Located opposite the famous Miguel Bombarda Street – this home offers easy access to supermarkets, restaurants, bookshops, art galleries, and stores selling design, fashion and music. Prepare for busy days of sightseeing with an energising breakfast, delivered right to your door every morning. On sunny days, why not enjoy this first coffee of the day on the sun-soaked roof terrace to take in the views of the cityscape below? Head out and explore the heart of the city, including browsing the books at the stunning Livraria Lello– a twelve-minute walk away – which is known as one of the world’s most beautiful bookshops. What’s more, the Porto Cathedral and the Chapel of Soul can be reached on foot within twenty-four and twenty-one minutes, respectively. In the evening, take advantage of the restaurants and nightlife which are within as little as a one-minute walk from your door. Then, we would love to end each day with a glass of port wine, which the area is known for overlooking the city lit up at night.

About Miragaia

Situated to the west of the city centre, and leading down to the Douro river, Miragaia is a jumble of medieval streets. Like Ribeira, it has brightly coloured buildings and sweeping views over the water. But unlike the city’s main riverside hub, Miragaia is tucked away from the usual tourist trails. In the evenings its restaurant and bar scene thrives, but it’s generally calmer area, with a strong local population...
