Located in Praça dos Poveiros, this bright apartment puts you in a prime position to explore Porto’s most historic and cultural sights, all while enjoying a wonderfully comfortable stay. Stepping into the beautifully sunny open-plan living area, you’ll immediately be struck by the elegant corniced ceilings, hardwood floors and dazzling amount of natural light pouring in through the paned, arched French doors. Open these up to let the breeze drift through the space while you enjoy breakfast at the dining table, or perch by their Juliet balconies with a glass of Portuguese wine. The two bedrooms boast equally beautiful French doors that give way to views over the nearby Jardim Marques de Oliveira (a one-minute walk away), as well as inviting beds that wait to drift you into a peaceful night’s slumber. And when it comes to sightseeing, you’ve got plenty from which to choose within easy walking distance – the Igreja de Santo Ildefonso is a three-minute walk, Porto Cathedral is a ten-minute stroll and bustling, waterfront Cais da Ribeira is fifteen minutes away on foot.
