Beautifully appointed, across the street from Praia do Carneiro's vast golden sands and crystal-clear waters, you're perfectly positioned for long, languorous days spent at the beach. Located in Foz do Douro – to the West of Porto, just ten minutes by car – with plenty of excellent restaurants, lively cafe-bars and popular markets, there are lots of things to explore nearby. Plus, you're within walking distance of more idyllic beaches than you can shake a bucket and spade at, including Praia da Luz and Praia do Ourigo, just to name a few. Inside, you'll find an impressive open-plan living space and comfortable double bedroom, partially separated by a crittall-style divider that adds plenty of visual interest to the home. Gather around the chic dining table and feast together, or enjoy a glass of wine in the comfort of the window-side rattan chair, watching the pretty shades of the sky change colour as the sun sets on the horizon. Away from the apartment, you're an eight-minute stroll from Foz Market, a twenty-five-minute walk from the 17th-century Castelo do Queijo fortress, while being surrounded by upscale shops and art galleries, to tempt you away from your beachfront oasis.
