Housed in a centuries-old building with Moorish architectural influences, this luxurious apartment not only puts you in a wonderfully central location but also allows you to experience the city in lavish, comfortable style. Decorated by an interior designer, the home reflects finesse and careful curation in every one of its rooms. The open-plan living area looks like a snapshot from a design catalogue with its Art Deco feature wall, neutral furnishings and cool hanging chair. There’s a wonderful brightness here too thanks to the wall of glass whose sliding doors give way to a private lawn-covered terrace. While away sunny hours on the outdoor day bed and cool off from the heat under the stunning waterfall shower. There’s a table here too for alfresco feasts aplenty, whether in the midday sun or in the evening over a bottle of wine. The bedroom, meanwhile, is an elegant affair with its four-poster bed and pared-back aesthetic and we love the French doors that lead out onto a private balcony – the ideal spot to catch some rays over coffee after waking up from a blissful night’s sleep. When it comes to sightseeing, Igreja do Carmo is a three-minute walk away, Porto Cathedral is... walkable in ten and bustling Cais da Ribeira is fifteen minutes away on foot.
