Postcard from Porto

Check into this sleek Porto bolt hole, boasting an all-too-rare private terrace and perched just a one-minute hop, skip, and a jump away from the metro.

Sunny mornings call for lazy breakfasts on your private terrace. Or you can always beat the heat inside at the dining table, where everything feels fresh, uplifting, and flooded with natural light, thanks to those balcony doors in both the living area and the bedroom.

Part of a slick serviced-apartment building, you'll want for nothing here and is well-equipped for guests looking to stay in the city for a longer spell. There's even an underground garage for those arriving into the city by car –⁠ a rare thing in a town where parking is scarce.

When it's time to dive into the city's sights, you could stay local – there are plenty of authentic bars and eateries to get your fix of pastel de natas and petiscos (that's Portuguese sharing plates to us). Or blaze a trail to the grandiose Aliados Avenue (a seventeen-minute stroll) and a little further, the postcard-pretty waterfront of Cais da Ribeira (thirty-five minutes on foot) for a spot of lunch and people watching.
