Book here for a rooftop infinity pool over the Douro, with a heated indoor pool as the fallback when the weather turns. The rooftop bar serves cocktails and light meals, and rooms are listed from 97 US$ a night.
The pool
The outdoor infinity pool is on a panoramic rooftop terrace overlooking the Douro River and Porto. A bar beside it serves cocktails and light meals. Floor, outdoor heating and non-guest access aren't published by the hotel.
Our take
Altis Porto is the other Douro-facing infinity pool with a rooftop bar next to it. Pestana adds a separate heated indoor pool, which counts for more between November and January, when average highs run from 13.8°C to 17.1°C.
The catch is the outdoor pool itself. Its heating isn't stated and the access rules aren't published, so you can't assume a day visit is possible. The 97 US$ room price has no date attached, so check the rate for your night.
Good to know
- Rooftop infinity pool with Douro and city views
- Separate indoor heated pool for cooler months

The catches

Getting in
Pool access rules aren't published by the hotel, so a room is the only sure way to swim. No day pass price or seller is listed.
To visit without a room, email the hotel before you travel and ask about the rooftop pool and the pool bar.
Tips
- Ask the hotel whether the outdoor pool is heated before you book a winter stay.
- Use the indoor heated pool when the rooftop is too cool, since the hotel describes it as a year-round option.
Before you go. Confirm outdoor pool hours and heating with the hotel. Neither is published.
