When it comes to location, this central apartment can’t be matched. Just a five-minute walk from the Clérigos Tower, a six-minute stroll from the beautifully ornate Livraria Lello bookshop and Porto Cathedral sitting thirteen minutes away on foot, you’ve got the best of the city’s history and culture within easy reach. Inside the apartment, you’ll find a sociable laid-back living area decked out in contemporary furnishings, with a sofa inviting luxurious lounging and a dining table beckoning celebratory meals when you’re not out sampling the local restaurant scene. Open up the glass doors here to step out onto a private balcony – the ideal spot to enjoy your morning coffee overlooking a leafy courtyard below. With a pared-back, comfortable bedroom to boot, as well as a relaxing rainfall shower to get any day off on the right foot, you’re all set for a carefree stay.
