This stunning duplex is located in the heart of Porto’s city centre – not that you could tell with its quaint balcony, surrounded by greenery. With beautiful granite and wood accents, this home is modern yet cosy. We love the timeless decorative touches which serve as a gentle reminder of your Portuguese surroundings. The space is flooded with natural light. Large windows and doors with white shutters create a spacious and airy feel to go with the serenity of the historic rooftop vistas. The first bedroom is spacious with a delightful beamed ceiling. The mezzanine floor, accessed through jigsaw stairs for a unique touch, makes for a memorable stay. Gaze up at the starry sky from the comfort of your bed and you’re in for a restful sleep. On waking in the morning, grab yourself a coffee as you watch the sunrise from your balcony. The kitchen is well equipped to whip up a family breakfast before venturing out into the beauty of your surroundings for the day. Restaurants, clothing stores, coffee shops and historic buildings are some of the delights you will find on your doorstep. When you’re ready to head home and pop your slippers on,... there is a deep sofa and a selection of herbal tea to greet you. For those needing something a tad stronger, a bottle of wine or a glass or two of port on the balcony will do just nicely.

Home truths
This home is located on the third floor with no lift
At full occupancy, two guests will be sleeping on the single beds in the mezzanine area and there isn't enough seating around the dining table for all guests (the dining table seats two)
The staircase up to the mezzanine is quite steep and would not be suitable for small children or those with mobility issues
Temperature control is through the air conditioning unit in the apartment (hot and cold)
This home is in a central spot, so noise is to be expected – light sleepers may want to pack earplugs
