    We really liked Susana's beautiful loft apartment, it is bright and has a great river view. We found the location perfect, as the apartment is a little out of town and therefore away from the crowded city center, but still within walking distance....

When i found the building, where today "Douro River Studios" are located, this was in really bad shape, old and abandoned. So, when i imagined it's renovation, always thought that would be an ideal place for who wanted to visit, live and feel Porto city and it's beautiful Douro River. My intention was to create two spacious apartments, both full of ligth reflected by the river, confortables and moderns. I truly hope those could be the starting pointof the discovery of this amazing and singular city!... Welcome!...
