History and art lovers are well-catered for at this apartment's location. There's the Church of The Lord of Bonfim over the road, and there are plenty of galleries to browse in this hip neighbourhood. There's a variety of restaurants nearby for you to sample some Portuguese or international cuisine, too. Housed in one of Porto's pastel-coloured period buildings, this apartment is light and bright inside. We love the views of the church and tree canopy from the windows and Juliet balcony. This apartment is ideal for a couple or family.

Local guide
About Bonfim
Bonfim is a neighbourhood where you can really blend in and live like a local. It’s not at all overrun by tourists. It was formerly an industrial area, and in parts the architecture still bears traces of this. There’s a real mix of local businesses as well as trendy cafes and restaurants — a good fit for families or groups after a low-key base not too far from the centre....
