Take in the incredible vistas of the Rio Douro and Ribeira district from the floor-to-ceiling windows in this romantic apartment located in Cais de Gaia. When the Porto weather turns chilly, snuggle up in the faux fur throws by the fireplace. We adore this cosy home, especially as night falls and Porto is all lit up – it's magical. Situated in the hub of the Port industry, there are plenty of wine cellars offering tours and tastings, such as Fonseca Port Wine Cellars and Caves Cálem, a twenty-minute stroll or ten-minute drive away. It's a fifteen-minute ride to the beautiful Porto Cathedral, or seafood lovers can head to the fishing village of Afurada, where you can dine at one of the many fish restaurants, just over a twenty-minute walk from this gorgeous home.

Local guide


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...
