Candied Fig: Porto

Bright and modern, this studio apartment packs a decorative punch with its tall windows, carefully curated art and minimalist design. Taking centre stage is a beautifully dressed bed, promising a restful night’s sleep, while the bathroom’s luxurious rainfall shower is sure to get any day off on the right foot.

Gather together for coffee and pastéis de nata at the chic table or sit down to a celebratory meal made with fresh produce from the Mercado do Bolhão (a thirteen-minute walk away) when you’re not out sampling the local restaurant scene.

You’re ideally placed too to make the most out of Porto’s historic and cultural sights, with the blue and white tiled Chapel of Souls a thirteen-minute walk and the ornate Livraria Lello bookshop a twenty-minute stroll away. Elsewhere, you’re an eighteen-minute walk from the Igreja do Carmo, a twenty-three-minute stroll from Porto Cathedral, while bustling Cais da Ribeira – on the Douro River waterfront – is just under twenty-five minutes away by Metro.
