Situated on Rua Miguel Bombarda, renowned for its endless selection of art galleries, design boutiques and vintage shops, this studio apartment is an excellent choice for creative types looking to spend time in Porto’s trendiest neighbourhood. Inside, the space has been expertly curated and thoughtfully presented, ensuring you have enough room to relax and recharge. Begin your mornings with a cimbalino (espresso) on the plump sofa before putting together a tasty breakfast in the sleek kitchenette. Enjoy on your private balcony as you plan your day’s agenda. Wiggle through the cobbled streets of Miragaia to the Jardim da Cordoaria for a picnic. Once you’re refuelled and raring to go, visit the Igreja do Carmo for its famous tiled façade and Cais da Riberia, a twenty-minute walk away, to watch the boats drift along the river. Head home in the late afternoon to soak up the last of the sunshine from your hanging egg chair with a well-deserved glass of Port in hand.

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...
