Rosarinho Cruz invites to her Atelier by the Sea | Apartment in Porto
3 Bedroom Apartment in Foz do Douro, Porto
I'm Rosarinho Cruz, I paint and create jewellery. It’s with great joy that I invite you to discover my Atelier by the Sea, where I breathe in the ocean, see the changing blues, and am lulled by the waves as I create like there’s no tomorrow. With pieces chosen “close to my heart,” I shaped a personal haven that inspires me and brings deep peace. When I travel, I open its doors to kindred spirits, hoping this little corner awakens something special in you and brings the same joy it brings me.
It’s such a joy to share this very special little corner with you, even though I’m away. This duplex is my refuge where the quiet of the sea embraces the energy of art, a place where I feel inspired and comfortable, truly at home.
When I’m here, I love to sit on the velvet sofa, surrounded by pieces I’ve carefully chosen, each bringing personality and a touch of my artistic soul. The painting table is always there, a silent invitation to creativity, even when I’m not painting.
The small bedroom on the ground floor is my intimate hideaway, a windowless room that invites peaceful rest, a warm and cozy space for those who appreciate silence and serenity, and it’s entirely decorated with watercolours painted by me.
Up on the mezzanine, the main bedroom opens up in light and softness, with architectural lines that flow gently. The queen-size bed is the perfect invitation for deep sleep, and the traditional European crib, with neoclassical details, is a little decorative treasure that fills me with tenderness.
This bedroom is open to the rest of the duplex, with no doors or full walls. I love this fluidity, this feeling of open space that connects everything harmoniously. Please note that some areas have lower ceilings, which add a cozy touch.
The bathroom is vibrant and joyful, with red tiles that echo the colorful kitchen, where the sea-green chairs and blue ceramics always make me smile. The rainfall shower is a small luxury I adore, perfect for relaxing after a day by the sea.
The kitchen is compact but full of life. It’s my little spot to calmly prepare meals, surrounded by the vibrant colors that inspire me so much. It’s fully equipped with everything I need to cook, making every moment there simple and pleasurable.
Foz do Douro is the neighborhood where this atelier breathes. A calm, charming place where the nearby beach always makes me feel renewed. The restaurants and shops nearby are perfect for discovering the best Porto has to offer, and public transport makes exploring the city easy.
A small note from me: the apartment is split over two floors connected by stairs, and reaching the building also requires climbing a few steps - for me, every step is part of the experience, an introduction to the charm of this place.
I hope you feel here the same peace and inspiration that I do. Welcome and make yourself at home!
