In Porto, it doesn’t get much better than a riverfront location. And this super sleek apartment has enviable views of the Duoro from walls of glass. In the direct neighbourhood, you’re secluded from the bustle of the city centre, but you can watch it all from your quiet location across the river. It’s less than ten minutes on foot to the famous wine and port cellars that line the Duoro and twenty minutes will see you in the historic district of Ribera.

Stepping inside is like entering the pages of an interior design magazine, with warm wood and ink-black accents throughout and walls of glass letting the river view take centre stage. Modern artworks adorn the walls and everything feels open and spacious. There’s a sleek little stove in the living room, and the bedroom’s ensuite has a jetted Jacuzzi tub for an indulgent soak at the end of the day.
