This unique home in the heart of Porto is bursting with charm and style. Perfect for couples or solo travellers who have an eye for design, it's a brilliant place to begin your adventures in the city. Set over two floors, you can enjoy plenty of peace and quiet high above the hustle and bustle, and the views over the orange rooftops are to die for. The pièce de résistance is the gorgeous skylight that floods the apartment with natural light, and there are plenty of other features to love, like the high ceilings and furnishings by young Portuguese designers. And, when you get hungry, you can whip up your favourite dishes in the smart kitchen using fresh, local ingredients from Mercado do Bolhão, a fifteen-minute walk away. A five-minute stroll will bring you to the baroque Clérigos Tower, and the impressive Porto Cathedral is only ten minutes away. Book lovers will be in heaven at Livraria Lello, the legendary bookshop that's just a seven-minute wander away. And, if you walk through Ribeira, the old town, you'll arrive at the Duoro River, where you can hop on a boat and admire the city from the water.

Local guide
About Miragaia
Situated to the west of the city centre, and leading down to the Douro river, Miragaia is a jumble of medieval streets. Like Ribeira, it has brightly coloured buildings and sweeping views over the water. But unlike the city’s main riverside hub, Miragaia is tucked away from the usual tourist trails. In the evenings its restaurant and bar scene thrives, but it’s generally calmer area, with a strong local population...
