Dragon's Lair

With its sharp lines, monochrome palette, and thoughtful design features, this home is for connoisseurs of contemporary design.

After busy days in the bustle of Porto, slide back the private balcony doors of your apartment and pad straight out to the shared pool and gardens – you'll have direct access. It's a great spot to enjoy a few sundowners and take in those impressive views of the nearby Dragão Stadium. Or up the ante with a few laps in the pool or a workout in the shared gym. And when it's time to bank a peaceful night's sleep, retreat indoors where a sleek pocket door closes off the bedroom to create a cosy haven for two.

Beyond this stylish home, you're just a hop, skip, and a jump from the metro (nine minutes on foot) for exploring other corners of the city –downtown Porto is less than twenty minutes away. Or do like the locals in this residential district and head to Parque de São Roque (five minutes on foot) for lazy picnics in the vast, established gardens and fun and games in its hedge maze.
