Expert reviews
“Opposite Porto’s Ribeira district, directly beside the River Douro’s edge, stands The Rebello housed within a collection of restored and reimagined 18th-century stone warehouses. This is Vila Nova de Gaia, the birthplace of the Port industry, that 300 years on, remains world-famous for its Port lodges and cellars.”
“Design savvy and art-filled, the Rebello opened in 2023 in Vila Nova de Gaia and offers knockout views of Porto, across the Douro River, from many of its 103 apartment-style rooms. A roof bar, pool, spa, restaurant and cafe are also in the converted 19th-century stone building, which is near the Ferreira port-wine house.”
“The Bomporto group’s third hotel in Portugal, after Lisbon outposts the Lumiares and the Vintage, offers 103 suites housed in 19th-century industrial buildings on the edge of the Douro River. It comes with a rooftop bar; a cocooning spa that has a pool and a restaurant that serves Portuguese comfort food to share.”

All you need to know
Nestled right on the riverbank of Vila Nova de Gaia, The Rebello is this really cool mix of old-world charm and modern design. The hotel is built into 19th-century stone warehouses, so you get the solid, rugged feel of Porto’s industrial past, but with all the comforts of a luxe 5-star stay.
Think loft-style suites, floor-to-ceiling windows, and design details that pay homage to its wine-warehouse roots. It’s not pretentious luxury, but rather a warm, welcoming place where you feel like a local who’s just temporarily upgraded.
When it comes to relaxing, The Rebello has your back. Their spa is something else: Roman-inspired baths, a semi-heated indoor pool framed by ancient-style artifacts, sauna — basically the perfect spot to unwind.
And for food? You’ve got two restaurants, plus their rooftop bar, which is honestly a gem: panoramic views over Porto, small petisco plates, and cocktails that hit just right.
