Over The Rooftops

Over The Rooftops: Porto

In the heart of the lively Sé neighbourhood, this minimalist apartment is an ideal base for those looking to explore the riches of Lisbon. You're a quick stroll from many of the historical sights, including the 18th-century Igreja de Santo Ildefonso (five minutes) and Clérigos Tower (fourteen minutes), while the striking Livraria Lello bookshop and scenic Cais da Ribeira are easily walkable.

Inside, the decor in the living room is simple, but there are some stylish touches, like the vibrant artwork adorning the walls and modern breakfast bar. But the real showstopper here is the private balcony overlooking the city's iconic tiled rooftops – it's the perfect spot for your morning coffees and evening cocktails.

Home truths:
*At capacity, one person will be sleeping on a sofa bed in the living room
*The balcony only offers seating for two guests
*The kitchenette is better suited to lighter bites than large meals
*Though there isn't a dedicated desk here, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace
*There's no lift access to the apartment, so it may not be suitable for those with limited mobility
*This home is in a central spot, so noise is to be expected
