Porto's best Airbnbs

The opulent villa near the Douro River

1. The opulent villa near the Douro River

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.

Plus there’s an all-important hammock for terrace lounging, and Porto’s lively bar and restaurant scene is within stumbling distance.

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!

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.

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.

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.
