Pottering About Porto

Property Description

Some holiday homes are all about the location, others boast unique designs, while some have quirky perks that make you want to move in – this renovated studio apartment in the heart of the Old Town has it all. Consider neutral tones of olive green and dark brown for the interior that set the tone for artisanal furnishings and light wood surfaces. From the animal print rug to the sculpture in plaster, this home is a picture of pared-back beauty. Bathed in natural light streaming in through balcony doors, you’ll find the living room an ideal spot for unwinding with a good book or playing games. The sleek marble kitchen comes with appliances that will make cooking a delight – complete with a balcony to enjoy your morning espresso and pastel de nata tart on while you watch the world go by in this historic part of town.

When you’re in the mood for exploring, you couldn’t be better placed with the trendy Ribeira quarter on your doorstep, brimming with authentic restaurants, hip bars and enchanting wine cellars. Culture seekers will love the São Francisco Church domes and Old Town markets nearby. Walk across the Luis I Bridge, one that provides a panoramic perspective of both banks of the river, allowing you to see exquisite details of the city that you would miss from the ground. Whatever you plan to see, pencil in a moment for simply sitting back and relishing in the beautifully crafted sanctuary of your own home.
