About the RegionDouro Palace Hotel Resort & Spa

The Douro region is the oldest vineyard in the world, decreed in 1756 by the Marquis of Pombal due to its unique soil characteristics of slate and its privileged location with sun exposure.

The terraced hillsides involved in the production of the wines that pertain to the denominations of origin of "Porto" and "Douro", as well as the authenticity and integrity of the cultural landscape contributed extensively to the Alto Douro Vinhateiro being granted UNESCO World Heritage Site status in December 2001.

In terms of historic heritage, the Douro region is also an important point in the northern region, as it presents the heritage of the prehistoric, Roman, Moorish and Christian peoples who constructed true gems that remain standing today.

The stunning roads overlooking the river enable you to enjoy, corner after corner, impressive scenery. The train also enables you to discover the idyllic landscape through the Douro Railway Line, while boat rides are another option.
