Located in Vila Nova de Gaia – just a fifteen-minute walk from Porto’s centre – this compact apartment offers a cosy getaway with rooftop views from its private balcony. Despite being laid over two floors, there’s not a tonne of space here. But a sofa bed in the living area offers flexible sleeping arrangements and the upstairs bedroom provides access to the outdoor area. While you’ll find a public car park nearby, we recommend exploring Porto on foot or by public transport instead, with the nearby Luís I Bridge leading to bustling Cais da Ribeira and beyond.
