Tiles Apartments

Ribeira


Cátia and David are your affable, clued-up hosts at this super-central apartment duo, glammed up with the namesake blue-and-white azulejos. The apartments are roomy, spotless, fitted with kitchenettes, and big enough to squeeze in four (each with a double and a sofa bed). A welcome decanter of port on arrival is a nice touch. Minimum two-night stay.
