A stylish and well equipped penthouse apartment in a prime location from which to explore all that Porto has to offer. We walked everywhere and it was easy to get around and enjoy the architecture, history and of course the gastronomy of this delightful city. So many wonderful restaurants, so little time!
The pictures of the apartment\are accurate, it is modern, tastefully decorated, light and comfortable. It is on the top floor of an old apartment building next to the Dom Luis bridge and five minutes walk through cobbled streets to the Ribeira district and the river. Stunning views of the city and the Se do Porto Cathedral from the balcony from which we viewed sun rises and sun sets with coffee/port.
There is a handy grocery store next door for essentials. The Sao Bento metro station is within easy walking distance and it is about 40 minutes on the metro to/from the airport. Claudia and Mario have left a drawer full of tourist brochures and maps as well as restaurant recommendations (we tried two and they were excellent). It is well worth booking restaurants in advance if you want to be sure of getting in. We were glad we did. We walked from the apartment to Foz, along the river path, stopping for the occasional Super Bock on the way and then caught the tram back. It was a lovely day out.
We had a fabulous time and felt at home in the city with a great place to come back to in the evening before heading out again to sample more Portuguese food, wine and hospitality. You will love it!
