Octant Douro

Octant Douro lies on the banks of the Douro River in Castelo de Paiva. This international-style hotel makes for a luxurious waterfront getaway. Check into an opulent Deluxe River View room, with floor-to-ceiling windows from where you can take in the Douro. The room is done up in a contemporary style using neutral colors that are perfectly complemented by tasteful furnishings and modern amenities. The ensuite bathroom comes with a bathtub, dual sinks and toiletries. In the morning, fuel up with a hearty breakfast before you head out. Sightseeing trips to the UNESCO-listed Paiva Walkways, boat tours of Ilha dos Amores, and swimming in the nearby rivers are some ways of exploring the region. Back at the hotel, relax with a dip in the outdoor infinity pool or the heated indoor pool. If you want to pamper yourself with massages and wellness treatments, make your way to the onsite spa. Later, unwind with tapas and your favorite drink at the bar with a wood-fired oven. When hunger strikes, treat yourself to local cuisine and tasting menus at the elegant restaurant. In warm weather, you can dine al fresco on the terrace. Pair your meals with fine local wines from the curated list. You could also request bespoke dining experiences in scenic settings across the premises.
