All about the hotel in Douro, where Sara Sampaio celebrated her 30th birthday (and next stop) – Travel

Portuguese model Sara Sampaio changed all the numbers: on July 18th did 30th anniversary, which are celebrated only on the 21st in the hotel with the 41st room. Nothing worked, except for one thing. The place to celebrate entering the 30s is unique, so I couldn’t make a better choice. O Douro41 Hotel & Spa, in Castelo de Paiva, is one of the most coveted in the Douro region, and we will show you a little of this corner on the banks of the forested river.

This is one of the favorite places of the famous, as it was also chosen by an influential person in May. Anita de Costa at the wedding ceremony with Thomas Castañeira. It’s not hard to see why. The hotel has two infinity pools, one of which was the stage for Sarah Sampaio’s lavish party, a cinema, two gastronomic offerings – the Raiva restaurant serving “the best biscuit in the universe” and the À TERRA bar. & Dining room with food cooked in a wood-burning stove or in a fireplace – spa and modern minimalist decor, in harmony with the structure of slate stone and glass.

Minimalism is precisely aimed at emphasizing the most important thing in Douro41 Hotel & Spa: the view of the Douro River or the mountains, which can be admired from the balconies and patios. Rooms range from suites to suites with panoramic views, which are easy to petrify looking at the sky, blue or starry, because the tall glass walls do not hide any detail of the beauty of the place.

Immerse yourself in a journey down the Douro – at a hotel near the city of Porto – and travel to experience what do you have for yourself. There may not be a party as luxurious as Sarah Sampaio’s, but of course what you can do here won’t be forgotten so quickly.

One of the offers is an outdoor massage (150 euros for 40 minutes), yoga classes with a view of the Douro free of charge (only on Sundays), a boat trip on the river (from 150 euros) and since it is located in Castelo de Paiva, walk along Paiva footpaths (185 euros up to three people). If you want to not only see but also feel nature on your skin, try a signature ritual that combines the exfoliating effect of iris root and a mineral peat facial mask (from € 110 for 50 minutes).

With a glass or cutlery in hand, the Douro41 Spa Hotel is the ideal place to guide you on a journey of flavors and aromas. You can start sharpening your senses in a sensory experience through the scents of the Douro River (€ 35 per person), have a picnic in the garden (from € 40 per person), a tasting menu prepared by Chef Douro41 (from € 160 per person) or a master flavored oils class (30 € per person).

A night for two starts from 459 euros, including breakfast.

Sarah Sampaio’s New Destination Celebrates 30th Anniversary

The anniversary has not yet come, only on July 21, and the pre-party continues, this time in Quinta do Seixo, for a picnic with a friend and a model Jasmine Tux and from Dena Galucci…

Quinta do Seixo, on the southern bank of the Douro river, in Cima-Corgo, also faces the river and adds to the landscape the vineyards from which the best wines from the Douro region are produced. The estate has a winery with advanced wine-making technology, which can be visited and combined with tasting.

Better than seeing, tasting local wines accompanied by appetizers, which seemed to be lacking at the outdoor picnic Sara Sampaio hosted here. It costs € 40 per person and includes a bottle of wine and regional products. Jasmine showed little, and the ham and toast and butter cheese on toast with edible flowers stood out.
