Vinha Boutique Hotel

Whether you’re mad for Missoni or crazy for Kenzo, Portuguese retreat Vinha Hotel draws a voguish crowd with unique designer dwellings on the banks of the Douro River. Nestled within three hectares of meticulously manicured gardens, this hot-pink palazzo – a converted 16th-century manor house – has all the trappings of the country, just 10 minutes away from the city centre. Break bread in baroque style at the Vinha restaurant, where chef Henrique Sá Pessoa puts his two Michelin stars to good use with a menu of modern Portuguese fare, soak up the sun from the lawnside pool or get pampered the Parisian way at the Sisley spa.

You’ll find the Douro River-adjacent Vinha Hotel in the suburb of Vila Nova de Gaia, just a hop skip and a jump from the action of Porto.
