Torel Quinta da Vacaria - Douro Valley

A boutique hotel on a working wine estate in the Douro Valley, where the oldest vineyards in the region press right up against rooms that look nothing like you'd expect, all pale wood, midcentury furniture, and private terraces with open-air soaking tubs. The glass-lined spa and infinity pool face the terraced hills straight on. A Michelin Key recognizes it, and the indoor-outdoor bar with river views is the kind of thing that ruins ordinary hotels for you.
