Serene stay on the banks of the Douro
Nestling beside the Douro River, the four-star Vila Gale Porto Ribeira is only a 20-minute walk from the city centre. But for a true taste of Porto life, hop on board the tram, which runs right past the hotel and only takes five minutes to reach the main sights. Heading in the other direction, the cute yellow carriages will transport you towards a stretch of sandy beaches.
The hotel has been awarded countless certificates for its commitment to sustainability, and it’s clear to see why. You won’t find a sheet of paper in the building, as everything from check-in to menus to local information is provided paperless – on tablets, TVs and online. And if you hire an electric car while you’re on holiday, you can use the hotel’s charging point.
Beautiful river views can be enjoyed from the reception and lobby, as well as in some of the rooms. The hotel also provides a buffet breakfast each morning and there’s a bar on site too. Take a leisurely stroll towards town and find a seat outside one of the pretty riverside cafés. While treating yourself to a custard tart and coffee, you can simply watch the world float by…
