Sea of Serenity

Perfectly positioned to explore the best that Porto has to offer – and believe us, there's a lot – this stunning studio apartment makes for an unmatched couple's retreat in the centre of the city.

Ride the lift up to the apartment and drop your bags at the door as you get acquainted with your new home. On entry, you'll immediately note the calm and tranquil atmosphere thanks to the beautiful blue colour scheme and excellent soundproofing, which keeps street noise at bay.

In addition to a sleek kitchen and stylish dining area, there's a magnificent four-poster bed, a comfy sofa to sink into, and outdoor access courtesy of a spacious balcony where you can sit out with your morning coffee and watch the world go by.

Down at street level, you're just 200m from Santa Catarina, the city's main shopping centre, and a five-minute walk from Mercado do Bolhão, where locals come to pick up local produce. The surrounding neighbourhood is lined with fantastic restaurants and speakeasy-style bars, so you won't have to travel far for nighttime entertainment.
