Sleek and stylish, this duplex apartment is the ideal spot for a city break to Porto. The location is enviable – on a narrow residential street where the buildings are fronted with traditional azulejo tiles and the nights are quiet. Yet, it’s just a couple of minutes’ walk to the banks of the River Douro. Following the riverside path, you can reach the wine warehouses and restaurants of the Ribeira easily on foot. The decor feels natural inside in a palette of straw, pebble and wood. After a day wandering the historic streets of Porto – popping into ancient churches or taking a boat down the river – you can put your feet up (literally) on the L-shaped sofa. Sunshine filters in through French-style windows which open out to a slender balcony. Out here, you’ve got a view over the orange rooftops of the city centre. Breakfasting is a delight at the sunny dining table for four and the secret bonus is a dedicated office area on the mezzanine level for those that need to work remotely.

Home truths

    At capacity, two guests will be on the sofa bed in the living room

    This is a duplex apartment with a steep staircase inside so may not be suitable for those with limited mobility wishing to use the office

    This apartment is on the second floor and there is no lift in the building, so you'll have to climb quite a few stairs to reach the entrance

    There's a dedicated mezzanine office space here if you need to catch up on some work during your stay

    There is no private parking but this place is in the centre of Porto so we think the area is best explored on foot

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...
