About this property
Santa Catarina Rooftop with City Views
Summary:
Stay in a stylish corner apartment in the heart of Porto, with everything within walking distance: cafés, shops, and top sights right at your doorstep.
Spacious and bright, this 2 bedroom apartment is ideal for families and groups, combining comfort with a refined, modern design.
Featuring furniture and ceramics crafted in Portugal, each space offers an authentic local touch in a premium setting.
The Space:
The Santa Catarina homes are owned by our good friend Francisco that has embraced the mission to renovate classical old buildings in Porto’s downtown. Francisco is a modern romantic – you can find him driving an electric scooter around the city or starring at a facade detail in one of Porto’s historical buildings.
We furnished, decorated and stocked the apartment with products made by young Portuguese designers, artists and producers, so you can feel Porto’s heart without leaving home, while supporting small scale entrepreneurs.
Guest Access:
The apartment accommodates up to 4 people and has all amenities needed for you to feel at home.
We can provide a baby cot upon request.
The Neighborhood:
You will be in the center of downtown Porto, with all the points worth visiting just a few minutes away on foot.
Other Things to Note:
Porto is to be lived hitting the streets and getting lost in its secrets.
Each of us experiences a city in different ways. Tell us what you are looking for and we’ll make sure you get the best recommendations.
Send us your questions/requests so that all you need to worry during your stay is whether you should extend your vacations for a couple of days more...
If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking.

Superb Location
Wonderful stay. The home could not be better located. A short walk to the city center and the home is adjacent to a very cool pedestrian street lined with shopping and eateries.

Perfect everything!
Property management was top notch! Location was perfect! Right at the edge of all the action but not in the middle of the chaos. Close to restaurants, grocery stores, shopping and sights. Easy to be dropped off by Uber right at the location. Apartment was great! Very clean, had everything we needed and more! All nice and new looking.

We absolutely loved the apartment and were immediately sad we’d only booked for three days. Everything was perfect. And the wine bar was sensational

Perfect Apartment Perfect Location
We got a personal greeting by Ines who showed us around how to operate appliances and lots of tips for our visit. The location is perfect, while right on pedestrian route in central porto was very quiet except for the afternoon and early evening street musicians who are quite good. We enjoyed this from ourfabulous rooftop balcony each day with cheese and good Portuguese wines. There are 6 flights of stairs but it helps you work off all the great food we enjoyed. Ines even helped with our luggage as part of the personal greeting. We had a few inquiries during our stay which were very quickly responded to. Great stay!

Awesome apartment!
Beautiful, spacious, modern apartment. The only potential drawback is it’s on the 3rd floor and no elevator. Could be challenging for some, especially with heavy luggage.
