Torel Avantgarde

Open since September 9, 2017, the five-star Torel Avantgarde went all out when it came to decorating. Everything you see there is Portuguese - from the sofas to the chandeliers, through to the furs and artwork on display - and it can all be purchased online. Of the 47 rooms, 20 are suites and 21 have a view on the Douro river. With two treatment rooms and a Turkish bath, the real moss covering the walls of the entrance isn’t the only thing that stands out at the Spa Balsamea.
