The charming Original Douro Hotel is set in a loving preserved and restored 19th century house on the banks of the river Douro beside a picturesque railway station (but don't worry - the rooms are so well soundproofed that you can enjoy watching the trains pass without them disturbing your sleep). It is located in the centre of Peso da Régua, the beating heart of Portugal's most famous wine country, and so is the perfect starting place for a tour of the Douro Vineyard and to sample the delicate regional wines. The undulating terraces, vineyards, and river make the area one of the most picturesque settings in Portugal. 

But don't just discover the outdoors, discover the indoors as well. Each of the hotel's 18 rooms have been beautifully decorated, where the small details make a big difference. They feature art pieces, collected through the ages, and architectural elements, carefully preserved by recovery work. For example, you will see wooden beams on the walls, decorative ceilings, stone walls, and exposed brick walls, highlighted by the glass placed in front of it to make it a unique centerpiece.

Don't forget to visit the tavern for the wonderful breakfast, included in every stay, or to try out the traditional Portuguese gastronomy created by the people who have Portuguese culture and heritage running through their veins. The same people provide attentive service throughout your whole stay to make your visit to the Douro one that you will not soon forget.
