Bonfim Cool Porto

Property Description

You couldn't dream up a more Portuguese setting for this newly renovated and oh-so-stylish apartment in the happening Bonfim district. Perched along the iconic Rua Fernandes Tomás, it delivers all the tiled facades and ornate wrought-iron balconies you've been chasing.

Inside, it's a more minimalist affair with a sharp design focus – and we'd expect nothing less from Bonfim, favoured by a young, creative crowd. The living area, layered with modern art, statement lighting, and objets d'art, feels vast by Porto standards. Spill out into the light-filled space with morning coffees or take things outside to the balcony to watch the streets awaken below. And there's no rush here when it comes to rustling up breakfast – for an additional fee, concierge will deliver it right to your door.

If you're in town for sightseeing, Santa Catarina Street, Bolhão, Avenida dos Aliados, Paris Gallery, and São Bento are walking distance from the apartment. And no visit to Porto would be complete without a golden hour stroll and pitstop for cocktails along the waterfront of the mighty Douro River.
