From its wood floors to its stylish contemporary decor and large windows, this apartment offers a bright and welcoming base for those looking to explore the Porto's many sights. We love the chicly minimalist design here with its neutral palette offset by vibrant pops of yellow, as well as the large interpretative portrait of Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring. Whether you’re kicking back on the sofa with a glass of Portuguese wine after a busy day of sightseeing or gathering around the table for a home-cooked meal when you’re not out sampling the local food scene, you’ll love spending time in this stylish space. There’s a desk space here too should you need to catch up on any work. With a carefully curated bedroom beckoning a restful night’s sleep, as well as a luxurious rainfall shower to wake up to each morning, you’ve got everything you need for a carefree stay. As far as sightseeing is concerned, you’ve got plenty from which to choose. Visit the blue and white tiled Chapel of Souls a seventeen-minute walk away, or peruse the ornate Livraria Lello bookshop, twenty-two minutes away on foot. You’re also a seventeen-minute Metro ride from Porto Cathedral, while bustling Cais da Ribeira is also reachable by Metro in twenty-three minutes.
