With a spacious balcony, garage parking, and a refined interior, this apartment is designed for those who want comfort, style, and a touch of the extraordinary. The Space: Step into a bright and contemporary living area where every detail has been carefully chosen from the soft tones of the furnishings to the clean lines of the open-plan kitchen. Both bedrooms offer a tranquil escape, one with direct access to the balcony and skyline views, the other cozy and quiet, ideal for restful nights. The kitchen is fully equipped, perfect for preparing meals before dining on the balcony or relaxing in the living room with a glass of wine as the sun sets over the Douro. A garage space is included, and guests can also use the shared laundry facilities available in the building. Guest Access: All house space and amenities are included in this booking. Feel completely at home. The Neighborhood: This residential area of Gaia is calm and elevated, literally. From here, you’ll enjoy a privileged vantage point over Porto, yet remain close to the city’s pulse. A short ride takes you to the historic centre, the world-famous Port wine cellars, or the beach. The surrounding area includes local cafés, grocery shops, and peaceful green spaces, ideal for a morning walk or jog.
