Only Good Vibes

Holiday Rental Description

You can’t get a location much better than this - nestled in Porto’s Marquês, this stylish apartment is an idyllic base for solo travellers or couples seeking a quiet retreat from which to spring off for cultural days out.

With playful finishes, from the neon artwork adorning the faux growing wall, to the thoughtful choice of contemporary lighting, it is at once effortlessly cool and cosy. The combination of wood and glossy white surfaces, mixed with bold design elements create a fresh feeling of tranquillity. Enjoy your morning coffee at the charming wooden breakfast bar, or take an afternoon siesta, opening up the large windows to invite the soft breeze in.

Coffee-fuelled, step out of your apartment onto the tree-lined boulevard and hop onto the bus for a sixteen-minute ride to admire the architecture of Rem Koolhaas’s Casa da Música. We think lunch is well spent at Apego - this stone-walled bistro offers Portuguese-accented dishes with a focus on innovation and seasonality. Spend the afternoon exploring one of the world’s top art institutions, Fundação Serralves or marvel at the lavish fountains and Duoro River views from Jardins do Palácio de Cristal.
