Nice to haves

The impeccably curated interiors of this aparthotel, set in the heart of historic Porto, is one for the design connoisseurs amongst you.

Spread across five buildings with a tranquil shared inner garden at it's heart, each apartment fuses bespoke-made furniture and luxurious finishes alongside rustic detailing and ceramics that the Portuguese do so well. And don't get us started on the distinctive scalloped-edge exteriors – what an architectural triumph.

Inside, there are all the creature comforts to get settled in right away. Rustle up early evening drinks and nibbles in the smart kitchen space and pad outside onto your private balcony – the views of Porto's ornate balconies and rooftops beyond are every bit like you imagined. Or beat the heat and crash out inside with a movie – there's a smart TV at the ready.

When it's time to soak up Porto's rich culture, make a beeline for the iconic Mercado do Bolhão and the signature blue and white tiles of the 18th-century Chapel of Souls – both just a six-minute walk away. Mosey over to the stylish Santa Catarina Boulevard (five minutes on foot) with its trim boutiques, striped stone footpaths, and buzzy cafes for obligatory pastel de natas and people-watching. Or hop on the metro at Trindade (just a four-minute walk away) to unearth other corners of this captivating city.

In the Village

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.

Pack your bags and head to lovely Porto for a stay at this sleek apartment, right in the town centre. Perfect for little families, couples or business travellers, you'll have a great time immersing yourself in this vibrant city. 

The open-plan living space has a calming ambiance with crisp white walls, natural wood floors, and soothing blue tones – you'll settle in here in no time at all. The bedroom is equally calming and guarantees you a good night's sleep after a day of adventures. But the best part of all has to be the large terrace – slide open the doors and head outside to sip your morning coffee in the sunshine, or enjoy a nightcap in the balmy evening breeze. 

From here, you can easily access the city's best-loved sights. Wander through the cobbled streets and visit port cellars, artisanal boutiques, and local restaurants to get a true taste of Porto life. You can walk down to the river, with its impressive bridges in under twenty minutes, stopping off at some of the city's beautiful churches on the way.

Located only a few minutes from the Clérigos Tower, On The Lookout's rooftop terrace offers a rival view to the Cathedral and downtown architecture. The insides of this home are equally impressive, with a welcoming communal area all dressed in wood. The rustic touches are added in the form of forest animal prints, which adds to the warm ambiance in every room. The terrace is only accessible via the upstairs bedroom, but if that's not too much of an inconvenience, then you're cordially invited to experience the view (and the comfort) for yourself. 

On The Lookout

Nestled in Praça Marquês de Pombal, this charming apartment is an ideal base for a family or group of friends. High ceilings and French doors flood light into a space where you’ll find everything you need for a comfortable stay. In contrast, the main bedroom, as an interior room, lacks a little natural light due to the lack of a window. That said, you’ll have a relaxing night’s sleep without any light disturbance. When you’re ready to explore, the Marquês metro station is on your doorstep so you can travel around the city with ease.

This gorgeous studio apartment offers you the chance to immerse yourself in Porto's beating heart. Located in the Clérigos area, between Jardim da Cordoaria and Jardim Municipal do Horto das Virtudes, it's ideal for guests who want to combine city living with easy access to some green space. 

The home may be petite, but the clever layout really maximises the space available. Step inside, and you'll find a sleek kitchen where you can whip up your favourite dishes to enjoy at the cute round table as sunlight streams in through the window. 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. And, with the Duoro River just a ten-minute walk away, you can schedule a boat trip to see the city from a new perspective.

From its enviable position in the centre of Porto, this stylish yet functional apartment is an excellent choice for families and groups of friends alike. The open-plan living space is perfectly proportioned, with enough room for entertaining your loved ones or enjoying a quiet moment with a cup of coffee. We had a particular soft spot for the individually designed bedrooms and we loved the kitchen’s handy serving hatch.

When you’re ready to explore your surroundings. Begin with a trip to Porto Cathedral, just a short walk from your building. Or why not head down to the water? Amble alongside the Duoro River with an ice cream in hand before watching the world pass by in a charming cafe. In the early evening, we recommend watching the sunset from the nearby Miradouro da Rua das Aldas viewpoint. 

