The exclusive Casa do Rio Hotel, built in 2014 by rusticasa® on a project by architect Francisco Vieira de Campos, was awarded the prestigious Best of Wine Tourism Award 2018 in the category of “Architecture and Landscape”.

Suspended between two supporting pillars, the wooden building – which looms over the terrain cleverly avoiding a seasonal water line – stands out as a luxury hotel in the countryside. You can relax in the “infinity pool” with a privileged view of the Douro River and with several relaxation areas.

The Casa do Rio is the ideal choice for those looking for a unique and extraordinary experience, in which it is possible to explore the Superior Douro region and enjoy a program of activities exclusively designed for each guest.
