Golden Blush: Porto

Step into this Porto apartment for the first time, and you’ll feel happiness bubble up inside you. As you set your suitcases down, take in the bright and welcoming open-plan space as sunlight spills in through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Rustle up a meal for two, settle down at the dining table, uncork a bottle of wine, and enjoy dinner with your loved one as you watch the world go by. When weariness sets in from your travels, your comfortable bed will be a welcome relief. The bedroom oozes class – we love the splashes of gold and wall of glass, flooding light into the space and highlighting the elegant feature wall.

When you’re ready to explore the city, a visit to Livraria Lello is a must for bookworms in particular. One of the most famous bookshops in the world, said to have inspired J.K. Rowling to write Harry Potter, the winding staircase and stained glass window make this the most magical experience, and one that you’ll treasure forever.

Home truths:
*Parking in Porto can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to the easily accessible public transport where possible – though we think the best way to see the city is on foot *The entrance to this home is shared with the building's other residents *This home is in a central spot, so noise is to be expected *Though there isn't a dedicated desk here, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace *There are no windows that can be opened in the bedroom
