The 12 best Airbnbs in Porto

This place is regal with a capital R: think fur throws, totally ostentatious chandeliers and gold accents on just about every piece of furniture and accessory. Basically, if you’re throwing a party, a work does, a wedding or a hen/stag and you want to show off, that’ll do the job. Not convinced? Wait until you see the enormous pool out back.

You'll feel like you're in Bali or Cancun staying here. The pictures don't even do it justice. This beautiful hut is in the middle of lush manicured gardens with tropical species, an old wine-making presser, picnic tables and more. Perfect for when you come back from a long day of exploring. It's a historical building that was completely rehabilitated using a modern approach to design and materials, so the building is truly unique. Plus, it's in the centre of Porto and within walking distance from Trindade, the city’s main transportation hub. 

This is a two-bed located right on the riverfront of the Douro River and overlooks the Alfândega do Porto. It's also fairly new and has been recently renovated and decorated.  centrally located. You can even start your morning eating breakfast on the balcony, who could complain about that? 

This is one of the world's most beautiful bookshops, and is it a surprise? Fun fact: it's where one of Porto's most influential architects lived. You'd be located in a charming historic building too. As for the outside space, the balcony is perfect for port drinking and people-watching. There's a yoga school located in the same part of the apartment, so you can do yoga and pilates classes all day, perfect for any yogis.

When we say something is postcard-perfect, we usually don’t mean it actually appears in the postcards but this comfortable apartment, located near Porto’s cathedral in the Unesco World Heritage area, does just that. Pretty cool, huh? It also comes with a wood-burning stove and is cheaper than most pads you’ll find in this part of town. 

If it’s character you’re after, opt for this reasonably priced three-bed apartment, which has been lovingly restored with stand-out features such as original Portuguese tiles.

Belonging to a typical Porto building, this apartment was completely restored back in 2020. You came to Porto for tiles (and port), and that’s just what you’ll get from this beautiful apartment in the centre of Porto. It has an outdoor swimming pool and green spaces with fruit trees, making it a special and rare space you'll certainly be happy in!

A loft apartment with a difference. If you're looking for somewhere minimal and modern, this is your guy. It's in the perfect location too, located in the heart of the Historic Center of Porto, an area classified as World Heritage by Unesco. An extremely comfortable and unique space, you'll be truly happy staying here.

We could talk about the modern interior, the sleek kitchen appliances and the floor-length windows in the bedroom – but the real reason you’re here is for those jaw-achingly gorgeous views. Just think of those sunset Instagram opportunities!

This roomy three-bed is extremely well-priced for the area, size of the property and those gorgeous balcony views. The decor is nothing too fancy, but it’s clean and conveniently located near the Porto wine cellars, which is the main thing.
