This is a beautifully presented, bright and comfortable property, right on the edge of the historic heart of Porto. Having a swimming pool (and a substantial garden) in such a central area of the city was an absolute highlight for me in the warm summer weather. The pool was big enough to relax in and deep enough at one end that I couldn’t touch the bottom.
There are 9 self-contained apartments in this traditional property; mine was at the front with beautiful shuttered windows to the street, but the area is very quiet at night. The property celebrates its heritage but is super clean and equipped with modern facilities. (The air conditioning was so quiet and efficient that it’s difficult to know if it is on.)
Ruis provided a useful folder with a guide to local shops, amenities an transport and instructions for the property. In addition to a fridge, microwave, cooking hob and kitchen essentials there are many thoughtful and practical touches such as a first aid kit for emergencies, towels for the pool and a capsule coffee machine with coffee capsules.
If arriving from the airport, take the metro to Lapa. The property is about 12 minutes walk from there.
I would be delighted to stay here again.
