Set high above the Douro River, Highland Douro Escape is a striking contemporary retreat with far-reaching views across one of Portugal’s most celebrated wine regions. Surrounded by vineyards and olive trees, this architect-designed home makes the most of its elevated position, with wide glass openings and expansive terraces framing the shifting colours of the valley below.
Designed across two levels, the villa combines clean architectural lines with natural materials such as slate, flint and hardwood, creating a refined yet grounded atmosphere. Light-filled interiors flow easily into outdoor living spaces, where a private swimming pool and lawned gardens provide the perfect setting for long, sun-filled days and relaxed evenings.
Inside, guests can enjoy a range of features including a fully equipped kitchen, multiple living and dining areas, a games room, and a dedicated spa space with jacuzzi, sauna and steam room. A separate studio cabin set among the vines adds flexibility for larger groups or those seeking additional privacy.
With space for up to 12 guests, Highland Douro Escape is well suited to families or groups of friends looking to experience the Douro Valley from a truly memorable vantage point.
- The villa is set high in the valley, accessed via winding roads - arranging a driver is recommended.
- Due to the elevated setting, open grounds and stairs, young children will need close supervision.
