Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
If you're looking for a comfortable base in a quieter neighbourhood of Porto, this apartment in São Roque da Lameira is thoughtfully designed to enrich your city stay. We think it makes an ideal base for all kinds of trips – be it with family, friends, solo, or for a business excursion. Wake up in one of the pared-back bedrooms adorned with modern prints and colourful textiles before sipping your morning coffee at the sleek dining table as you plan the day’s itinerary. Hop in the car, if you’re bringing one, and head into the city to explore or take the bus and admire the sights along the way. Don't miss out on the chance to admire some of the beautiful churches, including the Trinity or the striking Nossa Senhora da Conceição, or why not head to one of the city’s many art galleries? If you’re not dining in one of the authentic eateries, whip up a Portuguese meal back home in your modern kitchen with some produce you picked up from The Bolhão Market. After dinner, recline in the inviting living area and swap stories about the day's adventures.

Local guide
About Bonfim
Bonfim is a neighbourhood where you can really blend in and live like a local. It’s not at all overrun by tourists. It was formerly an industrial area, and in parts the architecture still bears traces of this. There’s a real mix of local businesses as well as trendy cafes and restaurants — a good fit for families or groups after a low-key base not too far from the centre....
