Luz Calma

Luz Calma: Porto

This stylish studio apartment offers an ideal base for solo travellers or couples looking for a calm, bright stay within easy reach of Porto’s most celebrated sights.

Though compact, the space has been curated with a keen eye for design, with tall windows allowing plenty of sunlight to flow in, and a pared-back contemporary decor that feels wonderfully welcoming. We love the soothing pops of blue and green in the furnishings and artwork, creating a space that feels instantly inviting. Start mornings with a relaxing soak under the bathroom’s rainfall shower before enjoying fresh coffee and pastéis de nata around the chic dining table. At night, the comfortable bed beckons a restful night’s sleep, sure to leave you ready for another day of sightseeing adventure.

Speaking of exploring, make time to visit the beautifully tiled Chapel of Souls – a thirteen-minute walk away – as well as the incredibly ornate Livraria Lello bookshop, twenty minutes away on foot. You’re also an eighteen-minute walk from the Igreja do Carmo, a twenty-three-minute stroll from Porto Cathedral, while bustling Cais da Ribeira is just under thirty minutes away on foot, or twenty-five minutes by Metro.
