Summer is right around the corner and the days are approaching when you start to feel the intense heat of the warmer months. So you don't run out of ideas where to cool off, we recommend the 3 most popular pools in the Douro.
Spread across several hotels in the region, they are the perfect place to enjoy a hot day with a panoramic view of the most beautiful landscapes in the world.
In the village of Baião, you can enjoy this swimming pool with panoramic views of the Douro terraces, between the 15th of May and the 30th of September. As one of the most recognized hotels in the region, the Douro Royal Valley Hotel & Spa stands out for its infinity pool where the blue of the pool mixes with the greenish colors of the Douro River. An authentic glimpse not to be missed.
At the Douro41 Hotel & Spa it is possible to contemplate the perfect combination between the shale of the Douro terraces and the hotel's shale and glass walls. It has two infinity pools, one indoor and one outdoor. In both you will be dazzled by the Douro landscape, full of river and mountains. In these pools, you will not only have time to relax, but you will feel part of the surrounding landscape.
With an outdoor pool facing the Douro River, you can lie down on a sun lounger and start to relax. The tranquility and connection of the Quinta to Nature allows you to forget about everyday life and focus on the moment. In this seasonal outdoor pool, get close to the infinity edge and enjoy the privileged view over the village of Pinhão. Enjoy a certainly relaxing sunny afternoon with the Douro as a backdrop.

Born in the Douro, namely in the village of Galafura where the most beautiful viewpoint in the Douro is located, Monte de São Leonardo de Galafura. I am lucky to have been born in one of the most beautiful regions in the world and I want to share the best of what comes from it. I want to make known to the world its landscape, its customs, the gastronomy and the fantastic wines that go from strength to strength in the mouths of the world.
Venture with me in the best experiences that will awaken all your senses!
