- Location and Surroundings

The apartment is part of a fully restored historic building. Ancient stone walls were preserved and integrated into a new rooftop structure that blends contemporary design with heritage.
Rua do Monte dos Judeus is within the UNESCO Historic City Area, a quiet, pedestrian-only corner of Miragaia, within walking distance of central Porto along the river.
Buses to the beaches of Foz do Douro are also nearby.

- Accessibility

As is typical of Porto’s hillside neighbourhoods, Rua do Monte dos Judeus follows a steep incline. This provides the remarkable views but may pose challenges for some guests.

The street is pedestrian-only; taxis can reach the top of the street but not the building entrance.

Exterior steps lead down to the building door.

Inside the building, two straight flights of stairs lead from the entrance level to the apartment door.

The apartment is on the top floor of a five-storey building, though the entrance level corresponds to the third floor due to the slope.

Guests with reduced mobility or heavy luggage should take this into consideration.

Things to Keep in Mind:
