A magnificent house with all the traditional furniture and the lifestyle of the previous generations, Solar da Rede is the first hotel to operate under a franchise agreement with the Pousadas of Portugal.

The furniture is outstanding and the individually designed rooms have been described as 'a museum of beds' with each bedroom containing one of the finest beds of an age and having all the furniture in the room to match.

These fine pieces are also throughout the public rooms of the hotel where they fit in perfectly with the architectural grandeur and the decorated tiling on many of the walls.

The Solar was built in the 18th century on the terraced vineyards leading down to the river Douro.

The Pousada has 21 rooms and 8 suites, 17 of which are in the various small houses surrounding the main building.

All the rooms have en-suite bathroom, air conditioning, telephone and television.

This Pousada offers conference facilities.
