Porto A.S. 1829

Ribeira


This handsome blue townhouse sits on one of Porto’s liveliest squares, bang in the heart of Ribeira. Dating to 1829 – and in previous lives a stationer's and carpentry shop – it harbours spruce rooms with parquet floors and muted colour schemes – superiors come with freestanding tubs. Staff are eager to please.
