything you'll need to feel comfortable and relaxed – and with the stylish mid-century furniture and understated decor, you'll likely leave with some new interior design inspiration.

When you're not spending your downtime relaxing in front of the TV, curl up on a wicker chair in the sunroom with a good book and a pitcher of sangria by your side. Come mealtime, try your hand at Portuguese cooking and gather the group in the sleek dining area to deliver the verdict. Prefer to leave it to the professionals? There's no shortage of top-tier restaurants in the area, from seafood joints to laid-back tapas bars.

You're barely a ten-minute walk from the heart of Porto, with Livraria Lello and the famous São Bento station just a leisurely stroll away. Wind your way down to Cais da Ribeira's buzzy bar scene to sample the local drinks specialities, from vino verde to the port that gives this city its name.

Casa Estilo

Creative types will love the setting of this ultra-modern apartment set along Rua de Miguel Bombarda in the heart of the historic centre. One of the city's most iconic and artist streets, famed for its galleries, interiors stores, and urban street art, this is the place to be. 

And you won't have far to go when it's time to unearth more of the city's charms. Dive into one of the many authentic bakeries around here for those obligatory pastel de natas and coffee to go, then amble along to the beautiful Livraria Lello bookshop (a ten-minute walk away). Or, just a smidge further, the impressive Câmara Municipal do Porto (a fifteen-minute stroll) and the mighty Porto Cathedral (twenty minutes away on foot).

Back at home, the cool, marble floors, contemporary decor, and generous helping of natural daylight (thanks to those large windows), make this pristine apartment a joy to return home to.

Grab a glass of something crisp and crash out in the open-plan living space to soak up the views of Porto's rooftops beyond. If you're peckish, there's everything you need to rustle up a light bite to eat in the sleek kitchen area. And when it's time to lay your head, you'll love the lofty feel of the bedroom perched high above on the mezzanine level.

Mesk, Fedor & Mots 

Located in Porto’s cultural heart, Boavista, this stylish apartment is an idyllic base for solo travellers or couples seeking artistic exploration. 

This apartment is calm and bright, thanks to its expanse of glass doors opening up to a sky-grazing balcony, as well as its cool colour palette and minimalist furnishings. Spend mornings on the balcony with a Nespresso coffee and pastel de nata or gather around the glass-topped table for a light breakfast as the morning sun strikes - your host is happy to arrange breakfast if you so wish. If you can peel yourself away from your breezy oasis, the vibrant neighbourhood has you covered for a sight-filled day.

Whether you’re interested in a concert this trip or not, Rem Koolhaas’s Casa da Música is worth a visit - especially since it’s only six minutes from your apartment. We think lunch is well spent at Cufra - their francesinha sandwich, made with sausage, steak, cheese and spicy sauce, is a solid contender for Porto’s best. Spend the afternoon exploring one of the world’s top art institutions, Fundação Serralves or marvel at the lavish fountains and sea views from Jardim do Passeio Alegre.

A Picture of Porto

This loft apartment in Porto has been cleverly designed to maximise the amount of space available. The black floating staircase in the middle of the living room could easily dominate the space, but its sleek form lets natural light from the French doors flow around the space well. Similarly, the minimalist dining table is so slim that you can miss it from certain angles. The floral feature wall adds a bit of personality to the interior and works well with the large house plant. The addition of the balcony is particularly welcoming and allows for lovely views of the city's terracotta rooftops. It feels perfectly peaceful up here, but there are lots of famous landmarks nearby. The baroque Igreja do Carmo is two minutes' walk around the corner, while the equally impressive Palácio da Bolsa can be reached in ten.

Uma Francesinha

Private Dryer

Few places in Porto can outshine this home's location. Positioned just north of the historic centre, it sits next to what is undoubtedly one of the city's most iconic landmarks, the Clérigos Tower. Standing at 75 metres in height, this elaborate Baroque masterpiece is not only a steadfast component of Porto's skyline but also the tallest campanile in Portugal. Ascend its two-hundred-and-twenty-five steps and be rewarded with sweeping panoramas across the city's terracotta-tiled rooftops and out towards the endless blue of the Atlantic Ocean.

