Stylishly modern and wonderfully bright, this studio-style apartment offers a comfortable base from which to explore Porto and its many cultural sights.

Inside, wood floors, a contemporary, boho decor and ample natural light create a warm welcome in the open-plan living area. Open the glass door here to step out onto a private balcony – the ideal spot to enjoy your morning coffee and some locally bought pastéis de nata, or to sip a glass of Portuguese wine at sunset while enjoying the balmy breeze.

Back inside, a desk space is on hand should you need to catch up on work, while the dining table beckons intimate soirées at home when you’re not out sampling the local restaurant scene. With a simple yet cosy bedroom to fall asleep in too at the end of a busy day of exploring, you’re all set for a carefree time.

Outside of your home, you’ve got a plethora of historic hotspots to visit, including the beautifully tiled Chapel of Souls (a twenty-minute walk), the Mercado do Bolhão (a twenty-two-minute walk), and the Igreja de Santo Ildefonso (a twenty-minute walk).
