Perfectly pitched, with sweeping views of the Douro River at its mercy, this charming apartment will have you experiencing Porto in a convenient and serene environment. Days begin clutching your morning coffee out on the private balcony, taking in the tiled facades and shimmering sea views. Stepping inside, it's a lovingly curated space with soft furnishings, paintings, an original log burner and decorative touches that add a real sense of homeliness to the place. Cleverly designed to maximise the abundant natural light and dazzling vistas off the balcony, the open-plan living space and dining area faces the perpetual river. Elsewhere, the bedroom is a stylish affair with calm orange tones that will soothe the soul after a day down at the beach. Speaking of, fill your afternoons here with sunbathing and swimming at Praia do Carneiro's vast golden sands and crystal-clear waters. You're a short walk from Foz do Douro's waterfront promenade, boasting a variety of excellent restaurants, lively cafe-bars and popular markets for your evening's entertainment. We also recommend the 17th-century Castelo do Queijo fortress nearby for those in town for sightseeing.
