The Luxury Stays Await
Casa do Rio Wine Hotel
Nestled between the vineyards and the river in the Douro Superior, Casa do Rio Wine Hotel is a retreat of rare beauty and silence. Built among orange groves with breathtaking views over the Douro, this boutique hideaway combines sustainability, nature, and award-winning design.
Surrounded by organically farmed vineyards, the property offers tranquility, isolation, and a deep connection with nature.
With 10 rooms, Casa do Rio was also designed by architect Francisco Vieira de Campos. It received the Best of Wine Tourism Award in 2016 for sustainable practices and the National Wood Architecture Prize in 2019.
The Experience
Guests enjoy intimate wine tastings, farm-to-table dining, outdoor adventures on land and river, and an atmosphere of pure serenity.
Quinta do Vallado Wine Hotel
One of the most historic yet innovative estates in the Douro Valley, Quinta do Vallado has been welcoming guests since 2005 at its exceptional Wine Hotel.
Casa Tradicional – The original ochre-toned manor house once belonged to Dona Antónia Adelaide Ferreira. Its five suites, recently renovated, preserve the estate’s history while offering refined comfort, each with independent access through the lush garden.
Modern Building
Designed by acclaimed architect Francisco Vieira de Campos, this schist-clad building features eight contemporary rooms with private balconies and minimalist design, perfectly blending tradition with modernity.
Casa da Eira
The newest addition, featuring six spacious suites with private terraces and sweeping views of the vineyard, is crafted from natural wood for warmth and elegance.
