Casa do Rio
Castelo Melhor, Vila Nova de Foz Côa, Portugal
Casa do Rio sits in the drier eastern reaches of the wine region, near Vila Nova de Foz Côa. Its wood-and-glass building is suspended above an orange grove, with bedrooms opening towards the valley. Wine tastings, meals and the pool make staying put easy, while the nearby Côa rock-art sites give you a compelling reason to venture out. Choose this for a quieter, more remote stay and plan transfers before arriving.
