Ruby Port
Ruby Port’s 4-bedroom villa is a fantastic option if you want a more central accommodation. Although this spacious home has some old-age wear and tear, the pros far outway the cons, with breathtaking views of the Douro River.
The old stone fireplace adds a lovely touch to the lounge, and one of the best Porto Airbnb pools overlooks the cityscape.
