This beautifully equipped home sits in the heart of Porto's old town and provides a stylish base for duos and solo travellers. From this sought-after location, the city's main sights are within easy reach on foot, including the iconic Clérigos Tower, just a six-minute walk away. Right on your doorstep is the gloriously green Virtudes Park, a popular haunt amongst locals for its spectacular city views. After a day of sightseeing, bring a few cold beers here and watch the sunset over the terracotta-tiled rooftops. A pastel-hued facade, dating back to the early twentieth century, provides the framework for this chic home. Step inside and discover an exquisitely renovated interior, striking the perfect balance between authentic charm and contemporary comfort. It's delightfully spacious, with lofty beam-clad ceilings, a thoughtful open-plan layout and heaps of natural light, and we especially love the cosy mezzanine bedroom. Fitted with all the bells and whistles for a want-for-nothing stay, including a dedicated workspace and a fully-equipped kitchen, you'll love kicking back here between adventures.

In the evenings its restaurant and bar scene thrives, but it’s generally calmer area, with a strong local population...
