Tucked into an 18th-century building on one of Porto's oldest and most photographed pedestrian streets, Pousada Porto brings together heritage architecture and contemporary design in a setting that feels distinctly modern. Part of the Pestana group's portfolio of historic conversions, this boutique property sits right where the action happens – artisan shops, street performers and riverside views are all moments away on foot. Vaulted ceilings and original stonework provide character, whilst floral motifs pay homage to the street's name. With a tranquil indoor pool for unwinding after city exploration, a breakfast spread showcasing northern Portuguese flavours, and that oh-so-central location, it's a polished base for discovering the Douro city.
