“Douro Royal Valley Hotel & Spa strikes me as a hillside retreat where the Douro River views truly steal the show. With wellness at its core and dining that spotlights Portuguese flavors, it seems best suited to couples or those prioritizing spa and scenery over bustling family entertainment, though kids are catered for. I imagine an evening cocktail at the Ruby Bar, the river reflecting the sunset, would be quite special.”
