Flattered to be in Porto

Foz do Douro


Right in the heart of Foz these gorgeous apartments bear the hallmark of architect José Carlos Cruz. Modern Portuguese art brings a splash of colour to the light, spacious, contemporary rooms. Big enough to accommodate families, they come with kitchenettes and comforts such as iPod docks and DVD players. The sea views are terrific and your host Miguel is incredibly welcoming.