A rosy-hued Pombaline façade provides the framework for this home, exuding authentic charm from the outset. Perched up high on the third floor, it's delightfully peaceful and boasts a unique vantage point of Porto's cityscape, including the nearby Jardim das Oliveiras. Though compact, the interior feels spacious and inviting thanks to a trio of large windows, ushering in floods of natural light, and a thoughtfully considered open-plan layout. The décor is contemporary with a stylish mid-century-inspired quality, and we especially love the kitchen, fully equipped with home chefs in mind. Spend mornings roosted at the spacious dining table, tucking into coffee and pastries before slipping out to explore.

Forty-Nine Bells

Free Parking

Style and practicality go hand-in-hand at this Lapa district apartment designed by the famed architect Siza Vieira. Each bedroom is as light-filled as the next, thanks to those floor-to-ceiling Juliet balcony windows, and there’s a twin bedroom tailor-made for little ones. It’s worth noting the Metro overground runs close to this home – handy for getting about the city, but the passing trains may take some getting used to. But for a home this central, that’s all par of the course.

Vieira's Place

This enchanting apartment is a wonderful place to call home during your stay in Porto. Perfect for a solo traveller or a couple, it has everything you need to make your stay in the Portuguese city a roaring success. 

The host is dedicated to employing local designers and artists, and the result is a bright space which combines modern styling with a retro flavour. The wood-panelled walls create a warm, welcoming ambiance, and you'll love sipping a glass of tawny port on the sofa while you plan your itinerary. When you get hungry, you can whip up your favourite dishes in the kitchen using fresh ingredients from Mercado do Bolhão. And, there's even a workspace for catching up on those pesky emails. 

From here, the magnificent Clérigos Tower is just a three-minute walk away, and the imposing Porto Cathedral is a ten-minute stroll from your front door. Bookworms can be first in line at the Livraria Lello, a magical bookshop just four minutes away on foot. And, if you wander through the cobbled streets of Ribeira, down to the Douro River, you can take a boat trip to see the city from the water. 

City Of Wonders

While studio apartments can sometimes be disappointing due to the lack of space, this cosy gem located in the heart of Porto between two stunning city parks has all the charm and comfort to more than make up for its compact size. An ideal base for a romantic getaway, as well as for a solo traveller, this pad will make your Porto stay a relaxing and memorable one. 

The hosts quite clearly have a special connection with this place, and it shows in the loving way they’ve decorated and maintained it. Enter to be welcomed by a light-filled space, with huge windows letting in streams of natural light gently reflected off the greenery of the garden outside. There is more than ample room for relaxing and lounging about on the plush sofa, where you can enjoy movie nights and evenings of wine and conversation. You’ll also be able to whip up quick and delicious meals in the bright and modern kitchen, and you can share them with your travel companion at the dining table. 

For a night of restful sleep, the luxurious soft bed awaits you, and although it is situated in the same space as the living area, you won’t feel cramped here. Wake up restored and ready for another day of city adventures – but first, start your day right with a cup of freshly brewed coffee. 

Outside you’re front door you’ll find yourself within easy walking distance to most of the city’s exciting sights – with the iconic Torre dos Clérigos just five minutes away. 

A Sentimental Journey 

Perched in Porto's historic Miragaia neighbourhood, this modern apartment puts you around a ten-minute stroll from the city centre. Offering scenic views over the Douro River, you'll be perfectly positioned to explore on foot or via public transportation. That being said, it sits on the third floor without a lift, and the local district is notoriously steep, so it may not be the best choice for those with limited mobility. It can also get a bit noisy here, so we suggest packing earplugs. After a wander around town, guests can enjoy the open-plan living area's sociable set-up – preferably over a glass of local Port wine. Come bedtime, the air-conditioned bedrooms encourage a comfortable night's sleep. 

