One of the Douro's loveliest hideaways, this clutch of four houses nestles on the right bank of the Douro, in Santa Cruz do Douro near Baião. With a small-village vibe, it's at once chic and simple, with gorgeous river views, a swimming pool and lots of nooks and crannies to explore.
Bikes and kayaks are complimentary and breakfast is included. There's a two-night minimum stay.
