Description Going to See the Riverman: Valbom

Overlooking the Duoro River, this sleek, modern apartment sits just outside Porto. It’s a brand new apartment with a slick, minimalist interior and a big terrace overlooking the river. Shaded from the heat of the day and furnished with sofas and armchairs, the terrace is the perfect spot for a cold drink and a good book, watching the boats drift down the Duoro. Crisp white walls let the view take pride of place in the living room, where glass sliding doors can blend the terrace with the comfy seating inside. There’s dining for the whole group in here too, complementing the dine-in kitchen next door.

For days in the city, hop in the car and be in the heart of Porto in ten minutes. From here, you can take a cruise down the Duoro River, explore the old wine warehouses and discover the city’s ancient cathedrals and churches in the old town.
