The port wine hotel

The Yeatman is on the slope of Vila Nova de Gaia, among the port wine cellars, on the same Rua do Choupelo as Taylor's. It belongs to Relais & Châteaux and is designed around wine: each room and suite, all with a terrace or balcony, looks onto Porto, the Douro and the Ribeira. It occupies an estate of about three hectares with gardens.

Pools, spa and table

It has indoor and outdoor infinity pools and a Wine Spa with treatments linked to the grape. The fine-dining restaurant The Yeatman has two Michelin stars; there are also The Orangerie, Dick's Bar & Bistro, with afternoon tea, and a cellar with a shop. They offer packages with access to World of Wine, the district of museums and wine experiences beside the river.

Getting there

It is in Gaia, a few minutes by car or taxi from the Luís I Bridge; walking down you reach the cellars and the river. It is an option for a special night rather than a base for covering the centre on foot, because of the slope.