A Touch of Porto

Located in the medieval neighbourhood of Miragaia, this contemporary apartment is a great base for exploring Porto, Portugal’s second-biggest city. While the home is compact, you’ll find everything you need for a comfortable stay, including a fully equipped kitchen, dining table and lounge area. There’s even a small balcony off the bedroom with rooftop views across the city. The surrounding area has colourful houses and a winding river, and Porto itself is steeped in history with lots to discover.


Porto Escape

Fireplace

Just a short stroll from Porto's central attractions, such as Casa da Musica, this modern apartment is conveniently located for taking in the city's sights. There's a covered balcony with space to dine alfresco in the sunshine. Meanwhile, the kitchen bar is the perfect spot to sample local fare paired with a glass of Port wine. While the interior stylings aren't the most inspiring and no basic essentials are supplied, the air conditioning in the bedrooms is a nice touch. It's a practical base for exploring Porto.


The Port Wine

Sitting in Porto’s trendy Cedofeita, this apartment opens its doors to a bright and colourful stay in the city. And much like its setting, there’s an artistic quality to this space that feels inspiring. 

With its eclectic styling and contrasting textures, there’s a wonderful sense of vitality and freshness here. It’s the kind of space that brings a burst of joy and sunshine to daily living. And whether you’re travelling with a plan or looking for a spontaneous adventure, there’s everything you could need to feel at home here. 

From quiet mornings watching the light spilling into the living room to cosy candlelit dinners, there’s a transformative quality to this apartment. And when you’re feeling refreshed and inspired, you’ll find the pedestrian streets of Cedofeita are filled with cafes, restaurants, shops and galleries. There’s also easy access to the city’s iconic sights – the Jardins do Palácio de Cristal is only a five–minute walk away while the Douro River is just twenty–minutes away. 

The Albertina 

This charming home-from-home is a superb base in the heart of Porto. It’s bright, attractive, and welcoming, and it’s equipped with everything you might need for a city break. The apartment is just a seven-minute walk to the Casa da Música metro station, so seeing the sights is as easy as can be. You can walk to Crystal Palace Gardens, a green oasis overlooking the Douro River. Two guests will be sleeping on a sofa bed in the living room,  which won’t be the most private setup. 

Charming Quinta

Private Parking

This modern and sleek studio apartment, situated close to Porto’s historic centre, is a perfect little gem for a couple or a solo traveller visiting this beautiful city and looking for a cosy nest to base themselves at. You’ll benefit from the tranquil surrounding and close proximity to all of the city’s iconic landmarks, and the pad itself offers sweet repose after a long day of exploring. 

Enjoy cosy evenings on the plush sofa, where you’ll be able to snuggle up for a movie night in the company of your travel companion. There’s also a kitchen area, perfect for rustling up quick and delicious meals which can then be shared at the dining table. 

For a night of sweet dreams, a comfy double bed awaits you – wake up well-rested and step out onto the balcony to welcome a new day with a cup of freshly brewed coffee. Before you head out to discover the city, you may want to enjoy a workout at the communal gym. 

Outside your front door, you’ll find yourself within walking distance from the vibrant centre, where exciting museums, shops and restaurants await you. The city’s beaches can also be reached in under fifteen minutes by car or tram. 

Bogie & Bacall 

Located opposite the famous Miguel Bombarda Street – this home offers easy access to supermarkets, restaurants, bookshops, art galleries, and stores selling design, fashion and music. Prepare for busy days of sightseeing with an energising breakfast, delivered right to your door every morning. On sunny days, why not enjoy this first coffee of the day on the sun-soaked roof terrace to take in the views of the cityscape below?

Head out and explore the heart of the city, including browsing the books at the stunning Livraria Lello– a twelve-minute walk away – which is known as one of the world’s most beautiful bookshops. What’s more, the Porto Cathedral and the Chapel of Soul can be reached on foot within twenty-four and twenty-one minutes, respectively. 

