Discover Pestana Palácio do Freixo, a restored riverside palace turned hotel. Wander through its historic rooms and grounds, take in the Douro views and imagine a slower stay.
Full description
Pestana Palácio do Freixo is a restored palace and adjoining old factory buildings on the Douro, operating as a hotel with a restaurant, pools, a spa and a gym. Guests and visitors describe the restoration of the palace and its grounds as the main draw, along with river views and an old-world atmosphere.
It suits couples and travellers who like architecture, and it sits slightly outside the central core, which is why a free shuttle is part of the offer. A short stop to see the building and grounds takes around 20 minutes.

Reviews
Stunningly beautiful views; old world charm; superb breakfast; wonderful daily housekeeping of rooms. We stayed almost one week and each day the room was cleaned like new. The beds are very comfortable with high quality bed linens. Only the rooms have air con (which works excellently). Highly recommend.
