This was our favorite place we stayed in Portugal! The location is excellent as you are right in the middle of one of the oldest districts in Porto. The apartment was so charming and picturesque! If you are someone that needs accessibility accommodations, this would not be ideal as there are quite a few steps in each direction to get to the apartment.

Great stay.

Really enjoyed our stay here. The apartment is spacious, clean, well equipped, has character/history and is in a great location near the cathedral (Se in Portuguese). Would definitely stay here again. Nilde and Gabriel were extremely helpful both before arrival and on arrival. Just be aware that you need to navigate some steps to get to the apartment - but it's worth it!

Gem in Porto

Amazing appartment with best views in Porto
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

Arco Apartments is a true gem in Porto. The location is fantastic, right by the old city in a unique historic Arc and stairs. While the stairs can be a bit challenging, there’s a wonderful wine bar next door that makes for a perfect pause. The apartment itself is beautifully designed, comfortable, and thoughtfully equipped with everything needed in the kitchen. The cute patio was a lovely bonus. A perfect blend of charm, style, and convenience. Highly recommended.

This apartment is a gem! Close to everything and equipped with everything to make your stay comfortable. The only downside was that the bed wasn’t comfortable and the mattress could stand to be replaced or at least have a mattress topper.

Loved this apartment! Great location (although it is down lots of steps, so keep this in mind when carrying luggage)close to the Se Porto. We were doing the Portuguese Camino so we appreciated being so close to the starting point. Great communication from the manager who met us on the day with the key and information we needed. Comfy bed, great facilities. Would highly recommend!
