Sip a glass of port wine on this home's private terrace right next to Porto's must-see landmarks and cultural hotspots. With its shaded lounge area and dining table, you'll enjoy sunny breakfasts and sunset dinners out here. This home is ideal for a couple, business professional or young family. Inside, it's a modern apartment with plenty of soul and character, due to the exposed beam ceilings and wood floors. Relax with a cup of coffee and a pastel de nata in the comfortable living space, dressed in stylish furnishings and vibrant pops of yellow. Heaps of natural sunlight pour in through the sliding glass doors that can be opened up to make for seamless contemporary living. When it's time to head out, the ornate Livraria Lello bookshop is right on your doorstep, or walk to Clérigos Tower in just a few minutes – the striking church bells can be seen from various points of the city and are considered something of a characteristic symbol. It's a short stroll to the Palácio da Bolsa and the Cais da Ribeira along the riverfront, teeming with excellent restaurants and cocktail bars.
