This minimalist pad in Matosinhos is perfect for those seeking sand and the city. Located just outside Porto, you'll need to travel to reach the city’s landmarks. That said, with the Brito Capelo metro station, just steps away, transporting into the city is a breeze. The apartment may be on the simple side, but it offers a practical space for work or relaxation. Pick up a selection of produce at Mercado Municipal de Matosinhos, then return home to your minimal apartment for a light lunch. Fire off emails from the desk when work calls, then sign out for an afternoon on Matosinhos Beach.
