Primeiro Quartel Apartments - 3 – Peso da Régua

Bright and fitted with a balcony facing the town, this studio is one of the units of Primeiro Quartel Apartments, on Largo dos Aviadores, roughly 200 m from the centre of Peso da Régua.

Everything sits in a single room: the bed, a cable flat-screen TV and air conditioning, plus a kitchenette with a fridge, microwave, hob and coffee machine, so you can cook instead of eating out every night. The bathroom has a shower, free toiletries and a hairdryer, and the Wi-Fi is free and fast (119 Mbps).

It suits solo travellers or couples who want a tidy base that is smoke-free and pet-free. Check-in runs from 16:00 to 21:00, and you should tell the host your arrival time in advance; check-out is between 10:30 and 11:00. A handy starting point for the Museu do Douro, the quay and walks among the vineyards of the Alto Douro Vinhateiro.
