A Little Blue Sky

A Little Blue Sky: Porto

Perfect for small groups seeking an immersive city break, this apartment places Vila Nova De Gaia's port wine cellars, cafes, and restaurants within walking distance. You're not far from the Douro, and Porto's buzzing city centre sits just on the other side. It's not within walking distance, but public transport is nearby. It's fuss-free and practical – and our favourite spot is the balcony. There aren't any views to speak of, but it still makes for a sweet spot to enjoy sundowners or a glass of Port wine. With one free parking space in the private garage, road trips are an option – whether driving to sandy beaches or escaping the hustle and bustle.

Home truths:
*Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay. There's also a chance you'll be able to hear your neighbours. *There’s a free parking space in the private garage here. *It feels a little dated in the bathrooms. The traditional decor here might not be to everyone's taste. *You'll receive complimentary toiletries to use during your stay, although other basic supplies are lacking. We suggest stocking up on essentials at the nearby supermarket. *You'll need to pick up the keys from the host's office in the city centre. *If you're travelling for business, there isn't a desk here. However, the dining table doubles as a laptop-friendly workspace.
