The House of Sandeman - Hostel & Suites

The House of Sandeman itself is first and foremost a winemaker, and in the House of Sandeman Hostel & Suites the venerable brand has made its 200-year-old cellar building the setting for a stylish and subtle lodging. The dorm rooms are unusual, with beds set in circular frames recalling oak wine barrels; the private rooms are more familiar, with private bathrooms and a selection of artworks from Sandeman’s history. A tour of the old wine cellars is a must, and for a deeper dive into the Portuguese wine country a sailing trip on the Douro can be arranged.
