This cosy, contemporary apartment in a great location in Portugal's second city of Porto is perfect for a romantic couple's escape, a solo holiday, a work trip, or a getaway with friends. Enjoying partial sea views and loads of natural light within its well thought out spaces, we think this gorgeous little home provides you with everything you could need to really get the most out of this vibrant city of art, culture, and fabulous Portuguese cuisine. With an open-feeling living space and a rest-promoting bedroom, the apartment feels homely and immediately welcoming. Open up the curtains to the bright Porto sunshine as you sip a morning cup of coffee, then it's off for a day of exploration. Will it be the beach today? Or one of the many intriguing historical attractions? The Mercado da Foz sells traditional Porto food and produce, and the surrounding area is filled with sophisticated clothing boutiques and some excellent art galleries, should you fancy flexing your cultural muscle. As evening rolls around, why not head back to the apartment with some tasty morsels and a bottle of wine picked up along the way to enjoy an intimate meal in the stylish dining area with the sound... of the waves in the near distance?

Once a hub for fishing and commerce, Foz do Douro is now an upmarket neighbourhood that sits at the meeting point of the Douro river and the ocean. It’s considered the most affluent area of Porto, and many of its residents are professionals who commute into the city. It’s also popular with more elderly residents looking for peace and quiet. The seafront is dominated by wide esplanades, and bars and restaurants...
