This apartment in the centre of Porto puts you within striking distance of the banks of the Douro River, the cathedral and the endless bars and restaurants of the historic old quarter. In just ten minutes you can be at the riverside on foot, where the old wine warehouses of the city cluster. Or stick to the immediate streets to discover baroque churches, traditional restaurants and lively bars. Inside, it feels as though this place has been decorated with care and attention to every detail. Velvet, mid-century sofas and chairs brighten up the living room, which is already illuminated by natural light from long windows. Scalloped chairs are a classy touch to the dining table. Throw open the windows to make a Juliet-style balcony, and watch the bustle of the street below. What’s more, you can catch the sunset over the rooftops from this spot.

About Batalha
