Ideally located in the heart of history-steeped Porto, this design-led apartment is the perfect place to recharge after a busy day spent sightseeing. You’ll certainly want for nothing here – the comfy bed provides great sleep night after night and the super fast wi-fi ensures stress-free remote working. What’s more, there’s a fully-equipped kitchenette – ideal for those who like to do their own cooking. If you’d prefer to eat out, however, you’re just a short stroll from a number of excellent restaurants. Tick off the city’s most iconic attractions including the Livraria Lello, Igreja do Carmo and Palácio da Bolsa. In the late afternoon, enjoy a riverside wine before heading up to the Miradouro do Infante viewpoint to watch the sun set behind the terracotta rooftops.
