A 5 star retreat in the heart of the Douro Valley, for a unique wine tourism experience.
The root of the project.
Located in the charming Quinta de Lodões, in Salgueiró, Vila Flor, this five-star architectural development integrates naturally into the Douro wine landscape. The hotel represents an innovative approach to rural tourism, combining wine tradition with contemporary comfort and sophistication. The varied topography of the land has been carefully incorporated into the building's design, reducing visual impact and reinforcing the connection with nature.
With two floors, the upper level concentrates the common areas — bar, reception and restaurant — all privileged by panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. Access is via a path paved with granite cubes, which connects the regional roads to the external parking lot with capacity for 28 vehicles. The main entrance, located on the central axis of the volume, symmetrically divides the dining and administrative service areas, ensuring a harmonious and organized arrival for guests.
The lower floor houses the more private areas, including 40 rooms and a spa, organized in two wings that follow the morphology of the land. This layout ensures greater privacy, privileged views, and functional integration with the spa, allowing for easy and comfortable access from the accommodation units. With a concrete structure, green roofs, and curvilinear volumes partially buried within the hillside design, the hotel stands out for its durability and energy efficiency.
The Hotel Rural de Lodões promises to become a benchmark in the region, harmoniously and innovatively combining tourism, culture, and wine tourism.
