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.

About Batalha
Directly south of Bolhão and its famous market, Batalha is an inner-city area that borders on the historic centres of Baixa and Ribeira.
