Around twenty minutes away from some of the most iconic Porto landmarks, this trendy home’s location is advantageous in more than one way. Not only will you be able to quite easily find your way to Bolsa Palace, Porto Cathedral, and some of the more ornate churches scattered across this little coastal city, but walk right out of this home and across the road to find a delectable bakery. With morning pastries in hand, you’re free to brew a coffee in the small kitchenette and climb right back into bed to have a lazy morning with your favourite tv show as the sun begins to stream in through the large windows. If you need to catch up on emails before heading out for the day, you can sit down at the little desk – inspired writers can also use this space to draft an ode to the city, preferably with a glass of port as a muse. With restaurants and bars surrounding all within walking distance, you can enjoy a night on the town before returning home for a rain shower and a great night’s sleep.

About Batalha
Directly south of Bolhão and its famous market, Batalha is an inner-city area that borders on the historic centres of Baixa and Ribeira.
