A truly characteristic area of Douro.

The trail begins and ends at Régua's main bridge. We cross the river via the lovely pedestrian bridge and continue down the path to Quinta da Pacheca, which is about 5 kilometres from Régua.

We go by the river path and "PR2 Trilho Vinho do Porto" and then up a beautiful and steep path to the church of Samodes, where you can enjoy beautiful views over the Douro's slopes and vineyards. In Samodaes, we reverse the direction of travel returning, halfway up the slope, to the starting point. Along the way, we pass by fabulous farms and viewpoints with a views to fill your soul.

Hi!

Are you ready for nature getaway in Douro Valley?

My name is Rai and I’m a yoga teacher, wellness event organizer and I host hiking tours in Douro region. I believe nature combined with our favorite activities such as hiking & yoga provides free therapy for our nervous system. Therefore I invite you to a short NATURE GETAWAY where you can take a break from everyday life and reconnect with yourself. You get to stay in a beautiful, historical hotel, practice yoga, hike and picnic and visit breathtaking viewpoints while avoiding overcrowded tourist areas!

GETTING HERE

The hotel is only 3 min. from Régua train station, therefore you don’t need a car.

Our recommendation is to get to Porto, get the train from Campanha or São Bento train station and travel to Peso da Régua (train ticket up to 10 eur).

What about arriving from Porto by boat?