Peach & Emerald

Situated in the Lapa neighbourhood, this apartment provides a welcome break away from the clamour of downtown Porto. When you do fancy getting stuck into the hustle and bustle, spend mornings strolling along the charming Cais da Ribeira with a coffee to go before enjoying a traditional Portuguese breakfast in a laid-back cafe. Pore over the intricate azulejos of the Church of Saint Ildefonso then soak up the grandeur of the Livraria Lello. 

Back at home, a bright living space invites you to kick back and relax with a glass of Port or a flaky Jesuíta pastry. If you fancy flexing your culinary muscles, the compact kitchenette has everything you need for cooking up a storm. And when it’s time to get some rest, the no-nonsense bedroom guarantees a deep slumber night after night.

Countless Lives

Situated in the charming Ribeiro neighbourhood, a three-minute walk from the neoclassical Palácio da Bolsa and within touching distance of old-school restaurants serving traditional Portuguese fare, this modern and bright apartment is a great base for exploring all that Porto has to offer.

We loved the light-filled living space, with its huge floor-to-ceiling windows and double-height ceilings. A dining table takes centre stage, encouraging lively breakfasts in the morning and hearty suppers in the evening. There’s also a cosy mezzanine level that is the perfect spot for reclining with a glass of wine before retreating to sumptuous bedrooms for an early night. 

Slip into the narrow cobbled streets and begin your sightseeing adventure. The 12th-century Porto Cathedral is six minutes from your doorstep and the Igreja dos Clérigos with its 75-metre-tall bell tower is reached in less than ten. When it’s time to call it a day, make a beeline for the Vitória viewpoint to watch dusk fall across the city.

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.

Wherever you find yourself, this home provides a constant sense of sanctuary – a place to unwind and experience the magic of Porto. 

The Mellow Moon 

Found in one of the oldest residential buildings in Porto, this apartment might not look 200 years old thanks to modernisation, but it remains historic. Now updated to house families itching to explore this UNESCO World Heritage City, it's comfortable – though the two bedrooms with the sloped ceilings might be better for kids – and bright with a fantastic location. Walk to Porto Cathedral and other landmarks in minutes, buy fresh produce from the Bolhão market only a short stroll away, and hop on the trams to find points of interest further afield. 

A Little Piece of Porto

Sleek, modern and centrally located, this Porto home is perfect for couples or solo travellers looking to take in the sights of this charming city. Take it easy in the smart living space – perhaps you’ll tap away on your laptop at the desk or enjoy a moment of stillness on the soft cushions and rug. Mornings begin under the rainfall shower, before hashing out an itinerary as your coffee warms up in the handy kitchenette. 

When you're ready to head out and about, wander through the pretty cobbled streets, soaking up the authentic atmosphere, as you pass an array of fabulous restaurants, authentic cafes and chic wine bars from your doorstep. You're a short walk from many of the city's most celebrated attractions – from the Church of Saint Ildefonso and Clérigos Tower to the stunning Livraria Lello bookshop. As evening draws in, head to Bolsa Palace and the Cais da Ribeira down on the riverfront, for a romantic stroll along the Douro and a taste of local cuisine. 

Bright & Ready

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. 

Ruby Port

A haven of calm in Portugal's bustling riverside city, this chic one-bed apartment will set you up for a memorable stay. The recently-refurbished interiors are strikingly stylish, from the punchy tiled bathroom to the moulded walls and ceiling. The recurrent use of teal infuses the home with a sense of serenity.

Sliding glass doors lead to the elegant sleeping space, a colourful yet restful enclave that could easily be mistaken for a boutique hotel room. Doze away from bustling street noise, then start the morning with a coffee and pastel de nata at the bright dining table. The kitchen is fully-equipped if you fancy a proper breakfast to fuel you for the day ahead.

The historic Sé Cathedral is just ten minutes away, an impressive demonstration of Romanesque architecture. From here, you're within easy reach of the widely-photographed São Bento station – its hand-painted tiling makes it one of the most beautiful railway stations in the world. Come evening, walk the five minutes from your apartment to Cais da Ribeira, a busy piazza with plentiful restaurants and bars to sample this city's world-famous port at. 

