Honey Hued Moments

Calling all foodies – this charming flat in Bolhão is just steps away from some of Porto's most delicious restaurants and cafes. Situated in Praça dos Poveiros, this is the local's go-to gathering place for good food, free-flowing drinks and laughter-packed conversations. There's no shortage of spots here to wine and dine the night away, but that's not the only reason we love this location. You're close to almost everything – stroll three minutes and visit the blue-tiled Igreja de Santo Ildefonso, wander ten to reach Avenida dos Aliados or head down to the riverfront and walk along the Ribeira, thirteen minutes away.

The apartment itself is as cosy as can be. We're swooning over the period features – traditional shuttered windows, high ceilings and crown moulding are just a few of our favourite details. A quaint Juliet balcony overlooks the hustle and bustle below – the perfect spot for a morning coffee – while the comfy sofa beckons after a long day on your feet. If you need to work from home, you can even set up shop at the dining table as the sunlight streams into the living area. While we wouldn't suggest rustling up a feast in the kitchen, it's perfectly suited to lighter bites – and besides, with so many mouth-watering eateries on your doorstep, we doubt you'll get up to much cooking.

Home truths:
*This home is on the first floor without a lift *A cot for little ones can be provided on request *The kitchen is compact – we think it's better suited to lighter bites than large meals *While the living space and bedrooms are quite stylish, the bathroom could do with updating *There's no washing machine here – the nearest laundromat is a five-minute walk away *It's possible you may hear some noise from neighbours during your stay *This apartment building has a shared entrance – please note that there’s no reception in the building *If needed, the dining table doubles as a laptop-friendly workspace *Included with your stay are weekly linen and towel changes every seven days
