Hotel review

Nestled on the steep banks of the Douro River, this contemporary design hotel and spa offers a sleek escape to the country in Northern Portugal. Boasting modern, minimalist suites, two panoramic view pools and a full-service spa, this has all guests need for an effortless stay. The hotel's exterior was constructed from natural stone and shale, meaning it harmonises beautifully with the surrounding landscape. Interiors follow a similar logic and are dressed in a palette of earthy hues inspired by the surrounding hills, with soft lines, floor-to-ceiling windows and sit-out terraces to maximise views. The sleek, river-facing spa is a real highlight with hydrotherapy, a Turkish bath, and treatments using vegan, botanical-based products. After your revitalising treatment, head to the hotel's smart restaurant for dinner, a menu of contemporary Portuguese cuisine conceived by experienced local chefs.
