What they say
Two Michelin Keys
Michelin
A salmon-colored 16th-century manor house on the banks of the Douro… the accommodations are a feast for the eyes, made even more so by their views of the river.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Set in quiet Oliveira do Douro, the hotel operates riverboat shuttles from its private dock directly to Porto's historic Ribeira.
The rooms
Signature suites pay tribute to fashion houses like Hermès and Lacroix, while Master Suites add freestanding tubs overlooking the river.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
An outdoor pool sits on the lawn beside the manor house, and a coffered-ceiling pool waits indoors.
The spa and gym
The Sisley Paris spa features a jetted vitality pool, sensory showers, and a wood-panelled fitness room.
Reserva Bar
Red-velvet walls, dark veined marble, and gold accents set an intimate mood for river-facing cocktails.
Restaurant
Terroir Brasserie
Casual Portuguese comfort dishes are served beneath woven planters and out on a garden terrace overlooking the river.
At the table
Michelin-starred Vinha presents Portuguese tasting menus under Moooi animal-motif ceilings and Brazilian emerald marble.
How it began
The Poças family transformed a historic manor house estate, linking the restored pink palacete to a newly built contemporary wing.
