Sensational retreat with Douro River views and a rooftop pool!
Set within a spellbinding landscape, Douro River View is a rare retreat where time slows and nature takes centre stage. Positioned at the heart of a private 25-acre wine estate on the banks of the Douro River, the villa gazes towards the Mosteirô Bridge in the distance, with sweeping river views that are especially enchanting after sunset.
Reimagined in 2023 by visionary architects, this contemporary villa rises from the remains of an ancient stone ruin, seamlessly woven into the terraced slopes that define the Douro Valley. Every space has been designed to celebrate its setting: the living areas and all five ensuite bedrooms open onto private balconies, each framing uninterrupted vistas of the river below.
The rooftop is a destination in itself. Here, a striking infinity pool and fire-pit lounge invite long, sun-soaked afternoons, starlit swims, and unhurried evenings spent in good company. Indoors, moments of indulgence continue with a private jacuzzi and fully equipped gym, while modern comforts include air-conditioning, Smart TVs throughout, and high-speed Wi-Fi.
Your arrival is marked with a chilled bottle of vinho verde from the estate’s own vineyard, and each morning begins with a generous buffet breakfast. A dedicated concierge is on hand to curate your stay, whether arranging a private chef, in-villa massages, yoga sessions, or bespoke experiences across the region. Guests staying one week or longer are treated to a welcome hamper of local delicacies, a bottle of fine port, and a complimentary winery visit with tasting.
Beyond the villa, vineyard walks and natural water springs await exploration. The nearby Mosteirô train station offers one of Europe’s most scenic rail journeys, winding along the Douro River, while the legendary N222 road invites leisurely drives through traditional villages and riverfront towns. River cruises can also be arranged from Pinhão or Régua.
No stay in the Douro would be complete without discovering its celebrated gastronomy and wines. From rustic local eateries to refined dining at DOC by Chef Rui Paula, holder of two Michelin stars, the region offers exceptional culinary depth. Wine lovers will appreciate a visit to Quinta da Covela, renowned for its organic practices and elegant white and rosé wines, just 30 minutes from the villa.
Douro River View is more than a place to stay—it is an invitation to experience the Douro Valley at its most authentic, luxurious, and unforgettable.

“Porto is the perfect size to explore by foot. Visitors will love wandering down the alleyways full of history and nostalgia, or strolling across the famous Dom Luís I Bridge before sampling some of the delicious local Port wine!”
“While the cobbled streets add character to Porto’s historic neighbourhoods, they can be challenging for those with mobility concerns. Navigating the city involves hills and uneven surfaces, which might pose difficulties for individuals with limited mobility or those pushing strollers. We recommend you wear comfortable footwear when exploring the city.”
