About the development
Private development in Massarelos, Porto, featuring 16 studio+1 to 3+1-bedroom residences, private gardens, and Douro River views. Palacete Douro.
Set along the historic Caminhos do Romântico in Massarelos, Palacete Douro is a private development pairing architectural heritage with contemporary living overlooking the Douro River. The scheme comprises 16 residences ranging from studio+1 to 3+1-bedroom layouts, born from the restoration of the 18th-century Casa Coverley alongside new low-rise residential structures integrated into the surrounding gardens.
Conceived by architect João Ferros, the design honours the character of the historic manor while introducing contemporary volumes. The 16 residences offer gross private areas ranging from 62 to 190 square metres, divided between seven homes within the original manor—featuring preserved ceiling heights and authentic openings—and nine homes in the new additions, defined by expansive glazing connecting living areas to the river and greenery.
Outdoor spaces include private gardens from 88 to 128 square metres as well as penthouse terraces extending up to 91 square metres. Interiors are fitted with multilayer oak flooring, Bosch-equipped kitchens with Silestone worktops, wall-hung Sanindusa sanitary fixtures, thermal-break double glazing with UV protection, and fan-coil climate control systems. Each residence includes one to three private parking spaces behind motorized garage gates.
Located on Rua da Pena, the property ensures direct transit connections, positioned five minutes from the Arrábida Bridge and the VCI/A20 highway, and ten minutes from the A1 motorway. Francisco Sá Carneiro International Airport is reachable within a 25-minute drive.
The immediate area provides convenient access to educational, cultural, and healthcare facilities: Casa da Música and Bom Sucesso Market are eight minutes away, while Serralves Museum and Park, CUF Porto Hospital, the German School, and Lycée Français International are within ten minutes. The Atlantic seafront at Foz do Douro and CLIP are fifteen minutes away.