Teal Tranquility

This beautiful apartment combines modern decor with traditional style as you reside in the city. The walls are made from stone, lit up by the daylight that pours in through the large windows in the living space. Snuggle up on the sofa with the cushions as you watch a movie on the TV together – the aroma of a homecooked meal flowing through the home from the kitchen. 

Enjoy meals at the circular dining table, before heading out onto the balcony to sip on a sumptuous glass of wine – you get a gorgeous skyline view from this spot no matter the time of day. Get comfy under the covers in the bedroom to read a brand new book as the sunlight streams in, accompanied by a mug of hot chocolate. Spend evenings on the balcony as you bathe in the amber glow of the sunset with a flute of champagne.

Head out to explore the city of Lisbon, with bustling streets and cosy eateries that serve up delicious cuisine ranging from local dishes to global specialties. Visit historical landmarks that offer beautiful backdrops for those all-important holiday snaps or wander through the charming National Museum of Contemporary Art.

Porto is a city perhaps best known for the fortified wine that borrows its name, so it only feels appropriate that this large apartment in the downtown area of the city feels like it has been designed for gathering people together. 

The space revolves around an open kitchen-dining area that looks like the trendiest restaurant in town. Here, guests can get stuck in and whip up tasty dishes, or alternatively watch the action from a seat at the large island. If you’d prefer to leave the cooking to the professionals, there's the option of hiring a private chef at this address who can take care of mealtimes. Once dinner is piping hot and ready to serve, there's a huge dining table to seat the whole party and spend long evenings around. 

If you ever fancy a breath of fresh air at any point, there's a balcony with a pleasant view of the street below. Outside, Bolhão market is only a five-minute walk away when you want to pick up some fresh, local ingredients, while Bolsa Palace can be reached in just over fifteen if you're in the mood for some culture. Finish the day with some sunset watching at the Vitória viewpoint, an eighteen-minute stroll from your doorstep.

Ribeira is one of Porto’s most charming and typical neighbourhoods, and this apartment blends right in. Steps from the apartment is the riverfront, where Porto’s famous wine cellars line the banks, and walking the narrow streets of the neighbourhood you’ll find delights like Palacio Bolta three minutes away, and Mercado Ferreira Borges five minutes on foot. The first thing you’ll notice, stepping into the apartment, is the view directly over the Douro River from the wall of big windows in the living room. Wooden shutters add a touch of tradition, and the darkwood dressers and artfully faded Moroccan rugs are in keeping with the building’s history. Hardwood floors lead from the living room, to the compact kitchen in an alcove and through to the bright bedroom where the exposed stone and big sash window motif continues.

River Port

You’ll find this apartment in downtown Porto, mere steps away from the city’s main squares and landmarks. Ideal as a base for a couple or solo traveller, just bear in mind that you’ll need to climb stairs to the third floor to access the apartment. Still, when you reach your home, your eyes will be drawn to the private balcony. Sure, it’s not the biggest and the views are only of the street below, but it’s still a lovely sun-kissed spot for a glass of wine at the end of the day. 

Porto's Charm

This unique studio apartment is tucked away in one of Porto’s most vibrant streets, Rua das Flores. It’s an excellent central base, within easy walking distance of Porto’s main attractions and lively squares. Inside the apartment, you’ll find a charming space ideal for two. It’s a studio but there’s still a decent amount of room, with a separate sitting area and a workspace. It’s sleek and modern, with everything you might need for a comfortable city break. 

Porto Prestige

Paid Parking

Located just a two-minute stroll from Rua das Flores and a seven-minute walk from Porto Cathedral, this apartment is perfect for sightseeing. If you want to explore the rest of the city, São Bento train station is five minutes on foot. Just remember to bring you're walking shoes, as this home is on a bit of a hill and the apartment is on the first floor, with no lift (there are two flights of stairs to reach the door). But you are rewarded with views of the city's cathedral once you've arrived – take in the vistas from the private balcony. Inside, we love the vaulted ceilings, which add character to this modern home.

