Rooftop Romeo

Rooftop Romeo: Porto

Drop off your bags and make a beeline straight for this apartment's private rooftop terrace – it's a real standout. Complete with sun loungers and comfortable outdoor lounge space, plus a barbecue and dining area for alfresco meals, we can think of no better place to relax. Inside, the home's interiors aren't the most inspiring, although it's bright and tasteful. Location-wise, you're within easy walking distance of many of Porto's most celebrated attractions, including the Church of Saint Ildefonso, Clérigos Tower, and Livraria Lello. On top of that, it's a short tram ride down to Cais da Ribeira for romantic dinners and evening cocktails by the waterfront.
