This compact yet well-considered apartment in the heart of Porto is an ideal place to relax and recharge after a day of sightseeing. Inside, neutral tones combine to create a feeling of calm. Make yourself at home with an espresso on the comfy sofa before tucking into a tasty pastry on your private balcony.
When you’re ready to head out, begin with a trip to São Bento Station, famous for its blue-and-white tiles depicting scenes of Portuguese history – it’s only 300 metres away. Pick up a new coffee table book in the emblematic Livraria Lello then enjoy views of the Dom Luís Bridge from a cafe on the bustling Cais da Ribeira. If all that exploring has worked up an appetite, treat yourself to a francesinha (Portugal’s answer to the croque-monsieur) in a nearby eatery.
