Pastel Paradise

Situated in arty Cedofeita, this small but stylish studio is a perfect base for those looking to experience all that Porto has to offer. You’re within touching distance of some of the city’s must-see attractions here – think Mercado do Bolhão and Porto City Hall – but we wouldn’t blame you if you wanted to check out the local hotspots instead. Go for a stroll through Rua Miguel Bombarda’s contemporary galleries, tuck into a fresh pastry at an up-and-coming café, or shop ‘til you drop at Cedofeita’s vintage clothing stores. Whatever your vibe, this place has got you covered.

When you’ve had your fill of being out and about, you’ll come home to a gorgeous apartment that has everything you need for a comfortable stay in Portugal’s second-largest city. What this place lacks in size, it makes up for in style, effortlessly blending old-school architecture with modern design to make this a home you’ll be more than happy to linger in. Rustle up a Portuguese-inspired evening meal in the kitchen, then treat yourself to a glass or two of tawny port at the dining table before turning in for the night. Safe to say, your dreams will be very sweet indeed.
