Situated right where the River Douro meets the Atlantic Ocean, this stylish apartment offers spectacular views and plenty of living space. Two balconies grant you the opportunity to relax in the sun – the one off the main bedroom is perfect for morning cups of coffee, while the downstairs balcony is ideal for cocktails as the evening draws to a close. Floor-to-ceiling windows show off the scenery all day long, a sleek kitchen makes rustling up meals a breeze and a cosy sofa is a perfect spot to kick back and relax after a busy day exploring. Our favourite room is the main bedroom. As well as the private balcony, it has all the bells and whistles you'd want – blackout blinds, built-in Bluetooth speakers and a lavish rainfall shower in the en-suite. When you're ready to explore, both the 1 and 18 trams run right past the home, so you'll have no problem getting to and from Porto's bustling city centre. That said, Foz do Douro isn't lacking in activities, either. Sprawl out on the miles of sandy beaches (Praia das Pastoras is a fifteen-minute walk away), grab dinner and drinks at one of the waterfront restaurants or just... stroll along the river, admiring the many landmarks, lighthouses and sculptures representing Portugal's rich history.

Local guide
About Lordelo do Ouro
Lordelo do Ouro is a quiet, family-friendly area in between the seaside Foz do Douro and the inner western suburbs. You’re unlikely to really feel the presence of tourism here. At commuting distance from the city, it has a spread-out, suburban feel, though it’s also popular with younger crowds thanks to its relatively low rent. There’s a range of public transport options which make it well connected to the centre....
