Tripas-Coração: Taipas - Mezzanine Skylight 4th Floor

Summary:
Experience authentic Porto living in this top-floor (4th floor) mezzanine apartment, set in a recently renovated early 20th-century building with high wooden ceilings and a skylight filling the space with natural light. Ideal for couples or solo travellers, it offers a kitchenette and washing machine. Like many heritage gems, there’s no lift and soft stair sounds may be heard, adding to its charm. Cafés, restaurants, and shops await just outside.

The Space:
We furnished, decorated and stocked the apartment with products made by young Portuguese designers, artists and producers, so you can feel Porto’s heart without leaving home, while supporting small scale entrepreneurs.

Guest Access:
The apartment is located on the 4rd floor and accommodates up to 2 people and has all amenities needed for you to feel at home.

The Area:
The Taipas area is one of Porto’s most authentic and charming corners, quietly tucked between the lively Clérigos Tower and the scenic Virtudes Garden. Staying here means experiencing the very heart of the city, where tradition meets local life.
Just around the corner, you’ll find some of Porto’s most iconic sights: the Clérigos Tower, the beautiful Lello Bookshop, and the picturesque Virtudes viewpoint overlooking the Douro River - perfect for sunsets and photos. São Bento Station, Ribeira, and Avenida dos Aliados are all within a short, pleasant walk.
The area has a true local feel, with cobbled streets, tiled façades, and family-run cafés where you can enjoy an espresso like a local. Small wine bars, creative restaurants, and artisan shops fill the surrounding streets, giving you a taste of both historic charm and modern Portuguese life.
Peaceful yet central, Taipas is ideal for travellers who want to explore Porto on foot while staying in a area that captures the city’s warmth, culture, and authentic rhythm.
