If you want your city break to have a side of relaxation and luxury, this is the holiday home for you. This gorgeous duplex sits in a lovely spot close to the River Douro, offering beautiful views across the water. As soon as you arrive, you’ll be drawn out to the balcony, where – if you’re anything like us – you’ll tuck into breakfast each day, and round things off by watching the sunset with a glass of wine. It’s an idyllic spot. Inside, the apartment is just as striking. Exposed stone walls and dark wood furniture combine with floor-to-ceiling windows to stunning effect, and everything you need is close to hand. Cook local dishes in the kitchen and dine in together, opening up the balcony doors to merge the indoor and outdoor spaces for cocktail hour. When you want to see more of Porto, you’ll find that you’re within easy walking distance of all of the major sights and attractions. You’ll never want to leave this classy and convenient home.