Porto Haven

With stunning Douro River views, the equal of those from the nearby Miradouro da Vitória, this historic building offers up the perfect Porto apartment for your time in the city. 

Come for the top-floor views and stay for the stylish mid-century interior. Why not read a book in the Eames chair beneath the awe-inspiring domed skylight, admire the minimalist artwork casually propped up against the wall, or relax in the elegant living area seating?

Elsewhere, you'll find four bedrooms, two of which stand out for their en-suite bathrooms and direct balcony access. The outdoor space, in particular, makes for a welcome private area when you want some time to yourself. 

When you're not living it up in your scenic sitting room, head out into the streets and discover the historic sights within a stone's throw of your flat. Check out the impressive Palacio da Bolsa on the Unesco-listed Infante D. Henrique Square, five minutes on foot, marvel at Porto's magnificent cathedral, a ten-minute stroll, and use the Gustave Eiffel-designed Luís I Bridge to cross the River Douro, a twelve-minute meander from your front door.

Douro Dreaming

If you’re visiting Porto as a big group of friends and family, this modern pad covers all the bases. Central location? Check. Modern designs? Check. Balcony? Check. With en-suite bathrooms, getting ready in the morning is a breeze, but please note that the four guests sleeping on the sofa beds will need to share the bathrooms. We love the spacious and sociable kitchen, perfect for family dinners at home. However, with Porto's diverse restaurants on your doorstep, you'll likely prefer to dine out, especially with foodie havens like Rua Santa Catarina and Mercado do Bolhão just a short walk away.

The Porto Retreat

Modern and attractive, this apartment is an ideal Porto pad for couples. It’s the kind of calm, welcoming space you want to return to during a city break. You can pop back for moments of tranquillity in between seeing the sights, stepping out onto the balcony for a breath of fresh air and a cup of coffee. 

Wake up feeling refreshed in the comfortable bedroom, and head through to the open-plan kitchen and living room for breakfast. Whip up something to set you up for a day of exploring, and then hit the city. This apartment is in a safe, central neighbourhood, within easy walking distance of all of Porto’s main attractions. When your feet need a break, you can hop on the metro – Faria Guimarães station is just a couple minutes away.

The Violette Dream  

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. 


River View Rest

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

A bright, funky, and modern holiday apartment in a great central location close to many of the best bits of the lively city of Porto – what more could you wish for? We love the open feeling spaces and clean lines of this home, and how it manages to exude its own unique character despite its streamlined, contemporary aesthetic. 

Enjoy spending time together here, perhaps preparing something delicious to eat in the simple yet well-equipped kitchen, before stepping out onto the furnished terrace to enjoy it under the (almost) guaranteed Portuguese sunshine.

Here, you'll find yourself within a stone's throw of all of the wonderful things that have seen Porto catapulted through the ranks in recent years to become one of the most popular destinations in Europe. This includes a huge selection of restaurants serving up both traditional Portuguese as well as international cuisine, great shopping opportunities, and a host of art galleries and museums. This home is also located just around 50 metres from metro line, so you can be almost anyway within this vibrant city quickly and easily.


Take Me to Funky Town

Whether you're a solo traveller looking for your own little nest, or a couple after a romantic dwelling, this compact yet classy apartment is ideal for a wonderful getaway to the heart of Porto. It's no wonder why this UNESCO World Heritage City is such a sought-after destination – there are plenty of sights to see and historic spots to visit, as well as fun rooftop bars and vibrant restaurants to explore – and when you stay here, you'll be within easy reach of it all.

We love this home's simple design, with a charcoal and natural wood colour scheme that feels modern and fresh. You can sit around the compact dining area and tuck into tasty pastel de natas together, and there's also a kitchenette where you can make your morning cups of coffee and light lunch bites. At the end of busy times spent exploring the city, you can fall into the big cosy bed, ready to do it all again the next day.

