Make your stay in Porto a holiday to remember at this charming city-centre apartment. The bright and spacious home has everything you'll need to feel comfortable and relaxed – and with the stylish mid-century furniture and understated decor, you'll likely leave with some new interior design inspiration. When you're not spending your downtime relaxing in front of the TV, curl up on a wicker chair in the sunroom with a good book and a pitcher of sangria by your side. Come mealtime, try your hand at Portuguese cooking and gather the group in the sleek dining area to deliver the verdict. Prefer to leave it to the professionals? There's no shortage of top-tier restaurants in the area, from seafood joints to laid-back tapas bars. You're barely a ten-minute walk from the heart of Porto, with Livraria Lello and the famous São Bento station just a leisurely stroll away. Wind your way down to Cais da Ribeira's buzzy bar scene to sample the local drinks specialities, from vino verde to the port that gives this city its name.

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...
