Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
“A contemporary five-star on the steep south bank of the lower Douro at Castelo de Paiva, east of Porto, with 60 rooms, a spa and river views from every level. It suits people who want a Douro river setting without the long drive to Pinhão. Dogs up to 25 kg get a full kit in the room: bed, blanket, towel, poo bags, a toy, bowls and biscuits, plus a list of nearby vets and walks.
