Portuguese Embrace

Portuguese Embrace: Porto

With an address on Porto's vibrant Rua de Santa Catarina, you'll have access to plenty of shops and restaurants. There's a variety of attractions within walking distance, too. We love the sunroom at this home – it means you can enjoy Porto's sunshine any time of year. The kitchen is compact, with no oven, but there is a hob, microwave, and a coffee machine. Also, at full capacity, two people will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living space, which might make it a bit cramped. Otherwise, this home is a decent bolthole in this beautiful city.

Home truths:
*Guests three and four would be on a sofa bed in the living room – if you're looking for a home with ample space for socialising, we'd recommend this home for two guests only.
*You won't find an oven here – though there is a hob and microwave. We think the kitchen is better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.
*There's a small desk in the bedroom, if you need to catch up on emails while away.
