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.
