"A 38-room, five-star fashion-forward retreat near Porto’s major sights, hand-selected by Mr. and Mrs. Smith and styled with inspirations from designers like Kenzo, Etro, and Missoni. Rooms feature bold prints, bright velvet furnishings, and sweeping views of the Douro Valley; the property feels like an escape despite its convenient location. Facilities include indoor and outdoor pools, expansive gardens, a fitness center, and an on-site spa using Sisley Paris products with signature facials, plus a sauna, Turkish bath, hammam, and an ice fountain. Dining and beverage options range from a fine-dining restaurant led by a Michelin-starred chef to a more casual Mediterranean-inspired spot for breakfast and lighter meals, and there is a decadent bar with crafted cocktails. Additional highlights include a private dock and bookable boat tours to the Ribeira UNESCO area, easy access to wine-tasting in Vila Nova de Gaia, and rooms that typically start around $250/night."
