Oyster
Mid-Range
"Hotel Boa Vista is a mid-range property housed in a charming 19th-century building in the quiet Foz da Douro area, where the Atlantic Ocean and Douro River meet."
Full review
Lonely Planet
"A classic, 19th-century seaside inn outside and a thoroughly modern if somewhat characterless hotel inside."
Full review
Time Out
"The fourth floor has a terrace open to the general public, with a lovely view of the sea. And you don’t have to starve there – they sell snacks and cocktails."

Fodor's
"True to its name—which literally means "nice view”—this hotel has eye-popping views from the rooftop pool and sun terrace of the Douro Estuary and the Atlantic Ocean."
