Douro Cister Hotel Resort Rural & Spa

In the vine-stitched hills of Tarouca, in Gouviães e Ucanha — minutes from Salzedas Monastery and the Caves da Murganheira. This family-friendly, pet-friendly resort sits within easy reach of Lamego sights and about 44 km from Vila Real (VRL) airport.

A rural spa-and-resort vibe with 36 air-conditioned rooms featuring LED TVs, blackout drapes and bathrooms with deep-soak tubs or shower/tub combos. Expect calm, modern rooms and daily housekeeping, plus an attached winery that gives the place a local-Douro edge.

Full-service spa with massages, body treatments and facials, plus a sauna, massage room and fitness/24-hour health club. Take a dip in the indoor and outdoor pools, unwind at the poolside bar, browse the library or picnic on the grounds — babysitting available for a surcharge.

Business center and meeting support, multilingual staff, luggage storage, laundry/dry cleaning and free self-parking onsite; roundtrip airport shuttle available for a surcharge and accessible facilities with an elevator.

On-site dining at Douro Cister Hotel Resort (two restaurants noted), a bar/lounge and poolside bar, plus limited-hours room service. Complimentary continental breakfast is served daily (8:00–10:00), and you can pair meals with wines from the attached winery.
