On the Heels of Porto

Situated in a quiet neighbourhood, this charming home offers a little slice of tranquillity on the outskirts of vibrant Porto. Bathed in natural light, courtesy of the generous windows and use of partition glass to separate the spaces, this sleek home holds a real charm. A small balcony and the cosy terrace areas give you the opportunity to indulge in the Portuguese sun from the comfort of your own home, while the modern kitchen is ready and waiting to put your culinary skills to the test when you fancy a quiet evening in. Pair your meal with a local port, and enjoy the flow of conversation with loved ones over dinner. Afterwards, the sofa welcomes you to sink into it and relax into a movie night – but with plenty of quiet nooks around this home, if you’re not in the mood for a film you can easily find somewhere to settle down to get lost in your holiday read.

A mere twenty-minute drive and you’ll find yourself in the heart of Porto where you can visit the Cathedral, marvel at the stately bridges or simply stroll the cobbled streets, stopping off at merchants’ houses and the odd cafe for a little sustenance. However you spend your time in this beautiful city, you’ll make treasured memories that will last long after you’ve returned home.
