Sitting by the Orange Trees: Porto

For those seeking a comfortable base while visiting the beautiful city of Porto, this bright studio apartment situated in the elegant Bolhão district is just the place. Blending lovely traditional style with contemporary convenience, this home offers a relaxing stay, perfect for a romantic getaway or a solo traveller wanting to make the most out of all that this vibrant city has in store.

While the space is compact here, there’s more than ample room for lovely evenings on the comfy sofa, enjoying movies and a glass of wine in great company. The place gets plenty of natural light flooding in through the windows and the tastefully decorated interior and stone features make for a really nice ambience. Rustle up delicious meals in the well-equipped kitchen area and share them at the dining table. You may also opt for some alfresco dining and drinks out in the communal garden.

For a night of sweet dreams and restful sleep you’ll have a soft and comfy bed – wake up restored and ready for a day of exploring. The area outside your front door is filled with gorgeous sights and excellent dining options, and you can easily visit Porto Cathedral or stroll through the exquisite Avenida dos Aliados, both a short walk away. You can also have an idyllic beach day at Foz do Douro, just four miles away.
