What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Outfitted in calming pastels and Portuguese antiques, rooms are peaceful and light-filled, and many have private terraces opening onto fragrant gardens.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Vineyard trails wind down the schist slopes toward the Douro River, where free transfers meet trains at Ferrão station.
The rooms
Superior Terrace rooms feature antique Portuguese furnishings and open directly onto private patios steps from the vines.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Stone steps lead past cypress trees to a hillside pool overlooking terraced schist vineyards and the Douro River.
At the table
Terraçu's Winery Restaurant serves multi-course menus paired with estate vintages on shaded terraces beneath climbing vines.
How it began
Part of the Douro's original 1756 royal demarcation, the historic estate centers on an 18th-century manor house and subterranean cellars.
