Clérigos Retreat

Situated in Porto's Baixa district, this city bolthole sets you up for a practical stay in the heart of the action. From here, many of the top attractions are within easy walking distance, including Clérigos Tower, Igreja do Carmo, and Livraria Lello, with the Aliados Metro stop a five-minute stroll away. While there are space limitations here, the home features a handy kitchenette suitable for preparing light bites – though there's no oven. The dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace, ideal for those on business trips. And, the private balcony is a great spot to enjoy a beer and some fresh air.

Home truths:
*As this is a studio apartment, the bedroom and living space are one and the same. Space limitations should be expected.
*You won't find an oven here – though there is a hob. We think the kitchen is better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.
*There's no washing machine or dryer here.
*You'll need to climb stairs to reach the entrance of the home.
*If you're travelling for work, you won't find a dedicated desk here. However, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace.
*Parking in Porto can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to easily accessible public transport where possible.