In the evening, take advantage of the restaurants and nightlife which are within as little as a one-minute walk from your door. Then, we would love to end each day with a glass of port wine, which the area is known for overlooking the city lit up at night.

Sun Soul

Boasting a wonderfully central location overlooking leafy Praça de Carlos Alberto, this comfortable apartment is an ideal base for those looking for a calm space to call home while being within easy walking distance of Porto’s most famous sights. 
 
Contemporary in its design with wood floors and dazzling white walls, the open-plan living space nods to Portuguese tradition with its blue accents, creating a perfectly welcoming space in which you’ll have no trouble relaxing. Enjoy your morning coffee on the communal front balcony dotted with an assortment of plants, or perch by the bedroom’s small balcony overlooking the square – the ideal spot for your morning hit of caffeine or a celebratory sundowner while people-watching. You’ve got a desk space in the bedroom too should you need to catch up on work, while the bathroom’s rainfall shower all but guarantees a happy start to any day. 
 
When it comes to exploring nearby, visit the beautiful Igreja do Carmo – a two-minute walk away – or peruse the ornate Livraria Lello bookstore, three minutes away on foot. You’re also a six-minute walk from the Clérigos Tower, a fourteen-minute stroll from Porto Cathedral, while bustling Cais da Ribeira is twenty minutes on foot from your door. 


Beijinho

Bathrobes

Resort Access

Rio & Pedra is located on a charming street on the riverside in Miragaia, a peaceful spot that's about a twenty-minute walk away from the central sights. The little balcony will let you admire the river from the comfort of the living room, but the living room is just as pleasant to hang out in – especially the dining area next to the original stone wall. This is an immaculate home where we could see that the host has given the idea of comfort a lot of thought, and we loved the high-quality soft furnishings that give it a homey touch. 

Rio & Pedra

Situated on Rua Miguel Bombarda, renowned for its endless selection of art galleries, design boutiques and vintage shops, this studio apartment is an excellent choice for creative types looking to spend time in Porto’s trendiest neighbourhood. 

Inside, the space has been expertly curated and thoughtfully presented, ensuring you have enough room to relax and recharge. Begin your mornings with a cimbalino (espresso) on the plump sofa before putting together a tasty breakfast in the sleek kitchenette. Enjoy on your private balcony as you plan your day’s agenda. 

Wiggle through the cobbled streets of Miragaia to the Jardim da Cordoaria for a picnic. Once you’re refuelled and raring to go, visit the Igreja do Carmo for its famous tiled façade and Cais da Riberia, a twenty-minute walk away, to watch the boats drift along the river. Head home in the late afternoon to soak up the last of the sunshine from your hanging egg chair with a well-deserved glass of Port in hand.

Be Cool

A stellar stay in the centre of Porto awaits you when you choose this fabulous penthouse apartment, based in the Boavista area of the city, known for its vibrant rooftop bars, swanky restaurants and dynamic atmosphere. Here, you'll be within easy reach of all the best sights of the city.

Inside the home feels modern and contemporary, with Scandi-style furniture and decor that runs throughout each room, plus large windows that envelop the entire place in warm light. You can gather around the funky dining set for feasts in the evenings, or lounge in the living area when you need to rest. There's also a fantastic terrace complete with a dining area where you can sip on sunset cocktails, and a lounge space where you can recline in the sunshine.

Sheer Simplicity

With a private roof terrace in the heart of Porto, this apartment is a real hidden gem. Enjoy alfresco meals as a group or simply head up for some fresh air after a busy day of exploring. Inside, the minimalist design will help you unwind, and there's a modern kitchen for preparing home-cooked dinners. There's also a supermarket within 300 metres for stocking up, while the nearby Rua de Cedofeita shopping street offers a variety of restaurants, bars and boutiques. Just note – two people will be sleeping on a sofa bed if you're in a group of four. The home is also spread over multiple levels with no lift, so we'd recommend it for those who can easily manage stairs. 

