Paint The Tiles Blue

Paint The Tiles Blue: Porto

Take a stroll around Porto, and something will immediately jump out at you – those shimmering, blue glazed azulejo tiles. They adorn many of the city's structures, transforming them from beautiful buildings into something truly extraordinary. You'll spot them at the cathedral, Terreiro da Sé and São Bento Station, all around a fifteen-minute stroll away. And if you're as taken by them as we are, we think you'll love staying in this home.

This large, modern apartment in Porto's Bolhão takes a playful twist on these historic tiles, with geometric blue, white and black tiling in the kitchen, and floor-to-ceiling turquoise tiles in the five ensuite bathrooms. You'll also love it because it celebrates that other delectable element of Porto's DNA – food. The aforementioned kitchen in this home is state of the art – your host Rui puts on an incredible breakfast spread each day, and he can even hook you up with one of the best foodie tours in the city – simply delicious.
