We can't think of a better way to wake up in Porto than face-to-face with the sparkling flow of the Douro River. Lucky for you, this stylish home promises just that. Positioned in the heart of downtown and perched on the first floor, it achieves the seemingly paradoxical feat of feeling delightfully peaceful and right at the heart of it all. It sits between two gorgeous green spaces, the Jardim da Cordoaria and Jardim das Virtudes – the latter, according to our local informants, is the perfect spot for enjoying a cold beer at sunset. With its open-plan layout, cloaked in warm tones, clean-cut lines and timber-clad decor, this home's Japanese-inspired interior exudes tranquillity. It has all the bells and whistles for a want-for-nothing stay, including a cosy lounge, a fully-equipped kitchen and a handy workspace for catching up on projects between adventures. Ushering in floods of sunlight, a pair of original floor-to-ceiling French doors reveal a charming balcony, beckoning you to unwind in the sunshine. After a restful slumber, spend mornings roosted here, sipping coffee in the gentle riverside breeze before slipping out to explore. You're surrounded by hip dining and drinking venues, not to mention an array of landmarks, including the iconic Clérigos Tower, just four minutes away on foot.