Terrace Refuge

This apartment is part of a former 19th-century palace in Miragaia. While the original facade maintains its Portuguese blue tiles, the interiors are minimal and modern, making it a perfect spot for those seeking a comfortable stay with a dose of history. There’s plenty of space here for a couple or small group to unwind over a glass of local port after a day sightseeing – the balcony is our pick. And if you’re visiting as a group of three, keep in mind that one guest will be sleeping on the sofa bed. Location-wise, you’re within walking distance of the National Museum Soares dos Reis, Igreja e Torre dos Clérigos and the Douro River.

Porto Palácio

Perched in the postcard-pretty district of Cais das Pedras and just a three-minute amble to the Rio Douro, you’ve got the best of Porto at your feet here. Take your pick from the sights of downtown Porto (within walking distance) or hop on the nearby tram to the laidback beaches of Foz do Douro. Though not the largest home in our Porto collection, the French balconies leading off the living room and bedroom help to open up the space. At full occupancy, the last guest will sleep on a sofa bed in the lounge. But for a home this charming, we can let that slide.

Porta Azul

This apartment is the perfect place to experience all that Porto has to offer. The home itself lacks thoughtful design, and the kitchen is dated, though everything works well. If you’re easily awoken, you might want to bring an eyemask, as the bedroom curtains let in a lot of natural light. The plus, however, is the free on-site parking, which is a rarity in this area. If you’d prefer to stretch your legs, the Igreja do Carmo and the famous Livraria Lello are within walking distance.

Casa da Amiga

This no-nonsense apartment is a comfortable base whether you’re visiting Porto for business or pleasure. While the kitchen is small, it has everything you need to rustle up something tasty, and there is ample storage space if you’re tempted to extend your visit. Location-wise, the home is in the Cedofeita neighbourhood, a fifteen-minute walk from the famous Livraria Lello and around twenty minutes from the Miradouro da Vitória – it’s our favourite spot to watch the sunset.

This inviting studio flat in a UNESCO World Heritage City is ready to become your new home. It is located on Rua Miguel Bombarda, known for being a hub of art galleries, alternative shops, and a gathering place for art enthusiasts and new ideas. Enjoy the privileged location while staying in a beautifully decorated studio apartment with high-quality furniture, appliances, fast wi-fi, and minimalistic details for a luxurious yet charming atmosphere. 
 
The Ribeira District is steeped in history, a labyrinth of narrow cobbled streets, ancient houses, and Portuguese character, and it's a great place to walk around during the day. To truly embrace the locality of Porto and feel immersed in the culture, visit one of the many Port cellars for a wine tasting session. Last but not least, don't miss The Foz District, located at the mouth of the Douro River and features incredible beaches, river sidewalks, and a laid-back atmosphere.


Steps of Memories

We can't think of a better way to wake up in Porto than face-to-face with the sparkling flow of the Douro River. Lucky for you, this stylish home promises just that. Positioned in the heart of downtown and perched on the first floor, it achieves the seemingly paradoxical feat of feeling delightfully peaceful and right at the heart of it all. It sits between two gorgeous green spaces, the Jardim da Cordoaria and Jardim das Virtudes – the latter, according to our local informants, is the perfect spot for enjoying a cold beer at sunset.

With its open-plan layout, cloaked in warm tones, clean-cut lines and timber-clad decor, this home's Japanese-inspired interior exudes tranquillity. It has all the bells and whistles for a want-for-nothing stay, including a cosy lounge, a fully-equipped kitchen and a handy workspace for catching up on projects between adventures. Ushering in floods of sunlight, a pair of original floor-to-ceiling French doors reveal a charming balcony, beckoning you to unwind in the sunshine. After a restful slumber, spend mornings roosted here, sipping coffee in the gentle riverside breeze before slipping out to explore. You're surrounded by hip dining and drinking venues, not to mention an array of landmarks, including the iconic Clérigos Tower, just four minutes away on foot.
