This being said, some hotels are really top notch, like the Six Senses Douro Valley.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>One thing you should consider before booking any hotel in the Douro valley is a) its location and b) how you plan to get there. If you are planning to rent a car (namely on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autoeurope.eu\/index.cfm?sflag=EUR&amp;aff=PORTOALITIESEU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discovercars.com\/?a_aid=portoalities\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/www.discovercars.com\/?a_aid=portoalities\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">DiscoverCars<\/a><\/a>, the best price aggregator in the market) then you can stay in more remote locations, but keep in mind that you&#8217;ll have to drive back and forth to explore the region. Another option is to choose a more central hotel, near the main cities with train stations &#8211; R\u00e9gua and Pinh\u00e3o.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>To help you have a better geographical understanding of the region, I made a map that signals the main train stations in black and my boutique hotels in Douro&#8217;s recommendations in dark pink:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/d\/u\/0\/embed?mid=1EuR-C1zofXq0MeAjlOvwOIutULIohmY&amp;ehbc=2E312F\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best boutique hotels in the Douro valley<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/hotel\/pt\/six-senses-douro-valley.en.html?aid=1186505&amp;no_rooms=1&amp;group_adults=2&amp;label=boutique-hotels-douro\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">Six Senses&nbsp;Douro Valley<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"668\" height=\"452\" src=\"http:\/\/portoalities.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/six-senses-boutique-hotels-douro-valley.jpg\" alt=\"six senses boutique hotels douro valley\" class=\"wp-image-130184\" srcset=\"https:\/\/portoalities.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/six-senses-boutique-hotels-douro-valley.jpg 668w, https:\/\/portoalities.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/six-senses-boutique-hotels-douro-valley-300x203.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 668px) 100vw, 668px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"668\" height=\"501\" src=\"http:\/\/portoalities.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/bedroom-six-senses-hotel.jpg\" alt=\"bedroom six senses hotel\" class=\"wp-image-130174\" srcset=\"https:\/\/portoalities.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/bedroom-six-senses-hotel.jpg 668w, https:\/\/portoalities.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/bedroom-six-senses-hotel-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 668px) 100vw, 668px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/hotel\/pt\/six-senses-douro-valley.en.html?aid=1186505&amp;no_rooms=1&amp;group_adults=2&amp;label=boutique-hotels-douro\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">The Six Senses<\/a> is possibly the best boutique hotel in the Douro valley, in the luxury segment.

It has a very tasteful architecture, which beautifully combines wood and granite, and a swimming pool with a beautiful view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The owner, Cid\u00e1lia, is an extraordinary person, who makes everyone feel at home &#8211; especially at breakfast time, served on a terrace with magnificent views, with delicious regional products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A stay at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/hotel\/pt\/quinta-de-santa-marinha-castedo123.en.html?aid=1186505&amp;no_rooms=1&amp;group_adults=2&amp;label=boutique-hotels-douro\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">Quinta de Santa Marinha<\/a> is delightfully private and remote, but it&#8217;s not for everyone. There is nothing close to the hotel, so it is necessary to <a href=\"http:\/\/portoalities.com\/complete-guide-rent-a-car-in-porto\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">rent a car<\/a>, also taking into account that the hotel has a reduced menu and does not offer dinner. On the other hand, like many places in the Douro, access is not very easy &#8211; prepare your trip well before going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>How to get there: take the train to Pinh\u00e3o and then a 25 minutes taxi ride.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/hotel\/pt\/a-tendinha-room-4-river-view.en.html?aid=1186505&amp;no_rooms=1&amp;group_adults=2&amp;label=boutique-hotels-douro\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">A Tendinha Guesthouse<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"668\" height=\"445\" src=\"http:\/\/portoalities.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/bedroom-tendinha-guesthouse.jpg\" alt=\"bedroom tendinha guesthouse\" class=\"wp-image-130315\" srcset=\"https:\/\/portoalities.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/bedroom-tendinha-guesthouse.jpg 668w, https:\/\/portoalities.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/bedroom-tendinha-guesthouse-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 668px) 100vw, 668px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"668\" height=\"506\" src=\"http:\/\/portoalities.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/tendinha-guesthouse.jpg\" alt=\"tendinha guesthouse\" class=\"wp-image-130310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/portoalities.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/tendinha-guesthouse.jpg 668w, https:\/\/portoalities.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/tendinha-guesthouse-300x227.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 668px) 100vw, 668px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are looking for a boutique hotel in Douro that does <em>not<\/em> involve renting a car or taking taxis all the time, then I highly recommend <a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/hotel\/pt\/a-tendinha-room-4-river-view.en.html?aid=1186505&amp;no_rooms=1&amp;group_adults=2&amp;label=boutique-hotels-douro\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">Tendinha Guesthouse<\/a>, which is located a 5-minute walk from R\u00e9gua train station.

jam, which is very pleasant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I recommend <a
