Luxuriöses Apartment Mit 5 Schlafzimmern

ESSENZA — A Rare Expression of Contemporary Luxury in Porto

T5 Apartment | Parque da Cidade | Foz do Douro | Porto, Portugal

There are residences that offer comfort.
And then there are residences that redefine the meaning of living well.

Set in one of Porto’s most prestigious residential addresses, overlooking the Parque da Cidade and the Atlantic horizon, this exceptional five-bedroom residence at Essenza presents a rare balance between contemporary architecture, refined interiors and an extraordinary connection with nature.

With approximately 480.60 sqm of total gross area, including a generous private residence, expansive terraces, storage and a substantial private garage box, the property has been conceived for those who value space, privacy and understated sophistication.

Here, the city feels remarkably distant.

The Parque da Cidade, Portugal’s largest urban park, unfolds directly before the residence, extending towards the Atlantic Ocean. Beyond it lies the unmistakable lifestyle of Foz do Douro — elegant, cosmopolitan and effortlessly connected to the sea.

- Architecture with a Signature

Essenza is not simply another residential development.

Its distinctive contemporary architecture, designed by Manuel Ventura, creates a striking dialogue between sculptural concrete forms, expansive glazing and the organic landscape surrounding it. The interior design, by Paulo Lobo, continues this philosophy through carefully considered proportions, materials and details.

The building itself has received international recognition, having been selected among the world’s eight most beautiful buildings by International Building Beauty 2022, following its 2021 finalist position in the multi-residential category.

A private, controlled environment complements the architectural experience, with 24-hour security and coded access to the residential floors.

- Designed Around the Art of Living

Inside, natural light and generous proportions create an atmosphere that is both sophisticated and remarkably welcoming.

The kitchen is a statement in itself: elegant, luminous and highly functional, with a refined contemporary aesthetic, central island and carefully integrated technology. Bespoke details and premium finishes reveal themselves gradually, rewarding those who take the time to look closer.

The bathrooms continue the same design philosophy, incorporating the **S22 collection by renowned Portuguese architect Eduardo Souto de Moura**, where sculptural simplicity meets exceptional craftsmanship.

And yet, some of the residence’s most compelling qualities are not immediately visible.

They are found in the relationship between the interiors and the surrounding landscape, in the changing light throughout the day, and in the rare feeling of having one of Porto’s greatest natural spaces as an extension of your own home.

- An Address Beyond Compare

Few locations in Porto offer such a combination of nature, ocean, culture and sophisticated urban living.

From Essenza, the beaches and promenade of Foz do Douro are moments away, while **Serralves Museum and Gardens, Casa da Música, Avenida da Boavista and Porto’s city centre** are all within easy reach.

International schools, renowned educational institutions, fine dining, premium retail and essential services complete an exceptionally privileged setting.

This is Porto at its most refined — where the **Atlantic becomes the horizon, the Parque da Cidade becomes the garden, and architecture becomes part of the experience.

Essenza is a residence for those who do not simply seek a property in Porto, but a particular way of experiencing the city.
