Set in the lush grounds of Canto De Luz, one of Porto's most loved Boutique Hotels, this luxury eco-villa is a modern architectural marvel. A stay here is the best of both worlds – 5-star hotel luxury (breakfast is served in the hotel’s orangery or your garden every morning, and there’s a daily housekeeping service) combined with the privacy of your own villa. The villa’s interior is contemporary cool with wooden floors, Scandi-style furniture and floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the rooms with light. Lovely as it is, you’ll spend most of your time outdoors in the beautifully landscaped garden, complete with private saltwater pool and an in-water lounge area that’s perfect for little guests. In the heart of the old town in a quiet cobbled street, the location couldn’t be better either. Spend your days exploring Porto’s historic centre, riverfront, and quirky antique shops and cafes. In the evenings, you’re spoilt for choice, with a wealth of restaurants on your doorstep. Enjoy a delicious meal in the balmy night air, before strolling back for a nightcap or port (what else?) on the terrace.
