About this place
This 1-bedroom loft apartment offers a superb opportunity to own a piece of Porto’s history within the enchanting Palace of Fervença, a rehabilitated 18th-century building. The loft features a charming balcony measuring 14.22m2, perfect for enjoying the views of the Douro River or relaxing outdoors.
The meticulous rehabilitation has preserved the unique architectural details, including magnificent double-height ceilings and exposed elements that add character and charm. Residents will enjoy air conditioning, double-glazed windows, and fully equipped kitchens, with the option for the unit to be sold fully furnished and decorated.
Set within a historic context, the project comprises two self-contained buildings separated by a splendid private internal garden.

Luís I Bridge, the Sé, and the celebrated Port Wine Cellars, making it ideal for both living and leisure.
