Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
An open, social living area and soothing, minimalist bedrooms make this the perfect haven in the city of Porto. Located in the centre of the city, it’s within walking distance of train stations, restaurants, and the Douro River, where the many port houses near the Dom Luís I Bridge are waiting to be discovered. The decor is minimalist but, most importantly, everything is spotlessly clean and the high ceilings make the spaces feel serene. A slender, curved balcony overlooks the street below, if you fancy a spot of people-watching. There are some optional add-ons such a breakfast, airport transfers and food tours so if you're looking to feel pampered, you're in the right place.