Charcoal & Maple

This home nearly feels like staying on a boat – what with the large French doors opening directly onto the Douro River. Whether you’re sat on the sofa or enjoying a coffee at the dining table, you’ll have sweeping views of the water and the city. The windows’ second benefit is the sheer amount of light the living space gets, bathing the tasteful furniture in the warm sun. We could spend hours with a book in the armchair, taking in the sea air as the day grows to a peak. But of course, this central location leaves much to be explored. You can wander along the riverfront’s picturesque fishing neighbourhoods, hopping on the 1930s tram that runs to Foz. Or, board on a boat that will take you to the famous terraced Douro vineyards to sample Vinho Verde and Port. You’ll be walking distance from beautiful historic buildings, located in one of the quietest streets of Ribeira, and only a thirteen-minute walk from São Bento Railway Station – which will connect you all over the city.  

Light Port

This home is located on the Rua Galeria de Paris, a street famous for its nightlife and lively spirit. It's a simple yet elegant apartment, with clean lines, crisp white walls and modern furniture. But the best feature, we're sure you'll agree, has to be the roof terrace. You could spend hours up here, from your morning coffee to a final sundowner, looking out over the historic buildings of Porto's old town. 

You're well-positioned to visit many of the top sights in the city, with Clérigos Tower and Aliados Avenue a five-minute walk away, and the Livraria Lello Bookstore just around the corner – rumour has it this literary wonderland inspired the Hogwarts library. Your host can even organise food tours on request, showing you the very best of the city's gastronomic scene. And, when night falls, you only need to step outside to find yourself right in the epicentre of Porto's fabulous nightlife. 

Right in the Heart

With a fabulous address in downtown Porto, right in the heart of the city, you’ll find this apartment is near a load of attractions. Points of interest include the Mercado do Bolhão and the Tower and Church of Clérigos, as well as several parks.

Back at this home, sit in the sun on the private balcony with a glass of Port or a drink of your choice and take in the views over Porto. You can see the two spires of the Church of Our Lady of Lapa just above the rooftops from here. Or head inside and read a book on the custard yellow sofa in the light-filled living space. Later get ready in the marble-style bathroom for an evening out at one of the traditional restaurants in the neighbourhood.


Eucalyptus Leaf

This apartment is located slap bang in the middle of the enchanting city of Porto, so there are plenty of attractions nearby. The stunning Lello bookshop is an eight-minute stroll, while Mercado do Bolhão is an eleven-minute saunter. For history and architecture lovers, Porto Cathedral and the Tower and Church of Clérigos are both a six-minute amble. The chic boutiques of Rua de Santa Catarina, on the other hand, are twenty minutes on foot.

On the iconic Rua das Flores lined with restaurants and traditional shops in historic buildings, you'll find this gorgeous home with its luxurious yet charming feel. We love the vaulted, beamed ceilings and the shuttered warehouse-style windows with views over the terracotta rooftops and the neighbourhood. Vases of flowers and orchids give this place a homely vibe. It's perfect for a couple or solo traveller wanting the delights of Porto on their doorstep.



Cerise Rose

Smart TV

Fling open the charming French doors of this oh-so-Porto townhouse apartment, and you'll soon realise you've bagged one of the best spots in town. Set downtown along the iconic Rua de Santa Catarina, the location is unbeatable. Step out onto the street below and head for the striped stone footpaths, smart boutiques, and Porto's most ornate tearoom, Café Majestic, at the heart of the avenue. And when it's time to uncover more of the city's must-sees, Bolhão, Avenida dos Aliados, Paris Gallery, and São Bento are all within walking distance from the apartment. Or hop on the Bolhão Metro station, just 700 meters from the apartment, and blaze a trail to another corner of this beautiful city. 
 
Back home, the Azulejo-bedecked exteriors of this historic townhouse are as pretty-as-a-picture, with ornate wrought-iron Juliet balconies just like you'd imagined. Step inside, and the newly-renovated apartment keeps on giving, with a sharp design focus that you'll love. And while this home may be compact, we think it's perfectly formed with all the creature comforts you could need. Rustle up breakfast in the smart kitchen area, then get together for a tête-à-tête at the bistro table or spill out onto the sofa with that second coffee to hatch plans for the day ahead. With the Juliet balcony doors open wide, it's a fine way to start another day in Porto.

Azulejo Bedecked

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.
