Casa do Rio Douro Hotel by Vallado
HotelEurope, Portugal
From €280
Casa do Rio occupies an isolated stretch of the Douro Superior, surrounded by Quinta do Vallado's organic vineyards and overlooking the river. There are only ten rooms, and the architecture sits lightly within a vast natural amphitheater of terraced vineyards, olive groves and valleys, allowing the landscape to dominate almost every view. Wine tastings, meals and days spent on the river turn the property into a particularly intimate way to experience one of Portugal's most impressive wine regions.
Vintage Hotel
HotelEurope, Portugal
From $185
The Vintage is a 56-room hotel in a renovated 19th-century building on a quiet backstreet near Lisbon's Botanical Garden, a short walk from Avenida da Liberdade and the Bairro Alto. Its rooms are decorated with mid-century furniture, bold work by local artists and Portuguese ceramics, and each has a cocktail trolley with a gin and tonic kit created by the hotel's mixologist. On the fourth floor, the open-air V Rooftop Bar looks out over the city beneath a vertical garden. The hotel also has a spa with a pool and the Blue Bistrot restaurant. Many of Lisbon's best-known sights are an easy walk downhill, and the Marquês de Pombal metro station is close by.
Vermelho Melides
HotelEurope, Portugal
From $378
Vermelho is Christian Louboutin’s personal take on Melides: just 13 rooms gathered behind a sculptural façade, with hand-painted frescoes, antique furniture, Alentejo tiles and artworks collected from Portugal and far beyond. The mood is unapologetically theatrical but still intimate, moving from richly layered rooms and a jewel-box bar to Louis Benech-designed gardens and a pool hidden among the greenery. Xtian restaurant keeps the focus closer to home with seasonal Alentejo ingredients and local ceramics, while the beaches and lagoons of the Costa Alentejana are only a short drive away.
São Lourenço do Barrocal
HotelEurope, Portugal
From $505
São Lourenço do Barrocal is a restored 200-year-old farm estate near Monsaraz, spread across 780 hectares of olive groves, vineyards, pasture and archaeological sites in the Alentejo. The former agricultural buildings have been converted into rooms, suites and cottages while keeping the whitewashed walls, vaulted ceilings and practical simplicity of the original monte. The estate still produces wine, olive oil, vegetables and livestock, and much of the stay revolves around that working landscape, from horseback riding and cycling to pottery, archaeology and wine experiences.
